The W & B Development Family
Current Opportunity
Yalgo, LLC, a member of the W & B Development family of companies, has
an immediate need for a recent or upcoming graduate of the civil
engineering program at Texas A&M.
The Company
W & B Development is a family-owned land development business located in Killeen,
Texas and founded by a 1977 graduate of Texas A & M’s civil engineering program.
Since the company’s inception more than twenty-five years ago, W & B Development
has grown to a team of nearly thirty talented individuals with experience in all
aspects of the land development process. We have the self-sufficiency to purchase
land, plat it, produce engineering and construction drawings, perform the
construction activities, and sell the finished product using our in-house
employees and equipment, and we maintain zero debt while doing so.
We perform both commercial and residential development in several markets
from Waco to Austin and currently have over 5000 residential lots in our
inventory. The W & B Development family is functionally separated into
three companies:
• Yalgo – Yalgo is our engineering company and is responsible for the
design and survey work. On occasion, we use outside consulting firms
to perform specialized design work such as water towers or Letters of
Map Revision for FEMA.
• W & B Construction – W & B Construction is our construction
company and has crews and equipment in the field building site
infrastructure such as roads, water distribution, sanitary sewer
networks, and drainage systems. Our crews do all construction except
asphalt paving and concrete curbing and structures. We use the best
available GPS and machine control technology to reduce construction
time, and very soon we will be able to construct a subdivision with
virtually no field staking.
• W & B Development – W & B Development is our development
company which manages and finances the entire development
process.
The Engineer’s Role at Yalgo
With our vertically-integrated company structure, an engineer at Yalgo is
involved in the project from before the property is purchased until final
inspection and project closeout. Here are some of the tasks for which an
engineer may be responsible in a typical residential project as he or she
develops the required experience:
The W & B Development Family
• Perform preliminary site layouts prior to land purchase to determine
the economic feasibility of the project
• Perform environmental site assessments as due diligence prior to
property purchase
• Submit projects to planning and zoning committees and work with
municipalities and neighborhood groups to get them approved
• Perform numerous site layouts and cost estimates to determine the
most efficient design to use for the project
• Draw and submit project plats to municipalities and attend related
meetings with municipal officials
• Develop site construction plans
o Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to design the site
drainage infrastructure
o Design and analyze water and sanitary sewer networks
o Design various concrete structures
o Develop a site grading plan
• Create 3-D surface models (DTMs) for use in the field by construction
and survey crews
• Supervise our crews during the construction process to ensure design
parameters are met
• Update the design and the DTMs, ensuring that design parameters are
met, as issues arise in the field
• Produce as-built drawings and obtain final approval from regulating
authorities when construction is complete
Why Join Our Team?
As you may have noticed, these jobs are not typical jobs where you are
stuck in a cubicle doing the same thing over and over again. We need
people with more than just engineering ability. The ideal candidate must
have good interpersonal skills, be a leader, be a self-starter, be capable of
“thinking outside the box”, understand the financial impact of his or her
decisions, handle deadlines and stress, understand construction processes
and methodologies, and MORE!
In this role, you will develop as a complete land development professional by
building relationships with all types of people from laborers to mayors and
by learning from a proven and successful team that has built a business that
has grown from nothing to a 5000-lot inventory in 25 years without incurring
debt. In the process, you will be rewarded with an income that is based on
your contribution to our company. The right person for these jobs will be
well-rewarded with competitive compensation and benefits.
Worried about the current housing market? Afraid that a career in land
development might not be the right move at this time? These are valid
