As we move into the second quarter of the 21st century, we are excited to spotlight the next generation of leaders at MEI. Our future is being shaped by engineers, designers, and professionals who are advancing their skill sets, building meaningful relationships, and supporting our clients and communities across Texas.
As MEI continues to grow, we will showcase these rising contributors and share their stories. Today, we spotlight Mason Elliott from our Georgetown team.
How would you describe your role at MEI to someone outside the company?
"I do field work for a company that designs overhead and underground power lines. Sometimes that means collecting data on existing power infrastructure or hammering stakes that represent where new poles are going to go."
What has working at MEI taught you that has helped shape your career?
"Everything has a process, and everyone has a part to play in that process. Over the past 2 years at McCord, I’ve gotten pretty good at my step of the process, but I’m always trying to learn the other parts from the people who do it. Understanding each piece of the puzzle gives me a greater understanding of the work I do and how it helps the company overall."
What is one key lesson you’ve learned in your role that you apply every day?
"Never stop learning new things. The amount of knowledge at McCord cannot be overstated. Each one of my coworkers is like another textbook just waiting to be read. Whether it’s a specific piece of hardware on a pole I’ve never seen before or a new program I’ve never used before, someone almost always has the answer I’m looking for. After a while, I’ve built up enough knowledge for myself to do more than just field work."
Stay tuned for more as we continue to introduce the talented people who are advancing MEI and supporting the communities we serve.
