Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Neither do I! Eric's company has been on the search for a variety of engineers for a long long time. They're now offering a pretty substantial referral bonus to employees who help fill certain positions.
If you know of any civil or electrical (power) engineers in California/Oregon, Eric would love to hear from them. He needs a new bike.
* Most Wanted

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Not unemployed, and why would I leave the midwest this time of year? Sounds like there's an imbalance in the whole supply/demand thang we learned in econ. For the right price, the company could probably find what they're after. |

Although I keep seeing job postings for other engineering firms in the area as well. Lots of openings, lots of work, not enough people. |

I need to hire three junior engineers but they all seem to get snapped up by the oil companies out here. |

I think part of the problem here is that so many EE students specialize in processors, rather than construction.
Aside from the bonus, I'd like them to hire a couple of people in his dept so he's not working 60 hours anymore. |

I didn't even know they had a San Jose office, which makes me think it's really really small. They also have a SF office, which is pretty decent sized -- mean, big enough to have a marketing dept and admins. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My hubby is a Civil by education. Because there were NO Engineering jobs available when he graduated (in 94) he went into business management. There are a ton of great engineers in the Greenville/Spartanburg, SC area, as well as in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC. I'm pretty sure there are a lot looking for jobs. There is not a huge amount of postings here to correspond to the number graduating each year. I would tell him to get with the Clemson Alumni Association- on the Clemson dot edu website. There are a wealth of engineers that may be looking for a move out west. I'm sure NC State also has a similar reach. And Georgia Tech graduates a lot of engineers every year, too. I'm sure you're not looking for newbies out of college, but a lot of folks tend to reside close to where they graduated.... |

But I'll certainly let him know to check on graduates from other areas. |

I am willing to relocate too. I dunno. Send me an email and I'll forward it to Eric. They do construction consulting and design work. Right now, he's working on a retro-fit project. He's also working on a water treatment plant project and various parking structures and maybe a school. But those are just the projects I hear about coming through the electrical dept. They have civil and environmental folks there too. And probably a mechanical or two.

Sensei ![]() | ![]() I couldn't find a company name. I'm a senior civil engineer project manager with 15 year experience. My company went through some downsizing a couple months back, and instead of transfering back to the midwest, I choose to get laid off. I just started a new gig about a month ago here in Vegas. But I'm looking to go out west. Edit to add: I don't have a CA P.E., but have one for NV and CO. Probably can get one for Oregon by reciprocity. I would have to take the siesmic for CA. Anything I can look at online? Edited by Aikidoman 2008-02-07 5:31 PM |

Do you really want to stoop to that level? ![]() I'm a chemist too, and we tend to have a friendly little rivalry with the engineers. But I will admit, it's a great time to be an engineer. Lots of opportunities, good money, pretty good job security... |
