We've had very good luck in the past with candidates from your list server. Would you mind sending the attached announcement out, please? Thanks again for your help! Thanks, Scott A. Brooks, P.E., CFM Yalgo, LLC and W & B Development, Ltd. (254) 953-5353, x-232 scott@yalgoengineering.com 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: Scott Brooks, P.E., C.F.M.

Thanks & Regards, John Faseler 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Regards, Gregg A. Freeby, P.E. Director Bridge Division Texas Department of Transportation Office Address: 118 E.

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.

As we discussed, we are a Prestressed/Precast Concrete Manufacture in the Houston area. We are currently seeking a candidate to fill our Quality Control Manager position. This position is responsible for managing QC personnel, interfacing with government and engineering inspection agencies, plant scheduling, and ensuring product conformance to specifications, among other duties. New or previous graduates are welcome. Should you require additional information, please feel free to contact me at anytime.

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.

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.

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! Elizabeth A. Oliver Class of '10 6/26/12 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!

Schultz Engineering, LLC 2730 Longmire, Suite A College Station, TX 77845 Office 979.764.3900 8/29/12 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.
