LOOKING FORWARD:

P1 Internship Program Adds Two-Sided Value

What do P1 Project Manager Brady Kyle and P1 Project Engineer Amelia Mullen have in common? They may not work on the same projects or teams, but they were both once P1 interns that became full-time employees.

P1 has a solid history of interns returning after college: more than 15 in recent years. These interns come from different schools and backgrounds, but have all found their home at P1. Recruiting is critical for any company’s success, and P1 takes it very seriously. Finding great interns is highly competitive in today’s market.

According to P1 Vice President Glenn Shain, “Without a good intern program, we would just be chasing our tail in the challenging recruitment market. This is the path to fueling P1’s growth."

“P1 works hard to find these talented new interns every year.”

Former intern Amelia just joined the P1 team full-time this summer, but is already finding a culture of support.

“Of all the companies I interacted with during college, P1 was by far the most supportive,” Amelia said. “My coworkers have always been welcoming and respectful, and my supervisors willing to listen to my ideas, answer questions, and consider requests.”

About 10 years ago, Brady found P1 through his Mechanical Systems Professor and MCA student chapter faculty advisor at Pittsburg State University. Other interns-to-associates found P1 on the Handshake app.

P1 makes it to multiple colleges for job fairs, but good, old-fashioned word of mouth works too.

That’s how Project Engineer Camden Wheatley found his way to P1. Camden knew P1 Vice President Steve Smith growing up, and became familiar with the construction industry early.

his internship

“Knowing Steve partly inspired my pursuit of an engineering degree, and eventually an internship at P1,” Camden said.

From casinos in Las Vegas to hospitals in Kansas City, all of these interns got different work experiences - experiences that ultimately brought them back to P1 after college.

Project Engineer Connor Hayes reflects on his time as a P1 intern.

“I was only 19,” he said. “There was so much I didn’t know, so tried to soak up as much as I could, every day. Everything was new to me and it was all exciting.”

Connor still holds on to that excitement, and has been building a very successful career with P1 Service for more than three years now.

Project Manager Eric Affolter explains the two-sided value of internships.

“Internships don’t just help out the students, but also the companies looking for new talent,” Eric said.

“The internship gives P1 the opportunity to evaluate students for a longer period of time to determine if they would be a good permanent fit in the organization.”

Project Engineer Hayley Leonard has been with P1’s Architectural Metal shop for nearly two years.

“My internship at P1 was a great introduction to the field and how it works, especially for someone like me who had little experience in the construction industry,” Hayley said.

" Internships don’t just help out the students, but also thecompanieslookingfor new talent.

Project Engineer Silvana Alcantara says the biggest take away from her internship was variety.

“I enjoyed being able to wet my feet as intern and learn from different projects and experiences,” she said. Brady agrees.

“I had the opportunity to be on site at a project for my first internship, which allowed me to see what construction was all about in the ‘real world’ as opposed to what they tell you about it in school,” he said.

After graduation, all of these former interns had their pick of places to go, but ultimately decided to come back to P1.

The number one reason? They all seem to agree it’s work/life balance and culture.

“You aren’t a cog in the machine here, you are part of a team that works together and is understanding about the various challenges of work life balance,” Camden said.

P1 President Kollin Knox says that is something the company has always made a priority.

“I can remember as far back as my early days at A.D. Jacobson. The mantra was - and still is - 'family first',” Kollin said.

“It's extremely important that everyone finds a way to manage work responsibilities, honor family commitments, and invest

" I want all of our associates to be mentally and physically healthy, and work/life balance is imperative in achieving this goal.

in themselves,” he explained. “I want all of our associates to be mentally and physically healthy, and work/life balance is imperative in achieving this goal."

Even as P1 grows, the company still maintains that ”family feel”, fostering an environment of learning and support.

“I love the family vibe at P1,” Silvana said “We are technically a large company, but still have that smaller company feel. It’s nice to feel like I know so many people at P1.”

Glenn says P1 was inspired by the 2023 interns.

