“I really liked the atmosphere when I interviewed here. Everyone was really nice and was there to help if I needed anything. I wanted to be around a group of people that genuinely care about their jobs and love doing what they do. It doesn’t really feel like a job but more of a second home. ”

What drew you to The Douglas Company: Before The Douglas Company, I was a CAD designer at a fire sprinkler contracting company that did a lot of ALFs. I felt like this was the natural progression to learn more about the construction industry.

Jermaine Lewis Jr.
Major: Civil Engineering
College: The University of Central Florida
What drew you to The Douglas Company: I was looking to see if I could experience what it was like to be a project manager, and that’s exactly what I found at The Douglas Company.
How have you benefited working with a mentor every day: From working with Alex, I’ve learned a lot more about negotiation and the forming of contracts because I’m working at the beginning of a project this time around. A lot of things aren’t clear cut right away, and there is typically a lot of back and forth about our goals between subcontractors and members of TDC. Making sure everyone knows what we are trying to accomplish and how we are going to do it is clear is what working with Alex has shown me.

How have you benefited working with a mentor every day: I have learned a lot about construction that I wouldn’t have been able to learn if it wasn’t for having a mentor. Being able to ask questions is very important in learning from all the experiences your mentor has.
