I truly enjoy being a part of the Risk and Governance team which allows me to support LBEs through payment and invoicing. The entire team really cares about making a difference in the community and we are dedicated to supporting the success of the Bayview-Hunters Point. The friendships created through the BDFP are priceless

I’m proud to work at BDFP due to our groundbreaking initiatives in regards to the neighborhood hiring program and BuildHers! Being on this team is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Seeing our successful partnership with union representatives and community-based organizations grow has been awesome. Uplifting this historically marginalized neighborhood and giving those who live here the opportunity to improve their own backyard is incredibly rewarding. Being from the Bay Area myself it really warms my heart to help make a positive impact on this community.

This project is unique because the relationship between the managing prime contractor and its sub-tiers is very close. As package prime contractors, we have the opportunity to mentor smaller firms and help them grow. The biggest impact is knowing the people who live in the neighborhood will have work to provide for their families. Our efforts are reflected in the passion the workforce has on site.

Being in Safety, I have the responsibility to ensure that everything we do on the project leads to everyone making home safe each day. I’ve gotten to know many, many workers and I care deeply about their well-being. I’m proud of the fact that I’m contributing to a generational project that will greatly benefit the community with its energy efficiency. Aside from the project itself, I’m proud that our BDFP Team are active in the community, volunteering our time, and efforts.

I appreciate the team's support to get us through challenges. The BDFP is a professional environment that allows for career growth while ensuring sitewide safety. I enjoy working with people and building good working relationships with workers and team personnel. I enjoy the fulfillment of completing the project in a safe manner while learning constantly.

Teamwork is not a phrase that is taken lightly on this project. We all have that frame of mind when approaching problem solving while on site. The scope of work on the BDFP is tremendous and allows every team member to grow in their career. Being a part of a state-of-the-art, brand new facility is exciting. This project has given me the confidence to know that know matter the challenge I have learned within myself that I will prevail.

There’s a genuine culture of collaboration where team members are always ready to lend a hand when needed, whether it’s solving a problem on-site or offering support in other areas. This collaborative spirit strengthens the project and creates a positive, motivating environment for everyone involved. Additionally, I’ve gained invaluable exposure to the dynamics of local workforce relationships. Working closely with local hiring has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities the community faces. It’s a learning opportunity that not only benefits the project but also helps me grow personally and professionally.

In my role as the Project Manager, I get to influence and/or be a part of every aspect of the project from funding to planning to environmental review to design to construction to public engagement, and ensure that all the project pieces continue to fit and jive together to make a whole complete picture (project). BDFP is the largest and most expensive project to be undertaken by the SFPUC (and possibly the whole City). We are building brand new, much anticipated new infrastructure from the ground up that will be impactful for generations in the neighborhood and the City it resides in. This Project has inspired and driven me to BE a better person and leader in my work and personal life. To be an open, honest, compassionate and inspirational leader.