“The feedback this year was very positive as our interns gathered for the final time. Whether or not they join us after graduation, they have already become P1 brand ambassadors by sharing their positive intern experience with their peers,” he said.

Recruitment for next year has already begun, and P1 is out looking for the next generation of associates.

Last-minute Internship Leads to Lasting Career

P1 Electrical Service Manager AlexVanLeeuwen has been with P1 for nine years, but his P1 career journey began

“I was an online student studying from my basement.When I signed up for the Spring semester and a summer internship accredited class, I thought I had time to find an internship.

But I had waited too long - intern spots were all full everywhere I turned.

I had been following P1 for several years while I was an electrician in the field. I was intrigued by the history and evolution of P1, and the rigid tasks associated with merging MEP trades.

P1 happened to have one internship position left with the mechanical service division at theTopeka branch. After interviewing, I could tell this was a position that would teach me a lot in a short

To this day, the P1 business principle of“Honest Business Only”has been a major part of my daily work ethic, both inside and outside of P1.The“100/0”philosophy is also a great reminder that I am responsible for my action - with zero excuses.

Gaining knowledge from the long-tenured employees has been seamless for my growth as a manager. I also appreciate the evolution from year to year that the organization provides, as well as the growth opportunity that comes with it.

My advice for the next generation? Ask the‘dumb question.’If you are curious, others are too. Be the one to ask.When you have downtime, introduce yourself to someone new - you may need them someday.

Visit the field employees and learn how MEP trades collaborate. It’s truly a masterpiece when an MEP project concludes!”

NOT BE OK IT IS OK TO

September 4-8 is Construction Suicide Prevention Awareness Week

Thanks to Safety Specialist Bry Grame and the P1 Safety Department for sharing this important message.

We are constantly striving for physical safety in the construction industry, but how often do you hear about the importance of our mental safety?

Construction Suicide Prevention Week is Sept 4th-8th. The Kansas City Builders Association, along with P1, has been actively spreading the word on this cause.

Construction suicide is a serious topic that is often difficult to talk about, and the message we want to send is “It is OK to not be ok!”

When a suicide occurs it’s not just the victim that is affected, but everyone who was close to that person. The problem doesn’t get resolved, the trauma just gets passed on.

Despite the difficulty, this issue needs to be addressed through more conversations.

Statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show how greatly suicide negatively affects our country - and it’s even more concerning in the Construction industry.

• Suicide is the12th leading cause of death in the U.S.

• In 2020 alone, the U.S. had one death by suicide about every 11 minutes.

• For people 10-34 years old, suicide is a leading cause of death.

• Nearly 46% of people who died by suicide were diagnosed with a mental health condition.

• The CDC has noted for many years that Construction is the #1 occupational group for male suicides.

Some factors that may contribute to this last statistic include:

• Long work hours on a job that may have little certainty about how long it will last

• Physical distress to the body, which can lead to pain and alternative coping methods, such as alcohol, drugs, or opioids

• Substance overdoses due to pain killer and other pain management addictions

• Suffering in silence: perhaps because the industry is heavily male, some carry a “tough guy” mindset

What can we do to help fix this problem? At P1 we want you to know that you CAN help.

1. IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK.

2. Stop the silence and talk about it.

3. If you are having suicidal thoughts or feelings, or notice someone else demonstrating them, reach out to someone.

4. If you are uncomfortable talking about it to the individual, reach out to a supervisor, HR, or anyone on the Safety team for help.

5. You can also reach out to a professional on the national 988 SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE.

Join this campaign and let’s take down the stigma that mental health should be kept to yourself.

Let’s bring the top ic to light and let everyone know to NEVER LOSE HOPE and that IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK!

JACOB LEE

DOES IT AGAIN

It was just over a month ago when we shared the news that P1 Service Apprentice Jacob Lee won the UA District 4 competition – as the only fouryear competing among five-year apprentices.

Well, he did it again! Jacob earned first place in the U.S. among HVACR (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) Service Technicians – making his home Local 533 in Kansas City very proud.

