Congratulations to John Sullivan, senior construction project manager in Children’s Hospital Boston’s Facilities Department, who’s been selected as July’s Employee of the Month.
Whereas many people fear change, Sullivan relishes it. When it comes to moving departments’ spaces, replacing technological systems or creating entire new buildings, Sullivan tackles projects with gusto, from purchasing equipment to managing the design phase to overseeing construction. Over the years, he’s ensured that several major projects—like Children’s multi-million dollar Waltham location—get completed by coordinating with managers, architects and construction workers, running budgets and enforcing schedules.
Friendly, unassuming and affable, Sullivan has earned a reputation for keeping the peace during what are often highly stressful projects. According to one impressed coworker, he “interacts with many type-A personalities but doesn’t get flustered. He remains positive and calm and keeps projects moving.” Many people who’ve worked with Sullivan compliment his near- clairvoyant ability to predict and ward off problems. They also appreciate how he takes the time to truly listen to them and the way he explains decisions so they’re totally understandable. “He’s so easy to work with and is always professional,” says a colleague. “He has such a difficult role to play and it’s amazing how he gets it done on time, on budget and with a smile.”
