Marianna Fleming, EIT

Project Engineer – Diver, Marine Solutions, Inc.

Why did you become involved in PWC NJ? Another member, Liza Pope, recruited me. She’s currently the Scholarship Chair and the DE&I Chair, and she recruited me to join as her Co-Chair for the committee. I look up to her and jumped at the opportunity to work on something with her. I’ve been attending PWC events and getting to know different members at various events since. 7. What is your favorite project that you have worked on in your career? My favorite project has been a project that I’m involved in now. It’s a 2-year contract that involves the inspection of structures at 39 different facilities in upstate New York. I’ve had the opportunity to step into an assistant project manager role for this and I’ve learned about managing a workload when the bulk of it is delegated to others. I’ve also learned about different types of diving techniques necessary for the type of structures I work on for that contract, which are different than the typical structures I dive in New York Harbor. 9. How has your involvement with PWC NJ influenced your career? I’ve been able to get advice from people at all points in their career. I’ve received advice in the short term and in the long term that I’ll be keeping with me as my career continues to grow. The members of PWC NJ are people who look to create opportunities for the people around them and understand the value of supporting each other in the industry. I hope I’m able to do the same for others, too.
