I joined the Telios team in 2014 after spending 20 years on the owner’s side of a global high-tech manufacturing company; I felt that my perspective and experience would bring value to the overall design and construction process. The creation of Telios Construction opened endless opportunities for us to capture specialized markets and provide our customers with exceptional turnkey solutions. I’m amazed every day at the quality of work produced by such a talented, close-knit team of engineers and staff, as well as the culture and atmosphere that is unmistakably Telios.

I knew soon after I joined Telios that I had made the right decision. I have been given a great opportunity to learn and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, supported by a strong team with dedicated leadership. The environment and culture is supportive and team-oriented. Telios is an inclusive organization, welcoming to people from all walks of life. I admire the commitment the company has to recruiting the next generation of talent. The company aims to advance from within, and encourages the employees to grow and flourish throughout their career.

The people at Telios are truly what makes this company great. Having coworkers you can rely on and trust both in your professional career and personal life is a rarity in today’s work culture.

At Telios I’ve worked with a great group of professionals who support one another and after the hard work is done we celebrate our successes together.

I have spent more than 50 years in the MEP world. I started as a plumber/pipefitter apprentice and have been a journeyman plumber, a master plumber, a project manager and an estimating manager. I have seen many innovations in technologies, tools and systems over that time. But the best part of my journey is what is next! Since joining the Telios team, I have been fortunate to be part of some incredible projects and I am able to work alongside some of the smartest and brightest women and men that this industries has to offer.

I first experienced Telios as an intern, and I believe it’s a great environment to learn for a young kid still in school with no knowledge of the industry yet. Everyone I worked with took their time to teach and explain, made me feel welcome, and extended the relationship past just work to make me feel at home in a new city. Because of that initial intern experience, I decided to join Telios because of the quality of people I work with and the family-type environment of the workplace. In addition, the quality of engineering knowledge I’m learning from those teaching me and the variety of projects I get to work on keeps my day-to-day work interesting!

After my summer internship with Telios, I knew it was my perfect match. I can’t imagine walking into any other office and feeling as comfortable and “at home” as I do at Telios. There is no monetary value that you can put happiness and how you get along with the people that you work with every day. This is something that has always been very important to me in deciding where I work. I have been working at Telios for almost 5 years now and many of my coworkers are still some of my closest friends. Telios is my home away from home and my amazing Texas family. Moreover, Telios has a place for each employee’s individual passions and has been able to provide me will a fulfilling career.

Telios provides the freedom to pursue whatever goals you have, both professionally and personally, just like any close and supportive family would. We work hard to give our clients the best possible outcome on every project we are involved in, and our attention to detail combined with out-of-the-box thinking helps to build trust and strong, lasting relationships with our clients.

The biggest reason I chose Telios was the atmosphere. They truly embodied the idea of a “family first” atmosphere and it was apparent even when I was just an intern. I wanted to find a place where I enjoyed not just the work I do, but the people I work with, and that is exactly what I found at Telios.