concerns, but our company is poised to become stronger in this down
market because we hold a competitive advantage that our competitors lack.
We also are fortunate to be located in an area of the country that has
weathered the downturn in the housing market much better than other
areas have.
Our Competitive Advantage
Our company’s main competitive advantage is that we offer something to
our customers that other companies cannot offer. Using this advantage, we
have developed excellent relationships with several national home builders.
The advantage is pretty simple, really – it is efficiency. Our unique company
structure and methodology allows us to produce residential lots for less than
other companies, including the home builders themselves, can. We top that
off by financing the lots in-house, saving the customer the time and paperwork.
How does this competitive advantage help us in a shaky housing market?
Well, even in a down market, lots are still being developed and homes are
still being built, just not in the numbers they were before the market fell.
The trick is to be the developer still selling lots, while maintaining a
comfortable profit margin. We are able to do that because we are more
efficient than other companies. We are efficient because:
• We look at the financial return on the total project. For instance, when
engineering and construction are done by sub-contractors, each of
those contractors needs to make a certain amount of profit. We, on
the other hand, can spend a little extra time on engineering to save a
lot of money on construction. Our engineers have a vested interest in
the profitability of the construction phase of a project. For instance,
we may take the time to evaluate three different storm drain layouts
because it may save $10,000 in drainage structure cost for an
engineering investment of $2,000. We call it “value engineering”!
• Each of our companies is more efficient than our competitors because
all work we perform generates income. We don’t spend time bidding
on projects only to lose the contracts to competitors, having wasted all
that time generating a proposal. If we are working on a project, it is
because the project is already a real project for us!
• We don’t play the “blame game”. If the engineers mess up and the
construction crews have to redo something, or vice versa, we don’t
shut the project down until we figure out whose fault it was and who is
going to pay for the fixes. We just fix the problem in the most
economical way, and learn from our mistakes.
• The construction company can request field changes that save money
without losing revenue, and the engineers can quickly make the
changes without a stack of engineering change orders to fill out and
process.
• Our companies are good at what they do and are very efficient. We
equip them with the best tools available because we know that these
tools increase productivity. We have gladly spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars on engineering/surveying software and machine
control systems because it allows us to eliminate waste in the process
of going from concept to finished product. Using those tools allows
one engineer to do what might otherwise take three, and when the
design is complete, we create a DTM that is loaded directly to the
machine control system, ensuring that the construction crews build
exactly what the engineer intended, very efficiently.
• Our underlying concentration is on efficiency because efficiency is our
competitive advantage! Every employee in all three companies works
to save costs at every opportunity and is continually trying to increase
efficiency.
• Our corporate structure creates an environment that lacks bureaucracy
because bureaucracy kills efficiency.
• We don’t borrow money. By self-funding our projects, we forego the
direct costs associated with borrowing, like points and interest. We
also save on indirect costs, like property appraisals, market analyses,
financial accounting procedures, and the time and energy that is spent
acquiring loans.
Do You Fit Our Needs?
As long as the population grows, there will always be lots to develop. W & B
Development’s efficiency produces lots at the lowest possible cost, and we
have the financial strength to finance our lots to our customers, giving us a
strong position in the real estate market. Our financial strength also allows
us to grow, but in order to do so, we need high-quality team members. If
we can find team members that understand and can execute our corporate
methods, we WILL grow. Are YOU one of those people?
If so, please contact me:

