Hannah Shasserre
Job Title: Project Engineer
Company: ArchKey Solutions
Location: East Coast/National Projects
Age: 23
Years on the Job: 3

Hannah Shasserre became interested in the electrical industry after completing an internship with ArchKey in St. Louis at the Fenton, Mo. headquarters.
“I had a passionate mentor with 10 years of experience in the construction industry,” she said. “He showed me what it takes to be a great project manager, and how to have fun while doing it.”
Born in St. James, Mo., she attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, where she received an associate’s degree in the pre-engineering track. She then transferred to Texas A&M, where she was part of the horse judging team and earned her bachelor’s degree in industrial distribution.
“I was incredibly blessed to have outstanding instructors at Texas A&M who were industry professionals,” she said. “My classes prepared me for the industry by providing leadership skills, technical background, and schedule building.”
As a project engineer, she updates her quantity tracking documents, requests updates on material orders, and ensures the field crew has what they need to complete the planned work for the day. She also provides installation drawings, submits and tracks RFIs and submittals, compiles change orders, and meets with the field crew.
“I am responsible for relieving impacts to work in the field from discrepancies in the drawings or advice on means and methods from the contract documents,” she said.
Her favorite and the most challenging part of her position is learning and understanding the work put in place.
“The electrical construction industry is very technical, and there is always something new to learn,” she said. “The challenge of overcoming any hurdle is the most rewarding.”
One day, she would like to become a project director, lead a team, and support people in being successful with their own skills and traits.
“I plan to reach these goals by asking questions, continuing to learn the electrical industry, and supporting my team members to the best of my ability,” she said.
