I guess I’m Mr. Rivian

Well... sort of. 
 

Construction management for the site work at the new Rivian plant in GA.

2000 acres. They expect to be producing 400,000 vehicles at this plant when it's up to speed. 
 

I am SO under qualified for this! 

No, I can't get any discounts! 

Congrats on landing a big gig!

Very impressive! We're sure you can do it.

Very impressive! We're all sure you can do it.

Are they are least letting you guys use one as a gopher vehicle?

That's an awesome project though. 

In reply to SV reX :

You're very well qualified!

Can you bring it home, one piece at a time?

Congratulations. How soon before they start building foundations?

I've driven past the big Korean battery factory on 85 near Commerce GA and that thing is HUGE. 

It's probably the best way to become qualified. Congratulations!!

How was it that you were chosen in the first place?

That is freaking awesome!! Very happy for you!

Congratulations.  You've got this.  Managing large projects is like managing small ones but with scarier numbers.

I thought they fired up the old Normal, Illinois Mitsubishi plant then cut back on personnel due to low sales?

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

That's way above my pay grade. 
 

I doubt a dip in sales has much to do with the long term capital planning for a multi billion dollar company.

They should be starting foundations around January. 
 

Before that, we've got 7 million cubic yards of dirt to move to build the pad.

The site for the SK battery plant in Commerce is 283 acres. 
 

This one is 2000 acres. 

Congratulations! 

Congrats man! How bad is the commute to the site? Does that mean you'll be in the Atlanta area on the regular?

In reply to slefain :

I'm living near Columbus GA... about 2 hrs. 
 

I go through ATL at least twice per week. 
 

(Social Circle is almost metro ATL)

 Sounds like a fun role! Congrats!

I told Janel about the 7 million yards of dirt. She was impressed :)

Way to go, Paul!  You've got this.

Congrats and best wishes on your new gig.

They just got a change approved. It's closer to 9 million.