I’m pretty sure that the Mining Engineering program there at A&M died a long long time ago, but the job
lead below might be worth checking out to see if you can find any students (either current or former) who
are interested in living and working in Australia in the mining industry.
Thanks & Regards,

RED/GREEN = Get the Job Done w/ Accuracy
PS: Do you know if any of the CE students who were interested in Chevron were able to get hired on? I
corresponded with several and forwarded their information further up the chain of command, but got
snowed under with a problem well (just finished last week) and never heard back from them. (Either that,
or their answer is buried somewhere in the remaining 2559 unread messages still in my inbox.) Other
sectors of the economy may still be a bit slow, but the oilfield is not only frantically busy, but terminally
shorthanded. We’re also facing an issue dubbed “the big crew change”. The average age of the
professional workforce is around 50 (I’m 44, so I’m in the thinnest slice of the age distribution pie). The
problem is that the average retirement age (a couple of years ago anyway) is 57.5. So we need to hire a
large number of new engineers and earth scientists and train them up as quickly as possible.

Subject: Lime Recruitment- Brisbane Australia
Good Afternoon,
I am contacting you from Lime Recruitment in Brisbane, Australia. I work closely with Cassandra Manthey, the
Mining Director here who recruits for the major coal miners in Queensland, Australia for roles such as Technical
Services Managers, Mine Managers, Mine Engineers, Production Geologists, Short/Medium/ Long term Mine
Planning Engineers, Drill and Blast Engineers, etc
I have come across your details on data.com and wanted to contact you directly as we are currently recruiting
several engineering roles with top tier coal mining companies in Queensland Australia and I wanted to see if you
would be interested in sending me your CV to see if your experience matches what we require in the roles on
offer? Ideally candidates will have previous experience working in the coal mining industry.
To give you an idea the senior level roles we are currently working on include a Technical Services Manager, Mine
Manager, Principal Mining Engineer, and Senior Mine Engineer for the projects team of a top tier coal miner, based
in the Brisbane head office. The company in question has consistently been a high performing miner both
internationally and in the Australian mining environment demonstrating a 60% productivity improvement across
their impressive portfolio of underground and open cut mines. Mining high margin coal assets, the company has a
large project pipeline of coal resources at advanced stages. These roles will be responsible for working on one of
their milestone projects and developing the technical strategies across this and future projects and studies.
Australia’s mining industry is currently booming and these conditions are providing excellent opportunities for
experienced international mining professionals. Our clients are prepared to offer full visa sponsorship particularly to
candidates with previous coal mining experience.
Some of the opportunities and conditions on offer in Australia include:
• A flourishing export industry offering exceptional salaries with high earning potential (in fact the salaries on offer
here are amongst the best in the world)
• Excellent investment in operations and equipment
• Family friendly rosters and 5 weeks annual leave
• Subsidised housing and relocation assistance for employees and families
• Good schools in family-friendly mining communities and major cities
• Excellent social activities and beautiful location (most of the coal mines in Qld are within a couple of hours drive
of the Great Barrier Reef and tropical beaches)
Cassandra has successfully placed and assisted to relocate a number of mining professionals from South Africa,
Canada, and the USA for roles in Australia over recent months. Australia’s mining industry is currently booming
and these conditions are providing excellent opportunities for experienced international mining professionals. Our
clients are prepared to offer full visa sponsorship and relocation particularly to candidates with previous coal mining
experience.
To give you an idea of the recruitment process involved, the first step would be for you to send me through a copy
of your CV, and then I will organise a convenient time for Cassandra Manthey to give you a phone call. During this
phone call she will conduct a telephone interview to establish your experience and career motivations. From there,
with your agreement, she would represent you to our clients. They usually conduct interviews over the phone, or via
Skype. If you are successful and they wish to proceed, you would do coal board medical and psychometric tests.
Then they would invite you to do a face-to-face interview on site and would fund your expenses to have you travel
to Australia from overseas. At that point they would make an offer of employment.
If you think you might like to investigate these and/or similar opportunities in Australia a bit more, please send me
through a copy of your CV and we can progress from there.
Alternatively, if Australia is not a realistic option for you, I would really appreciate it if you could pass on my details
to anyone you know that might be interested for them to contact me or refer their name to me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dr. Lowery,
I have attached a job description for a Construction Project Manager that I am trying to
fill. Do you have 2-3 candidates that you think would be a fit in our organization? I will
have to do a bit of politicking to get a graduating new hire approved, but I’m hoping for
the right candidate that would make the decision easy. It’s a long shot, but I want to
give it a try. Ultimately it’s my decision. I’m open to consider a wide range of
graduates. I know if Mobil Oil back in 1987 didn’t give me the break I needed, I wouldn’t
be where I am today. I didn’t have the greatest GPA, however, I came with a range of
other activities that was appealing to them. I need someone that will mix well with our
climate; an open personable person that has good people skill (no BS artists please)
and has the smarts to back it up. I need a real team player that can think for
themselves.
Let me know. We are trying to fill the spot soon. They can e-mail me directly with their
resume and letter of interest.
Thanks,

