It's Feature Friday! Meet Samantha Wilson – Project Engineer for Macallan Construction!

-What’s your construction specialty?

My construction specialty is Project Engineer. I enjoy being out in the field and seeing the project come to life from the plans to real life.

- What attracted you to the construction industry?

Growing up my uncle was a residential general contractor, and I often went with him to job sites. I enjoyed seeing what he did in the field. I always knew that I wanted to follow in his footsteps and be in the construction industry.

- What was the most memorable construction project you’ve ever worked on?

My most memorable construction project is the Augustus Wardlaw Smith renovation project with Harper General Contractors. This project is in my hometown of Spartanburg South Carolina and was originally built in the 1920’s. It has historic meaning to many people that I know in the area. Being a part of the renovation process was very meaningful to me. I wrote an article about the use of laser scanning for this project which was also fun and meaningful to me.

- What advice would you give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?

If you enjoy learning and want a challenge, then construction is the right place for you. You will never stop learning and growing in this field. Everyone knows something that you don’t know which means you can learn something from everyone.

-Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!

I have lived in Japan, been to Australia, South Korea, and the Philippines and my favorite place is Japan. I prefer Japanese food over American food ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
