There’s a genuine culture of collaboration where team members are always ready to lend a hand when needed, whether it’s solving a problem on-site or offering support in other areas. This collaborative spirit strengthens the project and creates a positive, motivating environment for everyone involved. Additionally, I’ve gained invaluable exposure to the dynamics of local workforce relationships. Working closely with local hiring has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities the community faces. It’s a learning opportunity that not only benefits the project but also helps me grow personally and professionally.

Being in Safety, I have the responsibility to ensure that everything we do on the project leads to everyone making home safe each day. I’ve gotten to know many, many workers and I care deeply about their well-being. I’m proud of the fact that I’m contributing to a generational project that will greatly benefit the community with its energy efficiency. Aside from the project itself, I’m proud that our BDFP Team are active in the community, volunteering our time, and efforts.

I’m proud to work at BDFP due to our groundbreaking initiatives in regards to the neighborhood hiring program and BuildHers! Being on this team is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Seeing our successful partnership with union representatives and community-based organizations grow has been awesome. Uplifting this historically marginalized neighborhood and giving those who live here the opportunity to improve their own backyard is incredibly rewarding. Being from the Bay Area myself it really warms my heart to help make a positive impact on this community.

Teamwork is not a phrase that is taken lightly on this project. We all have that frame of mind when approaching problem solving while on site. The scope of work on the BDFP is tremendous and allows every team member to grow in their career. Being a part of a state-of-the-art, brand new facility is exciting. This project has given me the confidence to know that know matter the challenge I have learned within myself that I will prevail.
