The skills that transfer - Andres Camejo | Episode 8

Chemical engineer, quality engineer, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, continuous improvement PM in life sciences, and now project controls at Stelic. On this episode of As Planned, Michael Bograd sits down with Andres Camejo to talk about how a career across oil and gas, manufacturing, and pharma/biotech carried straight into construction scheduling. Andres explains why the industry changed but his mindset didn't: every project, whether it produces medicine, electrical cabinets, or a facility, aims to deliver value safely, with quality, on time, and within budget. They cover: What Kaizen means and how Andres applies it to his own weekly reporting Why new project tools fail without training and a champion (and why teams blame the tool instead) How he uses a stakeholder register, communication plans, and RAID logs on an active life science project How PMBOK practices helped him add value fast without a construction background What Stelic should look for when recruiting, and why background matters less than commitment and experience His takeaway: the job of project controls is to provide reliable information so the team can make better decisions.
