#139: Building Careers That Last: Inside RVE with Stephanie Cuthbert and Mark Annunziato
We sat down with with Steph Cuthbert and Mark Nunzio from RVE. We dug into their unique paths in engineering. Steph shared how she's built her entire career at RVE, leading the firm's water and wastewater division.
And Mark talked about stepping into his new role, leading the MEP division across several regions. We talked about culture collaboration. What and what keeps people at RVE for the long run. We also dove into the hiring process. What makes a great engineer, how they identify talent, and how RV's core values guide who joins the team.
A clip from my discussion with Steph and Mark:
Whether its direct or indirect, but is there a way that you're looking and listening for those core values throughout the interview process?
Absolutely. In fact we've generated some really good questions for each one of those, and that's really how we try to hire too.
If you have the core values, then we can figure everything else out. If you have that drive, if you have that integrity, if you wanna service the client, then especially for young people, we can teach you. We can bring you along.
That's why we establish our core values to help us hire as well. We have questions that we ask to try and dive in to see, you know, where they align with our values.
Another Clip from my discussion with Steph and Mark
Obviously the hot thing that everybody is doing right now or talking about is how AI is going to play a factor in what the industry is doing. Fortunately, while there are different components and companies trying to push some sort of AI integration into MEP modeling and designs and things like that, it's something that's going to be very hard to be able to take away the designer's thought process and eyes and specific knowledge of a facility or something. You can't just plug a computer into a facility that's been existing for 60 years and it's going to know how to fix issues.
And then who's going stamp that, right?
Yeah. We'll start issuing AI stamps maybe, I don't know. But where I kind of see it going is allowing the AI subject matter to play a supporting role in helping the design engineers figure out some things. Whether it's fact-checking something, maybe asking a basic question to figure out which code references you need to go find, things like that.
