One of the things Primera really allows us to do is to grow in our disciplines. It allows us to explore in a safe environment, where we make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. It helps us grow into the exceptional employees that we are.
Melissa Clark, Controller | Corporate
I've been working with my key managers for over five years now, and I've learned so much from them. They give me opportunities to have client-facing discussions and be in difficult situations, but they also back me up and help me grow and know how to get through them. I feel like I can reach out to them, but I also have [confidence] that I can deal with a new situation on my own.
Shannon Hackett, Consultant | Consulting
Coming in to Primera provides you with a lot of opportunity to establish yourself in the industry because there is a lot of growth potential.
Matt Villanueva, Civil Engineer III | Transportation
Primera is fun. I love coming to work here every day, and I have for the past 17 years. It's a mix of great people, great projects, and challenging work. I get up in the morning, and I'm excited to come into the office.
Erin Inman, President & CEO
I appreciate all of the opportunities to give back to our community, such as supporting New Life for Haiti and Rebuilding Together. I especially enjoy and value all of the support Primera has given to furthering women in STEM and our participation in the CONSTRUCT program. I am continually inspired by the individuals and organizations that Primera works with.
Colleen Finkl, Project Manager | Buildings
I have been working for engineering firms for 20 years. Primera is the first company that made me feel like part of a family and not just an employee number. That “family feel” really helps us work well as a team.
