With increased technology and automation, innovation comes with new ideas which leads to new projects and initiatives being created. Who can handle the job? One of the most important roles in any organization: the project manager role. Project managers possess a variety of set skills and oftentimes wear many hats to oversee a specific project from start to finish. We sat down with Erik Weber, Senior Project Manager at Calvary Robotics, to learn more about the world of project management.

Project managers play key roles in ensuring that jobs stay on track, on time and on budget; and the supply chain challenges over the last two years have made their job even harder. Advanced Automation Host Josh Gravelle welcomed Jeff Smith, project manager of Boulter Industrial Contractors, to share how his company minimizes the strain. Boulter, an industrial contracting company since 1892, provides transportation, rigging, steel fabrication, custom crating and packaging, and more.
