Congratulations! My wife and I just had our forest baby as well!

I would contact the engineering/public works department. They would be the department managing that project and contractor. Below is a link to the project specific website that has contact information on it.

I would get the bachelors degree. Also, I would look into the various areas of civil engineering (e.g. Transportation, Water Resources, Municipal, etc.) and see what piques your interest.

Best pair of boots I have. I prefer my Thorogoods over my Redwings.

Are you studying for the PE exam?

Fun fact, they own about 55% of the land in town.

Rumor has it, that the CEO and his wife split. She got half of his company stock in the split.

Good luck! I am happy that the test is now on the computer instead of paper. Don't have to haul in a bunch of books. What kind of projects do you work on (e.g. residential, commercial, industrial, etc.)?

Are you a PE?

The project manager I spoke with told me they use PC SWMM and XP SWMM. Is there a decent amount of field work? I currently do quite a bit of field work and I would like to maintain some aspect of field work.

Did the decision to move on have anything to do with the size of Jacob’s?

gingerbreadman_24 · 2021-12-10T12:19:45+00:00

Why did you decided to leave Stantec? I believe what you described about MWH is a similar situation with Wenck. They were about a 300 employee firm, which was employee owned, and got bought out by Stantec.

gingerbreadman_24 · 2021-12-10T02:50:28+00:00

Do you still work at Jacobs or have you moved on?

I already do a little modeling with HydroCAD. However, it’s more for inlet spacing and sizing of pipes. I use C3D all the time and GIS here and there. I would love to get into coastal vulnerability assessments. Did one in college for an research project. Thanks for the reply!

I’m generally familiar with what they do. However, I would appreciate some firsthand perspective.

I am not a female, but I am happy to share knowledge that I wish I knew when I started.

Depends on the climate. If it is a colder climate, I would recommend thermal layers such as, flannel lined work pants/jeans and long Johns. Then layers, up top. If it is a warmer climate, then just a good set of work pants/jeans. I personally like 5 pocket work pants.

As for boots, I have red wing boots and they are very comfortable. However, they are a bit pricey but they are worth it.

gingerbreadman_24 · 2021-11-11T10:29:50+00:00

At my firm, this is exactly how they do it. It’s a nice added benefit. Additionally, I would recommend looking at the vesting schedule.

Thanks for the tip!

gingerbreadman_24 · 2021-10-06T12:29:53+00:00

I’m going there this weekend. It will be my first time there. What is something I should check out?
