Crushing Construction Management with Lokesh Palani

Would you choose a career based on its similarities with…wait for it…chess?! 😯

That’s why Lokesh Palani chose Construction Management, but you don’t have to be a pro chess player to win this game. 😉

In this interview, Lokesh spills the beans on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Construction Management route for your career, including the growing role of data analytics and how it’s going to impact the field in a few years.

Also, as a graduate of civil engineering, Lokesh’s journey shows how civil engineering opens doors to career paths most people don’t even consider — and some of them may not emphasize the PE license as much (even though it’s still a nice add-on for credibility 😉).

If you’re exploring construction management or looking to branch out of your current field, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you learn the ropes…from someone in the trenches every day. ✅
