Hello, all!
I am relatively new to the planning community, and I find myself in the difficult position of working as a planner for an engineering/construction directorate with no background in those topics. The manager who hired me told me that having an engineering background wasn’t necessary, but it would sure help to have a clue as to what these folks are talking about...as if it weren’t bad enough that I don’t have the answers, I don’t even know the questions, LOL!
My undergraduate work was in Medical Laboratory Technology and Biological Sciences. Two years ago, I completed my Master’s in Management and achieved PMP certification through PMI. I’ve been working in PM for almost 8 years.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to good sources of information about construction/engineering management?
Thanks much!
Christine
