In this episode, Anthony Fasano joins ENHANCE to talk about what effective project management really looks like in the AEC industry—and why it’s essential to keeping projects on track. He and Andy break down the project manager’s role as a facilitator and communicator, not just a scheduler, and discuss how mentorship, diverse project experience, and stepping outside your comfort zone can accelerate an engineering career beyond technical skills alone.
They dig into how AEC professionals can define success for themselves, the importance of clear technical and managerial career paths, and how strong interpersonal skills shape real leadership. Anthony shares practical resources for growth, including training programs, his book Beyond PM Training, an AEC‑specific project management certification, and AECPM Connect events that bring PMs and firm leaders together.
The episode dives into his deeper motivations: filling the project management and leadership gaps left by traditional engineering education and outlining what top AEC project managers do differently.
Perfect for project managers, technical leads, firm owners, and anyone in AEC who wants to build real leadership and project management skills—not just add a line to their résumé.
