— Josie Broome , Director of Procurement & Operational Excellence , REC Solar in Colorado which is the largest rooftop in the state . The project saw the installation of 17,000 panels spanning 19 acres and boasting a capacity of 6MW . “ It was a real team effort . We worked together to secure the products that were used , found ways to reduce costs and achieve higher productivity in the field ,” she explains . “ Our typical approach is defined prior to the beginning of the project working directly with the field on setting up workstations , collaborating with them on their instructions and providing guidance on the sequence of work . Every project is unique , it ’ s up to us to look for ways to maximize efficiency in material handling , loading the roof , and how the crews move throughout the site . We track all of that .” Broome has worked on a diverse and broad range of projects and her role is to influence them from a supply chain and operational excellence perspective . “ In my previous roles at REC , I managed projects and project teams directly ; from schools to hotels , cash to financed , on carports , roof , and the ground . The variety , volumes and regions are vast , however there are still opportunities to learn and improve .”