Jacob says he was encouraged to compete by UA training coordinator Chris McGhee.

“Chris came through looking for strong competitors to represent 533, and I decided to do it,” Jacob said. Participants opt in to the competition at the local level, and once they win that go on to state, and, finally, nationals.

P1 Service Manager Adam Collier has been with Jacob throughout the journey, and recalls how he made the same decision to “opt in” years ago.

Until he competed, Adam says he didn’t really have a sense of how big the entire UA is, and what that means for the significance of this competition.

“I didn’t really understand the vastness of the six UA districts spanning North America,” he said. “Our district alone – District 4 – covers a massive amount of land, from Kansas and Missouri up to the Dakotas. It’s a lot of people.”

“It really opened my eyes to just how many talented people you compete with to get to a national level,” Adam added.

“What starts with around 50,000 apprentices is narrowed down to just six –the best of the best in each trade.”

Jacob says his hands-on experience helped prepare him for competition.

“I don’t think I could have done this without the solid foundation I’ve gotten in base technical skills – not just the knowledge of them, but the application,” he said.

“Working in the field daily, application experience is driven by the technician,” Jacob added. “You do the best you can on every call. We work in a very broad field, so when I come to something that may not fall under my expertise, I go the extra mile to learn from the person who knows it, or dig into a manual to learn it.”

 Jacob Competed with the support of mentors, colleagues and his wife, Courtney

Adam says he applauds Jacob for having the initiative and courage to compete.

“Not a lot of apprentices necessarily want to take this on,” Adam said. “But it’s a testament to Jacob’s unrelenting pursuit of growth and improvement – he is always finding ways to get even better at what he does.”

Adam adds that drive and passion aren’t things you can teach.

“Jacob and I have worked together on a variety of complex projects in our trade, and he has always expressed an interest in doing more, learning more, and being the best at what he does.”

One thing Adam noticed about Jacob, even under the duress of challenging timed exercises during the competition, was his calm and focused demeanor.

Jacob says that mindset is critical.

“There’s a level of resolve and staying calm needed to successfully compete at that level,” Jacob said. “At the end of the day, you have to stay focused on the fact you’re doing what you’re already good at –don’t get in your own head and just do what you do every day.”

Jacob also credits his past and present opportunities – and the trade veterans from whom he’s been able to learn.

“At P1 more than anywhere, I’ve been able to seek out the guys who are exceptional at their job,” Jacob said. “I’ve been surrounded by technicians who are not only very high caliber, but they are excited to pass that knowledge along.”

Jacob says that although he found participation in the competition rewarding, he considers himself exactly the same person he was before the wins.

“I’m the same tech today as I was yesterday. Just knowing that when I show up, the work I do benefits a customer – that’s what I find most rewarding.”

A big CHEERS for Jacob, and an huge thank you to all of P1’s experienced mentors who understand the value of passing their knowledge to the next generation. 

Relationships Matter

Senior Project Manager Brian Maginness has had a good working relationship with JE Dunn Construction for many years.

The relationship dates back 25+ years to Brian’s time in Kansas City, when he worked with JE Dunn on many construction projects like North Kansas City Hospital, Liberty Hospital, Saint Luke’s and many others.

That P1/JE Dunn relationship followed P1 out west, and a successful bid from the P1 Las Vegas leadership and estimating teams gave Brian another chance to work with a premier P1 trade partner in the Las Vegas market.

Although hospital construction work has been more prominent for P1’s Kansas City-area offices, it has been less of a mainstay for the P1 Las Vegas team.

“Historically, P1 Las Vegas hasn’t had as much hospital work, especially something like Southern Hills which involves adding floors and is heavier on the construction side,” Brian said.

When the opportunity to do the mechanical scope for the Southern Hills Hospital project came along, it was a great opportunity for the team to expand its healthcare resume.

“I believe the relationship P1 has built with JE Dunn in Kansas City helped us get this project,” Brian said.

Initially, the project scope was to add one patient floor to the hospital,

with upgrades and revisions to the powerhouse chiller and boilers.

