ahartman@pkelectrical.com
Amanda has over seven years of experience in the AEC industry, all of which have been spent working for PK Electrical, a woman-owned electrical engineering firm located in Reno, Nevada and Denver, Colorado. Brand new to the industry with a Business Management and Leadership degree, she found herself surrounded by technical, left-brained engineers and a whirlwind of new acronyms and couldn’t help but wonder how she landed at an electrical engineering firm. Nevertheless, her innate passion for people and building relationships quickly surfaced, catching the attention of leadership as a potential growth opportunity. Since being intro- duced to the world of client relations, her role has developed and expanded from Denver’s Administrative Assistant to the firm’s Business Development and Marketing Lead. Amanda has led the Business Development/Marketing department since 2018, successfully mod- ernizing all marketing materials and implementing an incentive program to encourage active participation by all staff members in business development and marketing activities. Beyond building relationships and winning projects, her primary focus continues to be fostering a firm-wide culture of business development, imparting on all staff the idea that we are noth - ing without our clients and that reputation is everything as a small firm. As Amanda states, “I have been able to use my experiences and skill set to provide resources and opportunities to help my coworkers grow professionally and personally. We’ve effectively established an environment in which every person feels responsible and worthwhile in the pursuit of proj- ects and building client relationships. Watching my technical coworkers develop their soft skills, gain confidence, and bring in new clients has been the most rewarding thing I’ve expe - rienced in my career.”
