Description: Ever wonder who is responsible for ensuring the performance of a building? Yes, designers and contractors can have a significant impact during construction, but once the building is complete, it’s the building operators and maintenance staff that have the greatest influence on the operational efficiency of large buildings. As a result, these boots on the ground professionals play a critical role in our fight against climate change. In this episode, Kelly chats with Jonathan Rodnite and Adam Romano, two engineers who represent two interconnected and vital practices of building operations—maintenance and training. Both Jonathan and Adam share their perspectives on the importance of operator training, provide advice to listeners who may be interested in joining the workforce, and recount their favorite stories from the field.

I am the Assistant Chief Engineer of 125 Park Avenue with 10 years of commercial and real estate experience. I started as a handyman in 2012 and my career goal is to become a Director of Engineering. My passion for this business has driven me to pursue additional classes at the Local 94 Training Center with the goal of becoming an instructor. I want to encourage the current and future generation of Local 94 engineers to elevate their performance with a deep understanding of operational efficiencies by way of hands on experience.
