Elmer is a detailed oriented Project Manager. He is effective in delivering clear direction and manages his projects efficiently. Additionally, Elmer is willing to go the extra step to mentor junior colleagues. I have enjoyed working with Elmer on his water projects and have learned a great deal from him on both technical design issues and project management skills.
