Corps Engineering Chief Vows Greater Collaboration with ACEC

“We need you,” U.S. Corps of Engineering and Construction Chief Pete Perez told an ACEC Annual Convention audience.

While focusing on the relationship between ACEC and the engineering industry, Perez acknowledged some past difficulties and miscommunications in the collaboration process and was working to make it better.

“We’re trying to pinpoint the reasons why we don’t collaborate like we used to as we need better collaboration if we are to successfully execute our goals.”

To facilitate improved relations with industry partners, the Corps has developed a new playbook on construction and engineering relationships which focuses on greater commitment, communication, and collaboration.

“We need greater commitment to making each other successful, not just for us, but for those we serve and the public at large.”
