Ever wonder how a naval background can shape success in the construction industry? This intriguing episode brings together two former naval officers turned tech entrepreneurs, Zach and Drew, to shed light on their innovative labor tracking platform for the construction industry. Built on their experiences in the US Navy Civil Engineer Corps and the submarine force, they've crafted a platform that is revolutionizing labor tracking in construction, and their journey is nothing short of fascinating.
During our insightful conversation, we delve into the unique set of skills that veterans bring to the construction sector. A background in the command and control structure and a bias towards action are just some of the invaluable traits that translate from military service to the construction industry. We also discuss how tech is becoming the cornerstone of work-life balance in construction, and how companies increasingly recognize the need to ensure their employees have this crucial balance.
Wrapping up, Zach and Drew share their thoughts on transitioning from the military to the construction industry. The physical results seen at the end of the workday in construction, they say, are incredibly rewarding. They also offer up some advice to companies on how to attract more veterans to their ranks, emphasizing the need to establish a veteran community within the business for diversity and support. Whether you're in the construction industry, considering a career switch, or simply fascinated by unique career paths, this episode is packed with insights and stories that you won't want to miss.
