“Even if I don’t have those 40 years of experience, I have my credentials and that earns credibility and earns me respect.”
Matthew Schneller, GSC, Manager Construction and Estimating at MCI
Matthew Schneller is not afraid of a challenge – and that’s what he faced when he made the decision to leave an established career in finance to pursue his interest in construction. The Gold Seal Certification program helped him gain the knowledge and understanding he needed to quickly grow his career in construction management.
“If you are willing to set time aside to complete the Gold Seal requirements, there are a number of courses that go beyond what you learn at a job. It’s in your best interest to do it – your peers recognize it, and it’s worth it.”
Matthew is now a certified construction management professional and has proven his worth in the industry. He is currently a project manager for a design-build contractor – dealing with constant deadlines and balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders daily. He likes the challenge of something different every day. It has been a liberating career change for him. His future is bright, and there is nothing holding him back in this second career he loves.
