What are you most excited about in your work or the CRE industry right now?
What excites me most is how new technology has enabled our field team, office team, and project partners to stay connected in real time. Mobile apps, 360° site capturing, and cloud platforms are what make it possible. The moment a site conflict, RFI, or procurement delay pops up, everyone knows about it. That same technology lets us loop clients in right away, sharing updates and answering questions as they come up, instead of providing a delayed response or waiting for a scheduled call. The result: more information, fewer gaps, faster decisions, greater alignment, and fewer fires to put out.
Emily has worked at Corderman & Company for nearly five years. She started as a Project Coordinator assisting project teams with the closeout process, managing insurance requirements, and providing administrative support on jobs. She was aptly promoted to Assistant Project Manager in 2023, a role in which she has continued to thrive, taking on greater responsibilities, strengthening her project management skills, and contributing to the successful execution of projects across the company.