But the project came with an unusual - and unexpected - advantage. A series of change orders have added significantly to the project, adding another floor as shell space along with booster pump change (original to the hospital) and new medical air and vacuum equipment. The new medical air/vacuum change was done live with no interruption to the hospital.

Those change orders added up.

“What started as a $6M+ job turned into a nearly $11M job,” Brian said. “It worked out well for us, because we were able to add the floor on before the job was completed.”

“The booster pump and med gas equipment were things the hospital needed changed,” Brian explained. “They had the confidence in JE Dunn and P1 enough to ask us to complete those scopes as well, even though they were not part of the original project.”

Brian says keeping relationships positive across all aspects of the project has helped P1 build a good reputation and good rapport with owner, GC, and other subcontractors alike.

“Not only has our field team developed a good reputation with JE Dunn, we have done the same with the hospital itself and the other

P1 LAS VEGAS LANDS LARGE SOUTHERN HILLS HOSPITAL PROJECT

trades,” Brian said. “We have strong collaboration among our own trades – plumbing, pipefitting, and sheet metal – and have kept that same spirit of teamwork with the GC and other subcontracted trades like sheet rock, fire/sprinkler, and electrical.”

Those relationships have paid off with good attitudes in the field, as well as a foundation of trust P1 has built with all parties involved –a foundation that will almost certainly pave the way for more opportunity.

“In addition to the change orders on this project, our small projects team has been selected to complete additional items directly for hospital as well,” Brian said.

“We can see the efforts paying off,” Brian added. “We certainly appreciate the positive feedback we’ve gotten from JE Dunn during this project, both in project meetings and in communication with our executive team.”

Brian says it is a nice change of pace, not only being able to work on a large hospital project, but to do it with JE Dunn – an old friend that has withstood the test of time and distance. 

“What started as a $6M job turned into a nearly $11M job. Not only has our team developed a good relationship with JE Dunn, we have done the same with the hospital and the other trades.”

It should be noted that the author of this great feedback from JE Dunn is Jobsite Superintendent Cody Chancellor. Cody is the very same person Brian worked with at Saint Luke’s East nearly two decades ago!

“I wanted to share with everyone what a great job P1 has done at Southern Hills in the last 12 weeks. The 5th fl. is completely occupied with post-surgical patients and we had to get into every room to install plumbing, and most rooms for new duct - all serving the new 6th fl. addition.

The original phasing was shown to be done in 15 phases over 24+ weeks. Together we produced a plan to perform this work in only 4 phases and in 12 weeks.

The work was completed exactly on schedule with no unplanned impacts to patients, no safety issues, and no quality concerns. This was a huge win not only for all of us on the construction side but also the least impactful plan to the patients and staff. We received several compliments from the 5th fl. nurse manager and the infection Control manager on the work being done and the professionalism of the workers. Thank you from JE Dunn on this too.

Jason, Chris, and Travern with P1 did an outstanding job. The schedule was aggressive, and all three guys did whatever it took to achieve our common goal.

I expect P1 to continue this great track record but wanted to share what a great job the P1 team performed.”

Associate Profile on Service Technician

TRISTEN LUDEWICK

Reading books in elementary school is a big part of the education process, and for Service Technician Tristen Ludewick, the message in one particular book had a lasting effect.

Tristen grew up near El Dorado, KS. After high school, he decided to follow in the footsteps of several family members and join the Navy.

During his 4-year enlistment, Tristan worked as an engineer, learning to work on large mechanical systems.

When he returned to civilian life, he had the experience he needed to become a residential HVAC technician. After several years in residential service, he made the transition to the commercial side and joined UA Local 441 Plumbers & Pipefitters.

He came to P1 Service Wichita in 2020, where he is a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technician.

“I work on the stuff that no one else likes to work on,” Tristen joked.

“But truthfully, I like every aspect of my job. I enjoy the actual work I do and I enjoy working for P1.”

