• A guaranteed reserved spot on our best dodgeball team When it comes to having fun, we dont mess around at our annual dodgeball tournament. If youre up for the challenge, youll be dodging, ducking, dipping and diving in no time. Oh, and maybe scarfing down a few asada tacos in between games.
• Site Visits Even though youll be placed on one of our engineering, planning, architecture, water or survey teams, you will have an opportunity to get a deep dive into multiple projects completed by other teams in the company. Youll start out by meeting the project manager, seeing finished plan sets, meeting any support departments or divisions that helped along the way and finish off with touring the actual job site.

Instead, well give you real world experience like CAD skills, drafting capabilities, and project exposure in your assigned market sector. That way whether you stay with us, or find an opportunity elsewhere, your resume is bolstered with experience that employers care about, setting you apart from your fellow classmates.