Dear Dr. Lowrey,
I am seeking an advanced Jr. or Sr. level engineering student to help acquire and format data for
a research study paper I am writing for a larger business plan. This information will be used for
the raising of capital for a new venture company and its formation/launch.
This project is a new technology innovation for treatment of primary and/or secondary municipal
waste water, water treatment and a host of other process applications that will utilize Advanced
Oxidation processes driven by high powered acoustic sources. The technology approach is a
hybrid of several techniques that lend themselves to the industrial scale application of the AO
techniques.
The specific innovative technology my company is creating relates to the generation of high
powered acoustic sources, and subsequent integration into the AO system.
The candidate I am looking for will have a working knowledge of the municipal waste water and
water treatment processes and how to access technical and business data from technical libraries,
internet and other sources. The information will be used to develop economic models if the
industry, technology forecasts, market trends, etc. From this our business planning will be
developed on how to address the market and the creation of Pro-formas.
Creation of the business data does require a knowledge of the technical aspects of the water
treatment process in that they will need to understand the different technical issues facing the
water treatment facility and how our technology will impact overall plant processes.
As the project matures, multi-physic analysis (electro-magnetics, magneto-mechanics,
mechanics-acoustics, acoustics-fluids, fluids-chemical, fluid dynamics), physical conceptual
development, system design, fabrication, piloting and data acquisition will all be executed.
This project will be initiated within the next 4 weeks and continue through out the summer. If the
student is interested, a number of these subjects can be carried on throughout their continuing
academic activity.
This NewCo activity is located in New Braunfels. I do not require the candidate to live here, but
needs to be willing to commute several times a week to collaboratively work on the project. Out
of office work can be done anywhere.
I can be reached at 830 460 0809, ssv@evolvedsonic.com
If the prospective candidate is a recent graduate and seeking to go on to graduate school, this
may work as well.
Sincerely,

Dr. Lowery,
It's been some time since we last corresponded but since that time I was
appointed Director of the TxDOT Bridge Division. In this position I direct and
oversee activities of the Bridge Division to include bridge project development,
design of bridges and associated structures, geotechnical design, development of
statewide standards and manuals, construction engineering and support for bridge
and retaining wall projects, and processing and review of project design plans.
As it turns out I am the first Aggie State Bridge Engineer in our 95 year
history.
The real reason I am contacting you is that we may have some positions open for
EIT's very soon. I realize we're kind of late on the May grads but certainly
those graduating this summer or even in the fall would be of an interest to us.
We would be most interested in folks who have taken a structures focus in their
studies and have a keen interest in bridge design, analysis and construction. If
you know of any candidates you think would be good prospects please have them
send me a resume. One important thing to note is that all candidates must be able
to provide proof of authorization to work in the U.S. as a condition of
employment. TxDOT cannot sponsor H-1B or any other types of visas or work
permits.

Dr Lowery,
As the economy appears to be picking back up, I hope the May 2012 grads are having an easier
time finding employment than those from this time last year. My firm has recently begun a
search for a new EIT hire. Our firm is rather unique, in that we do a lot of inspection work of
elevated structures and confined spaces, primarily water tanks and towers, fuel storage tanks and
bridges. I know this type of work does not appeal to a lot of CE grads, but for those that are
seeking a challenge, enjoy working outdoors, and are not afraid of heights or claustrophobic; it
might be a good fit. If anyone you know might be interested, please have them visit our
company website, www.DunhamEngineering.com, and contact me via phone or email. I'm
looking to make a hire in the next 4-6 weeks.

