Meet Nick Wise

May 4, 2021 | By Chesapeake Contracting Group | Hard Hat Hang Up

Meet Nick Wise - Project Manager and this month's Hard Hat Hang-Up feature.

Nick was introduced to construction through his family ties to the plumbing industry, which eventually lead him to building a career on the construction management side. Nick started at CCG as a Project Engineer in 2017, and his hard-work and dedication to growth lead to his promotion to Project Manager late last year. Nick's most memorable and rewarding moment in his career so far was managing the 107 Forbes project, a ground-up, 4,000 SF office project located in Annapolis, Maryland.

When asked what his favorite thing about working at CCG is, Nick's answer is the people. "Everyone at CCG is so personable and are very helpful when you run into roadblocks in your personal life or career. The executives make it very easy to approach them to help work through whatever issues you are dealing with," he adds. Nick's passions outside of the office include motocross (he's been racing since he was 4 years old!), exercising and traveling to his next adventure.

Learn more about Nick below:
1. What got you into the construction industry?
I have family in the plumbing industry that talked me into the construction management side. I’ve always liked solving unique problems and with construction there can be some quite difficult ones to solve.

2. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work?
Traveling! Other than that most of my time is spent racing motocross or exercising.

3. What do you like most about being a Project Manager?
Some days it can be difficult but having the ability to coordinate all of the upcoming work on my projects.

4. What has been a rewarding/memorable moment in your career?
So far it has been completing a building that I was in charge of running, buying out, and coordinating.

5. What’s your favorite thing about working at CCG?
Everyone at CCG is so personable and are very helpful when you run into roadblocks in your personal life or career. The executives make it very easy to approach them to help work through whatever issues you are dealing with.

6. Any advice for someone entering the industry? It can be overwhelming at times but never be afraid to ask “dumb” questions. Asking questions is how we all learn so never be discouraged to ask a question about something you do not understand.
