CHRIS CHAMPAGNE/27 YEARS WITH P1 Operations Manager/Team Leader “Our versatility across multiple markets has made P1 successful to date, and the changes to Mechanical Construction take that same versatility to the next level. By breaking down market-based silos and allowing each team to work on projects as needed across disciplines, we’re creating even greater versatility. We want to keep the ‘walls’ between teams small. That helps create more sustainability because we can pursue more jobs in local and national markets. It’s also going to lead to more collaboration and sharing of ideas between the teams. The new emphasis on business development will help bring in more work nationally. This creates opportunity for the talent we recruit to learn and advance. Personally, I look forward to creating a culture of fun among my team, including getting more involved in the community and getting to know team members beyond just the jobs they do. As our footprint grows, opportunity grows for everyone in the company.”
ERIC AFFOLTER/17 YEARS WITH P1 Senior Project Manager/Team Leader “The future of P1 is bright. We’ve always done the right things in how we treat people and how we train people. This reorganization doesn’t change that culture, we must always be a learning organization and broaden our horizons. We are no longer categorized as ‘team healthcare’ or ‘team industrial’, and that will give each team opportunities to progress by giving us the ability to expand beyond one vertical market. For me, I’m excited to get involved with something other than my healthcare niche, while still being able to work in that market. We’re also building stronger team leaders by diversifying team knowledge and experience. When I came on board, what impressed me was our ability to maintain customers over many decades. That customer base will always be our top priority. While we highly value those customers and will continue those critical relationships, we look forward to a focus on developing new customers and growing our business in different applications and industries.” 11