Subject: IBI Group - Internships
Dr. Lowery,
I hope you are doing well at Texas A&M!
I am now working full-time as a Senior Engineer and Project Manager with IBI Group in
Edmonton, AB. (www.ibigroup.com).
We give out internships here each year in the summer months, and I would like to see some
Aggies here.
A. We primarily recruit civil engineering students but there are also limited slots for
architecture and accounting.
B. The interns spend most of their time in the field learning the construction practices of the
engineers. All entry level engineers are required to do at least 2 years in the
field. Therefore the internship may significantly reduce this time frame for someone
looking for a career here.
C. Also here in Alberta we only have 2 colleges that graduate engineers. In short we are
constantly looking for civil engineers in Land Development/Site Civil. The Oil Sands
operations nearby have been stealing lots of the young engineers and we cannot compete
with their pocket books.
D. Also keep in mind that while an Aggie may not wish to raise a family in Alberta Canada,
if we find a good engineer, instead of losing them we simply transfer them to a branch of
their choice. (We are about to move into the Texas Market as well)
Also, I know that DLZ in Indianapolis, IN (http://www.dlz.com/) is currently looking for a 510yr civil engineer to join the Stormwater Management Program.
 Primarily Site Civil/Land Development engineering.
Also CST Industries in DeKalb, IL (http://www.cts-industries.com/) is looking for entry level
structural engineers and possibly a Project Manager level of 10 years.
 Primarily Structural Engineering in the design of rooftops, domes and tank
covers.
Thanks for your time, and please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Howdy!
The reason I am emailing you today is to try and spread the word that my
office is trying to find a summer intern. I remember back when I was in school,
a few months ago, that you would send mass emails to your students telling
them of employment opportunities that former students had emailed you
about. I hope much has not changed since then, and you have not stopped
doing that as I am hoping to help my company out as well as a fellow Ag. We
have a lot business, even though we are a very small business, and we could
really use the help and skills from another engineer. (Especially an Aggie as
I am the only one in the entire office.)
Our firm is looking for a senior civil engineering student for a paid summer
internship that could lead to full time employment after graduation.
Preferably the candidate would graduate By August 2013. We would like
someone who intends to focus on structural aspects of CE. Our firm is
primarily residential one and two story wood frame construction with our
primary focus as windstorm design and analysis, inspections and
certification.
During this internship the candidate will become familiar with building codes
(local and international), load analysis, general structural designs,
windstorm specifications, reinforcement of autocad functions, & practical
applications of structural concepts (beam and member sizing, shear and
moment calculations).
Courses that would be beneficial to have completed are statics, dynamics
and structures. If the candidate is very proficient in using AutoCAD, that
would be extremely beneficial. Familiarity is the only requirement. Concrete,
Steel, or any Capstone design courses are a plus. No prior professional
experience is required.
Please visit our website at www.aranfranklin.com for additional information
on our firm. Interested candidates should contact me at the below
email. Please attach a current resume with DIRECT contact information and I
will respond as quickly as possible to answer any direct inquiries, contact
via phone, or set up an interview.

civil engineering firms in the Houston and Dallas areas, and started TAC Engineering in 2007
with my CPA wife who is also an A&M grad.
We have tried to keep the business small and work out of our residence, and it has been
successful for the first few years. However recently business has picked up significantly, and we
need to find some help.
Do you have any students in mind that would be interested in a summer or fall internship with a
very small civil engineering firm in the Woodlands area? We specialize in site civil engineering
and most of our clients are commercial, industrial, and retail developers. While our projects
might not be as glamorous as a large firm, the hands on experience that we can offer will be very
beneficial to a student.
If you have any students in mind I would like to discuss the possibility of an internship. I can
forward you a more detailed job description and can give you references if you need. (See

Subject: Letter of Recommendation and Job Opportunity for Recent Graduate
Howdy Dr. Kohutek!
I am a former student of yours, graduating in December of 2011. I took your
Structures class last summer and your Steel design class last fall. I am
currently working in Houston at Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, designing large
diameter water pipelines. I am really enjoying working in pipelines, and learning
so much. I am emailing you to see if you know of any recent May graduates or
August graduates that need a job. LAN has an opening in our large diameter
pipeline group, and is looking for someone right out of college. I was asked a
few times this week if I knew anyone looking for a job, and I figured you might
have a good Aggie worth recommending. Below is a link to our opening, and if you
know of someone interested, they can send me their resume at
ammoon@lan-inc.com<mailto:ammoon@lan-inc.com> and I would be happy to make a
recommendation and do what I can.

Hi Dr. Lowery,
I hope this finds you enjoying your Friday afternoon!
The reason I am writing you is to pass on a bit of information to you for the
students. First, if the news hasn't reached the soon-to-graduate students, West
Texas is BOOMING! There are jobs in the area (less housing than jobs available,
<3% unemployment), and if they have a personal connection to the area, even
better! Personal connections go very far in friendly west Texas. I'd be happy to
start conversations as able. Also, I know Walter P. Moore is continuing to
interview and hire for most positions in infrastructure, so if students need an
internship now or a job soon, they should apply! I don't know how new graduates
are faring from A&M in terms of landing jobs, but I know the national stats sound
grim. I always try to pass on any information I have to help out!
As always, I am so grateful for the wonderful guidance and education I had while
at A&M, and I'll be happy to provide more information to anyone interested.
Thanks Dr. Lowery! Have a wonderful weekend!
Gig'em!

