Julie Bottos
Cost Sharing & Project Manager, SCS Consulting Group Ltd.
Sector: Private Sector
Discipline: Consultancy
Year: 2020
Magic Moment: Joining SCS Consulting and being given the opportunity to grow a team, mentor and teach of what I have learned over the years in the niche field of Cost Sharing. The common question is ‘what is cost sharing?’ and the only response is ‘something you do not learn in school’. The moment when you see it ‘click’ is when you know you have done your job well.
Key Influence: Mac Cosburn. He trusted me, put faith in my ability, taught professionalism, integrity and overall kindness.
Elizabeth Sawicki. She was there at the beginning of my career. She was on the client side of the table, spent time to work with me in understanding clients needs and to just be a friend.
Next Big Challenge As An Industry: There are so many, where to start. Striking that balance between environmental protection, economic growth and providing affordable housing for our next generation.
Secret Talent: I love potting, that is making pottery. Keeps me grounded.
On Championing Others… Right now I am focusing on mentoring junior staff so we can provide the industry with the quality service well into the future.
One word that captures you: Impartial.
