For the past several months I've watched painfully as my utilization suffered because I was assigned to a project that does not allow me to be fully utilized (EM also nitpicks hours billed)...my manager and ppmd are already aware of the situation but haven't offered up another engagement. How can I fix this situation without annoying them?

Non-fun answer: Reach out to your network to see if you can get staffed part-time on another engagement to help with your utilization.

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

I am a construction project manager and have managed very high end 40,000 + custom estate projects. I am looking to do residential development projects as well but need a finance partner. If anyone is interested in partnering for projects please contact me. Projects would be self-performed without the need for a GC and various soft costs.
