Our people truly make all the difference in the quality work we deliver. Today, we are putting the spotlight on Jason Pulsipher, Director of Estimating, who is driven to work hard, support any part of a project, and make a positive impact across our company. We interviewed Tony to learn more about his favorite projects, his hobbies outside of work, and who inspires him. Read what he shared:
Please describe your role as Director of Estimating at JGM?
My role will be to help oversee the costs for all estimates, as well as reviewing proposals and contracts for projects. Evaluate each project and help come up with our best win strategy and ensure that our construction teams are set up for success in safety, quality, production and cost.
What drew you to JGM and this role?
The culture that JGM has is fantastic, all the people I met and spoke with during interview processes made this place feel like home. People, safety, and quality core values as top priorities were a huge part in attracting me to JGM. The growth and potential for JGM are amazing and I wanted to be a part of that.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
The most rewarding part of my job is training and teaching others, whether it be on the estimating side or the construction side. I love building work, and I also love data and numbers, estimating gives you the best of both worlds.
What advice would you give someone entering the estimating field?
One of the big things that makes a person a good estimator is getting some field experience. Any kind of experience from putting your hands on the work will make you a better estimator. Being very detail oriented and being able to adapt on the fly are also things that you want to focus on.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
My favorite thing to do outside of work is spend time with my wife (Jeanie), my son Brody (11), and my daughter Blakely (8). We make multiple Disney trips each year and that has become one of the things we love to do together. I also love sports, and all outdoor activities. If there is a fish to be caught, or anything that involves hunting it is on my radar.
