One of the other aspects that I really love about the company culture is it ’ s extremely open to and supportive of new ideas
In addition to rising material costs and labor shortages , the sector is also navigating a digital revolution . When asked about how Pattern is utilizing technology to its advantage to support the US ’ s transition to renewable energy , Javier responds that this too is an ongoing hurdle . “ It links to what I was saying earlier about pushing our supply chain . We ’ re working on optimization . Instead of having each site manage their own supplies to solve individual needs , we are working on a global solution while still supporting the development of local suppliers .
“ We have several initiatives to optimize our supply chain and to support the operation and maintenance of our sites . We work closely with the engineering department to facilitate this strategy , which includes the development of alternative suppliers and direct sourcing . We have also invested heavily over the last few years in technology to monitor our fleet , and that is bringing very good results , so I ’ m sure we will continue on this path ,” he shares .