Hello Dr. Lowery I hope you are doing well, and that the heat isn't getting to you at A&M. We are
sweltering up here, especially our field techs on our construction jobs! I praise
the man who invented A/C every day!
We are going to need a fall intern this year. We really enjoyed having our spring
intern, Jonathan Fitzgerald, but he didn't get much meaningful field work due
to the combination of the rains this spring and two of our major projects
finishing up in February. We are sorry about that, because my husband was a
co-op student “back in the day” when he was in college, and we really believe in
the opportunities that internships and co-op experiences should provide. But
there's not much we can do about the weather (because if there were, we would
do it and our spring would not have been nearly as unprofitable!!!!).
However, we have two major projects scheduled for the fall that should offer an
opportunity for a lot of onsite experience for an intern (weather willing). If you
have any students (or recent graduates in engineering) who might be interested
in a fall position, would you please pass this along? The intern job description
can be found on our website, http://www.gmeconsult.com/career.html.
Thanks so much Marcia S. Kawalek, CEO
GME Consulting Services, Inc.
P.S. Just FYI, when I do an exit interview with our interns, I always ask them if
anything happened that they weren’t expecting or weren’t prepared for. They
almost always say they were surprised by the problems or issues that arose on
the project sites on a daily basis! I guess there is no substitute for on-the-job
experience for opening their eyes to the “real” world!

Dear Dr. Kohutek,

We’re looking for a civil engineer and technician (EIT), as well as a surveyor. I will be posting
an ad on Hire Aggies, but I wanted to connect with one or some of the civil engineering staff at
TAMU to see if they knew of a civil engineer former student looking for a position. The
position would be a general civil engineering and/or surveyor position, related to building
construction, roads, and land development.
I also wanted to explore setting up an internship type of program (paid). The office I am
in is in Williston, in the oil fields area of North Dakota. The position would either be for the
Williston office, or the Fargo office (main office). The civil engineers are in Fargo, but I would
expect that the candidate could easily work in Williston and get direction from Fargo.

Dr. Lowery,
I wondered if you might be able to share this with your students and former students that might
be in the job market. We listed the ideal candidate as someone with an EIT and several years’
experience, however, we are also interested in folks with less experience including new
graduates.
The real difficulty with this job is that there will not be lots of opportunity for design, but rather
more review of other engineer’s designs - not always an area young engineers want to be in
starting out.
Thanks for your help.

Dr. Lowery:
I had hoped to have visited with you in person on this matter. I still hope to do so, as my time
allows. I would like to make you aware that Brazos County recently advertised for a part-time
employee in our Road and Bridge Department.
I have attached the job description and a link to the advertisement which is posted on the County
Website:
https://txbrazoscounty.civicplus.com/Jobs.aspx?UniqueId=98&From=All&CommunityJobs=False&JobI
D=Engineering-tech-48
The application form is also at https://txbrazoscounty.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/Home/View/797
It can be emailed from the form itself, or to me directly at RAMunger@brazoscountytx.gov.
Qualified applicants only, please.
The perfect candidate would be at least a Senior level student who has previous intern experience
in land development or with Capital Improvement work. A large portion of their work will be
involved with reviewing plat and construction plan submittals, checking/verifying drainage
reports and perhaps some field inspection work involved with acceptance of roadways in land
developments.
I have 900 hours budgeted for the fiscal year (10/1/12 to 9/30/13). Salary and work hours would
be somewhat negotiable. Our work week is Monday – Thursday 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM and the
candidate’s hours would need to fall within that timeframe. The candidates will need to fill out
the County Application as a minimum – and a resume would certainly be helpful (to the
candidate and to me). The position is open until filled.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

All,
I am one of your former students asking a favor – our company is looking for a Co-Op student
for the January-August timeframe. Do you have anyone you can recommend who possesses a
strong background in structural dynamics (or a strong desire to learn)?
The work we typically do involves non-linear analysis, design, and experimental work (blast
testing of structural and non-structural components). The experimental work we do involves
both performance testing and research for a variety of commercial, industrial, and government
clients. The student would be involved with both office and lab work, depending on their desires
and our needs.
If you know or can recommend any interested students – have them send me their resume.
Thanks! We appreciate your help, and hope you are all doing well.
