Sammy Crow, Project Manager at HPS Mechanical, Inc

Sammy Crow, Project Manager at HPS Mechanical, Inc., shared that necessity led her to a career in construction. She needed a full-time job, and the first one that came her way was a job as a dispatcher for a plumbing company. Sammy's career path included working as an administrative assistant for the purchasing department with an electrical contractor, eventually moving into the projects side as a project assistant, project engineer, and now a project manager! Through it all, she fell in love with the industry and has continued to grow, develop, and learn.
