Day in the Life: Celebrating the People of MYR Group

Editor’s note: From our project managers and construction managers to safety and estimating departments, MYR Group could not succeed without its hard-working and talented people. Every role matters and each person contributes to the overall success of our companies. We highlight several of these individuals and their roles throughout the year in our Day in the Life series. Here are some highlights from our most recent interviews.

Construction Manager

Hassan El Badaoui is a construction manager for Powerline Plus Ltd. , our subsidiary based in Toronto, Canada. He joined the company in 2019 as a billing coordinator, and through dedication and acquired expertise, ascended to his current role.

“The moment a person has the ownership and dedication, Powerline Plus recognizes the person and work. Even if you think you are in the shadows, they view everyone as valuable,” Hassan said.

He works alongside and coordinates with many departments including design, estimating and construction to ensure projects are executed efficiently and safely.

We asked him what a typical day looks like, why construction management is essential to the company’s operations, about his leadership style and what he loves most about his job.

Safety Manager

Clint Spencer has worked in safety for MYR Group for 14 years. As a safety manager for Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc. in Colorado, Clint has witnessed tremendous growth in health and safety and the company’s commitment to advancing safety practices.

“We always tell everybody they have a voice. If they see something unsafe, stop the work and get a hold of me or my team, and we’ll come out and work with them to come up with the best, safest solution. I’ve seen the shift since I’ve started that our crews use us more than they used to and feel empowered to call us,” Clint shared.

Find out about his safety career journey, what his day-to-day looks like, how technology is helping him do his job even better, and why mentorship means so much to him.

Estimator Trainee

Estimator trainee Katrina Wilmot joined MYR Group subsidiary E.S. Boulos Company from the wind industry, where she had become interested in schematics. She celebrated her one-year anniversary with the company in March.

“We receive drawings and are usually given a week or two to finish the estimate. I count all the site lights, building lights, fire alarm devices, receptacles, telecom devices, mechanical devices, electrical panels, conduit runs, site work – anything that needs a power connection,” Katrina explained.

Discover what it takes to be a successful estimator, what Katrina enjoys most about her role, and what she loves about the culture of E.S. Boulos.

Alex Doss’ enthusiasm for his job and team propelled him from field engineer to project manager in less than two years. He joined our subsidiary The L.E. Myers Co. in 2019 and applies his passion for teamwork and leadership and plays a crucial role in the estimation and management of civil, substation, and transmission line projects.

“MYR Group is such a diverse company, and our endless capabilities bring a new set of challenges to me each day. I enjoy the challenge of problem-solving and using my skill set to overcome the daily adversity that my job presents,” said Alex.
