Jerome Myers, Project Engineering Manager – CH2M Hill

At the beginning of his career as an engineer, Jerome Myers admits that he wishes he had been more knowledgeable about what was possible in the energy field.

“I had no idea of all the different avenues there were for someone like me,” said Myers who serves as Project Engineering Manager for CH2M Hill. “My view of the opportunities was limited to my surroundings and I had no idea that there were people who were traveling around the country and the world helping solve energy related issues.”

He noted that the Global dependence on the industry further illustrates just how much is possible for those interested in pursuing an energy career.

“The transition from energy being a want to a necessary resource for life as we know it gives me confidence that while the industry may change for the foreseeable future those working in Energy will shape the face of our planet,” Myers said.

In addition to learning more about the industry, Myers credits his long-term success in the field of energy to effective communication. He says energy professionals interact with a large number of people in their roles and that requires being equipped to effectively communicate.

“The sector touches so many people and those who are able to explain what we do and why we do it are positioned to help advance the missions of various organizations,” Myers said. “Additionally these talents are required for leading the teams that will be solving the challenges facing the world related to energy.”
