The driving force behind project excellence: our people Meet Leyla McIntyre, our accomplished Lead Project Controls Manager, who guides the success of some of Soben's largest life sciences projects with precision and expertise. We asked her what she enjoys more about working at Soben: 🔸 Why did you choose Soben? It all began with my previous collaboration with Americas CEO Joe Cusick. I had worked for him before and really enjoyed it, so when he reached out again asking me to join Soben I didn’t hesitate. The chance to work with him again made it an easy decision. I also value how Soben lets us bring in talented individuals we already know are a perfect fit for the job. 🔸 What is it that makes Soben special?   I really like how close we are. Even when everyone is mostly working from home, we still try to have a team spirit and I feel we have created a good culture. On top of that, in my 20-year career I've never encountered another company that provides such great opportunities for young professionals. I believe that the people we hired here are some of the best human beings I’ve ever worked with! 🔸 Why did you choose a career in construction? From the start of my career in the corporate world, I had a natural inclination to contribute to projects that demanded precision and organization, which later proved to be valuable qualities in the construction industry. I also find a lot of fulfillment in working on projects where my skills are essential, and I enjoy the dynamic nature of construction.

My most enjoyable time in the Industry was when i was a Project Director and leading a team, nothing gave me a buzz like it. The teamwork that lead to incredible friendships during that time, were amazing. When handling a portfolio of projects, this has more challenges in my view, as you are less in control of the outcomes. You are more reliant on other #consttructionprofessionals yet also at times you have to make do with the team and environment you have inherited. At times it's more like being sat at the table in Number 10 Downing Street, than being a Builder. 👷🏾♂️ The last few years have been fun, ultimately the passion for me is to get back in the hot seat as a Project Director. The Honesty was so refreshing to hear. 🙏🏾 Makes understanding the person we are representing easier, also covers so many questions about them wanting to step back. Its a regular occurrence at present when in conversation with #constructionprofessionals that follow a career path, they ultimately don't enjoy. Can you really say NO to a promotion? You have to give it a go.......... Don't you? #insight #constructionindustry #careers #nsrassociates

I'm thrilled to introduce a rising star in our construction business team, Joel Hatch-King 🌟 Joel, just 21 years old, has joined us as a Procurement assistant. Despite his young age, he's already making a big impact. His out-of-the-box thinking and innovative ideas are bringing a breath of fresh air into our operations, making us question, "Can we do this better?" 😮💭 One of the fantastic traits that I appreciate about Joel is his relentlessness. He doesn't give up easily. It's a trait that not only leads to personal growth but also fuels our company's progress. 👊💥 I must mention Joel's fantastic taste in music. The tunes he brings to our office are second to none, and buzz up the work vibes. 🎶🎵 If you ever feel like you're stuck in your ways, remember that fresh perspectives, like Joel's, can be the catalyst for change and innovation. Embrace it! 🔄💡 Finally, even when Joel has clearly had a weekend of raving and loving life (being young) he’s still rearing to go on a Monday morning. What a legend. Joel, we're excited to have you on board and can't wait to see your continued growth and success! 🙌🔝 #EmployeeSpotlight #Innovation #Relentless #ConstructionBusiness #Teamwork What fresh perspectives are you bringing to your company?

Today's #AskKatie Question is: What is a service people may not be aware that Riggs & Co offers? Her Answer: Junior planner mentorship. I love to mentor and support those coming up in our industry and the reality is that in meetings and events while a formal education is amazing most of what will really launch your success will be learned on the job or from connections with senior planners. I love the opportunity to spend time with someone eager to learn and grow and at Riggs & Co we offer this as a contractible service. This can be a great resource if your budget is limited to hiring a planner who is less seasoned.

When I mentioned that I was going into business with a friend, my family, and many other folks expressed concern from the get-go. "Doing business with a friend means losing both the friend and the business," they said. I was well aware of the meaning and context behind those words. Moreover, I've witnessed such cases around me quite often and continue to do so. Joe and I have been close like brothers since college, even to the extent of knowing each other's families well and being there for each other at every major event in life. I've found that this aspect actually helps rather than hinders our business over the past two years. Of course, Joe's excellent personality plays a role, but his outstanding professionalism is the primary advantage of maintaining our good partnership. We understand and complement each other's shortcomings better than anyone else, both within and outside the company, which is why I believe this partnership is sailing smoothly. Of course, the biggest downside is that our conversations are always centered around business, on weekdays or weekends. This has led us to become excellent business partners in the eyes of the world, but it feels like I've lost a close friend. However, this is just the current situation. As we age, I believe there will come a day when we look back on this period of living like racehorses and reminisce together.

Hired as Field Operations Managers last year, Will Batson and Jarret Fowlkes of Commercial Maintenance have been promoted to Junior Account Managers.   “They are proactive, client-focused, and detail-oriented,” Customer Relation Manager Josh Wilder said. “These promotions are well-deserved, and we are excited to see Jarret and Will continue to thrive in their new capacities.”   A graduate of Mississippi State University, Will joined Michael Hatcher & Associates in July 2023. Jarret, who graduated from Christian Brothers University, has been part of our Team for nine months. Both said they love our company’s camaraderie and family-like atmosphere and agreed that their stints as FOMs will be an advantage in their new roles.   “Having been a Field Operations Manager, I can communicate issues to other FOMs about properties so they can relay that to the crews,” Jarret said, adding that from mowing and mulching to edging and trimming, “I wouldn’t ask them to do something I wouldn’t or don’t know how to do. That’s why I think communication is so important.”   Their experience as FOMs ultimately benefits our Commercial Maintenance customers.   “When I’m out on property or talking to a client, I can better explain our process of how we do things and give them a better understanding of what needs to be done and the timeline it will take to get it done,” Will said, noting the importance of building and maintaining positive client interactions. “We want customers to be able to trust us with anything they need or want done on their properties.”   Check out the work that Will, Jarret, and our entire account management team can do for your commercial property at www.hatcherlandscape.com. #CommercialLandscape #CommercialMaintenance #Excellence #CareerGrowth #CareerDevelopment #CareerAdvancement
