Ep. 22 – Senior PM – Tech Saturation, Jobsite Culture & Hard-Won Advice with John Riggs

Senior Project Manager John Riggs (Suffolk) shares his journey from plant genetics and political science to leading complex construction projects. He unpacks what’s really happening on today’s jobsites, from subs to GCs, and how curiosity and hands-on learning shaped his career. John breaks down where tech helps—and where it adds friction—covering BIM and digital delivery, reality capture and drones, punch lists, scheduling, and the promise and limits of AI. He explains how owners, designers, and builders can align early to get real value. We close with practical advice on time management, delegation, and leadership, plus a candid look at life as a new dad. If you build, buy, or design, this episode shows how to cut through the hype and focus on what works.
