We Build w/ Todd Pettigrew, Scheduling Manager, H. J. Russell & Company

On this episode of We Build: The Podcast, Paul and Lonoia are joined by Todd Pettigrew, a Scheduling Manager for H. J. Russell & Company. Todd, an engineer by training, has been with the company for more than six years, and he played in integral role in the award-winning City of Atlanta Water Supply Program. In his role as the project scheduler, he was responsible for developing the game plan in regards to scheduling, putting it together and monitoring the process, making and suggesting adjustments and tracking the project to get the job done. As one of the most complex projects in the company’s history, in partnership with PC Construction, the project gives the City of Atlanta about 2.4 billion gallons of water as a reserve and increases the amount of time to make any potential repairs to pumps or related equipment from 6 days before the tunnel and reservoir was formed to now over 30 days without having to ration water. In addition to his construction scheduling expertise, Todd also shares details about his upbringing and various jobs that eventually led him to his current position, as well as his love for flying planes and figure skating.
