Kadir Ercan

Trained in Mechanical Engineering, Kadir worked as a Project Engineer on thermal power plants in his native Turkey before embarking on stints in Iraq and Sudan as a Construction Manager building power plants and generators on site. He worked in over five countries before an opportunity in the U.S. arrived. Soon Kadir was managing steel site installations for a local vendor. His remarkable experience, combined with growing skills in directing submissions and supporting our jobs, will no doubt lead to Kadir managing a different type of “power” project here in New York.

“Traveling to over 35 countries, I enjoyed so many different cultures. I was happy visiting workers in the field. I saw. I touched. I talked to people. I find stereotypes often prevents communicating. Once you open up to other human beings, you will always find similar things to share.”
