Read on to learn how Megan is Driven to Deliver.

How are you Driven to Deliver? How do you exude the mission?

I am driven to deliver because it gives me a great sense of pride to have such a tangible reminder of all of the hard work put into each of the projects I am a part of. Driving by a building that I helped make a reality gives me a great level of satisfaction.

Describe a time you worked on a project that would help the client achieve their business goals.

I had the privilege of working on a new headquarters office in St. Louis County. Our client's top priority is safety, and it was important to them that the construction of their new building incorporated their safety goals.  It was great to have the opportunity to partner with a client whose top priority aligns with ours. By safely delivering the project (no accidents or lost time), we were able to achieve their top business goal.

What does our mission mean to you?

Our mission gives me motivation to put my best foot forward on every project. We want to exceed expectations and empower our clients' missions. That takes a certain level of care and commitment on each project, and I strive to achieve that every day.
