What is it like being in supply chain at an engineering company?
With my utility engineering background, I understand the technical needs and the schedule implications of the contracts the Mesa’s supply chain completes in support of our engineering work. I have worked as the engineer needing the supply chain support.
Why did you choose supply chain?
After ~25 years in power plant engineering and management, I was ready to try something different. In supply chain, we support all work groups and are able to collaborate with not only engineering groups, but also IT, Finance, HR, etc. and learn more about the business as a whole.
What would you say to kids wanting to make engineering their future?
I enjoyed the problem-solving aspect of engineering. If you enjoy problem solving, possibly a different problem every day, engineering may be the right career for you to consider.
