At PSM, we value people. As staffing consultants, we interact with people all day, every day. And whether it's with a client, candidate, or contract employee, we value each interaction. So much of our website is dedicated to promoting our services, that we thought it only fitting to showcase our most important resource, our people!
In this installment of our “Employee Spotlight”, we spoke with Grady Rowe, a contract employee who is currently working as a Nuclear Procedure Writer, supporting one of our major clients on-site in Tennessee. Our contract employees are especially important to us and we are honored to have the opportunity to work with such talented individuals. Although Grady is extremely busy, we were able to touch base with him to ask a few questions...
U.S. Marines 1969-1973, 1978-1999 - Infantry, Recon Marine, Nuclear Biological Chemical Defense Officer – Retired. Upon retiring from the Marines, I worked various contractor assignments with DOE: Tactics Accessor / Advisor / Evaluator @ KAFB, Albuquerque, NM; Special Response Team (SRT) @ Y-12, Oak Ridge, TN; Superintendent w/demolition & contaminated waste removal @ Y-12; Security Operation Manager @ Fermi Labs, Batavia, ILL. Operations Engineer/Work Planner/Procedure Writer @ Waste Isolation Processing Plant (WIPP), Carlsbad, NM; currently Nuclear Procedure Writer for PSM.
A position back east and getting closer to family. But I must add that after initial contact was made with PSM, the recruiting approach was superior to other companies. Genuinely felt they were reaching out to me. Kind, no non-sense, professionals that know their business and are “people oriented.” – Thanks Missy, Thanks Catherine.
Marine Recon – U.S. Marines. Multiple skill sets; tough guy business.
PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH, and QUALITY.
Working with good quality people. Hands down haven’t dealt with anyone that is not a high quality, first-class professional.
I like to work-out, run, hike, participate in competitive sports, and listen to quality music, whether it be classical, gospel or bluegrass. I am also usually in church on Sundays.
There is mobility and it offers new opportunities in different geographic locations. Contract work usually pays more than stationary on-site, in-house work. Additionally, the mobility has similarities to the military lifestyle.
At all costs to yourself, demonstrate diligence. BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND WITH YOUR EMPLOYER. The dividends are priceless.
R&R in HAWAII.
Your life is as a tale that is being told. You are writing your own history. Showing kindness and treating all people with dignity (even those that are belligerent) has continuously proven to be profitable.
