Indianapolis Zoo’s Post

In today’s world, people aren’t just choosing jobs – they’re choosing lifestyles and cultures that empower, inspire, and encourage growth. At Acres, our work culture is the heartbeat of our success and the reason behind the long commitment of our teammates who’ve chosen to continue growing their careers with us. Seeing succession in the company in terms of promotions is very rewarding, says Project Coordinator, Melanie Atwater. “This whole position was ultimately a huge offer in itself. They knew I didn’t have a lot of these skillsets and yet the things that I proved, and the things I’ve shown, they seen something in me. So, it’s really rewarding because they took a chance on me.” Our commitment to our team echoes our commitment to our clients – we’re teammates with our clients. We invest in understanding their businesses, their goals, and their projects, building lasting relationships rooted in trust and mutual respect. Our foundation is simple yet profound according to Acres’ Owner and President, Jason Paige. “Hire good people, inspire them to do great things, and put all the tools in front of them.” We are proud to have people from all walks of life, and it is our intention to be every team member’s second home.

A question every zoo or safari park employee should be asking her or himself is, "Do I know what my career goal is?" One thing that I have always told the staff working under my care is that I would be disappointed if I was to find them in the same position or that they hadn't advanced in any way, five years in the future. Doing the exact same routine not growing professionally or personally. This applied to all staff no matter where they worked within the organization. If our industry is to keep on advancing and growing, all dedicated staff need to be setting themselves goals for advancement. Keepers looking to become head keepers or section heads. Section heads to curators, studbook holders or specialist keepers. Guides to VIP guides or Marketing. Our industry is limitless in possibilities of advancement for those that wish to advance in their career by setting themselves goals. But the thing to remember is that in any professionally managed park positions won't just be handed out because of who you know or are related to. On the contrary, You will need to make sure that you have the skills and experience needed to fill the position before you are placed there, and if this is not the case then you are working in the wrong zoo. All of management need to make it part of their routine to check in with those under their supervision on a regular basis, helping and supporting them to not only set achievable goals to help them on their career path, but to also be ready to mentor those that hit walls that may slow down their progress. If, you as a staff member find that you have stopped growing professionally and it seems that the management in your zoo or safari park have no interest in the professional growth of their team members, then it's up to each individual to approach their direct supervisor requesting a time to be set aside to discuss their own professional ambitions and then have goals to be set to help them reach them. timhusband2005@gmail.com

As I explore new professional avenues, I've been reflecting on the diverse projects that have shaped my professional journey. Among these, one project stands out for its unique challenges and learnings – the construction of a renowned retail store in Boston. This experience was just one of many in my career, but it offered distinct insights and growth opportunities. In this project, I held a dual role. Not only was I the lead for the audio-visual component, but I was also actively involved in the hands-on installation of IT and A/V systems, working closely with our remote tech support team. This multifaceted position brought its unique challenges, especially when faced with the project's significant delays and coordination difficulties among various teams, including electricians, architects, superintendents, plumbers, and carpenters. The complexities of interdependent team tasks led to a chaotic job site and missed deadlines. My role required me to be adaptable and resourceful, especially when dealing with evolving directives and the need for clear communication and structured planning. The project reached a turning point with the arrival of the lead consultant and general contractor. Their leadership and strategic problem-solving significantly improved the situation. This experience underscored the importance of effective leadership in managing stress and bringing clarity to complex situations. From this project, I gained invaluable insights into the power of adaptability, clear communication, and strategic thinking in a hands-on leadership role. It also highlighted the significance of teamwork and collaboration, especially when coordinating with remote teams. Despite the initial challenges, we completed the project through collaborative efforts and strategic redirection. This stands as a testament to our team's resilience and ability to overcome adversity, marking a significant achievement in my career. Each project I've been part of has contributed to my professional growth, with this one offering a profound understanding of the nuances of project management and teamwork in dynamic environments.

When a business is on a growth path and there are some exciting new projects on the horizon, it's essential that the next new employee (A competent QS) is able to relate to the business culture and the role. The everyday QS with volume housebuilding experience is not quite the kind of QS I'd like to attract for this role. In fact, it's essential that the level of experience should be in the High-end residential markets. Being particular about making sure people fit into the business culture is so important. What a great place to work for someone who wants to map out their career leading to head of department on a progressive and supported journey. SeniorQS.co.uk