Tristen says he loves the family atmosphere at P1 and appreciates that management does a great job of making sure the techs feel appreciated for the work they do each day.

Being able to work directly with the customer is also one of his favorite parts of the job, and it was an interaction with a customer back in his residential days that got Tristen started in a hobby that had been nearly a lifelong dream: Falconry.

That dream began with a novel Tristen read in elementary school, My Side of the Mountain, by Jean Craighead George. The book is about a boy surviving alone in the Catskill Mountains with the help of a Peregrine Falcon he raises and trains to hunt.

“I remember thinking at the time that was one of the coolest things you could ever do,” Tristen said.

That feeling stuck with him into adulthood, so when he got out of the Navy, he decided it was time to get involved.

He ordered the books he needed, but getting into Falconry is a complex process.

Potential falconers must serve an apprenticeship under a licensed falconer, a process that takes up to two years. Once the apprenticeship

Potential falconers must serve an apprenticeship under a licensed falconer, a process that takes up to two years. Once the apprenticeship is complete, they must pass a written test, and obtain a permit from the state and a federal license to fly the birds.

Tristen says the best part of falconry is the bond he develops with the raptor. “They never really like you, they only respect the fact that you provide them an easier way to routinely catch quarry."

Falconry has become a family affair, and in keeping the sport alive, Tristen has recently taken his wife Kristina on as an apprentice.

is complete, they must pass a written test, and obtain a permit from the state and a federal license to fly the birds.

For Tristen, finding a sponsor was a seven-year search that ended on that fortuitous day when he was on a service call.

“I was on a service call at a gentleman’s house and saw pictures of guys with birds on their fists and feathers and falconry hoods, and I asked him if he was a falconer. He said he was, so we started to talk -and hit it off right away,” Tristen said.

The sponsor took him on as a pre-apprentice for two years before he would take him as an apprentice, because he wanted to make sure Tristen had the commitment to follow through.

“When my official apprenticeship started we began trapping birds,” Tristen said.

As an apprentice in the state of Kansas, you have to trap a wild bird and there are restrictions on which bird you can start with.

Tristen said that people generally start with a red-tailed hawk. "We set up a trap called a Bal-chatri: A cage like trap used to trap raptors – you put a gerbil inside for bait," he said.

The gerbil is in the cage in such a way that it isn’t harmed by the bird being trapped.

Tristen says he traps the birds in the fall and it takes two to four weeks to train them. Once trained, he hunts with them during the winter and releases them back to the wild in the spring.

He currently has one small American kestrel.

“When they hunt, they chase and kill the quarry and we let them feed on that for a while as a reward. Then we do a trade off with another piece of meat, a richer piece of meat that they are more apt to want,” he explained.

“We set it in front of them while they are on the prey, they jump to the fist and start eating on that, and then without them seeing, we take the dead quarry and put it in the bag.”

Red Tail Hawks will catch rabbits, cotton rats and squirrels. The American kestrel catches starlings and sparrows.

Tristen says the best part of falconry is the bond he develops with the raptor. “They never really like you, they only respect the fact that you provide them an easier way to routinely catch quarry,” Tristen said.

“I stay involved because it is the world’s oldest sport, the sport of kings,” Tristen said.

“Falconry is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a living human heritage and now that I am involved, I feel I have a duty to help keep that heritage alive.”

Falconry has become a family affair and in keeping the sport alive, Tristen has recently taken his wife Kristina on as an apprentice.

Yet another fascinating thing you probably didn’t know about one of our own P1 associates: We wish Tristen and his family the best of luck in the “sport of kings”! 

HAPPENINGS

 Speaking of the New P1 Service Office: The P1 executive team closed the Lenexa Construction office so associates could go visit friends at the new P1 Service office during the monthly service lunch. The lunch was a little more robust than usual, with food trucks and opportunities to tour the new space.

 I Scream, You Scream: We were all screaming for a break from the recent summer heat waves! Fortunately, the P1 Culture Club had just the thing in August, with pop-up ice cream treats for P1 associates.
