Dr. Lowery,


This email follows up a phone conversation we had late last week.  During the call we discussed several available positions at HMT.  The positions we need to fill (and the experience levels desired) are listed below:


  • Project/Design Engineer (Position 1):  We are looking for a structural engineer with several years of experience in the structural steel (or better yet structural aluminum) industry.  In this position, the engineer will design aluminum geodesic domes, aluminum trusses, aluminum internal floating roofs, and many other unique aluminum structures.  The engineer will work closely with a detailer to develop submittal drawings, fabrication drawings, and construction drawings.  Experience in the petrochemical market and detailing/drafting experience is highly desirable.




  • Project/Design Engineer (Position 2):  We are looking for a graduating (BS, ME, MS) structural engineer with a desire to enter a unique market.  The graduate will be mentored by a more experienced engineer, but will be called upon immediately to perform production engineering.  In this position, the engineer will design aluminum geodesic domes, aluminum trusses, aluminum internal floating roofs, and many other unique aluminum structures.  The engineer will work closely with a detailer to develop submittal drawings, fabrication drawings, and construction drawings.  Experience in the petrochemical market and detailing/drafting experience is highly desirable.




  • Project/Design Engineer (Position 3):  We are looking for a graduating (BS, ME, MS) structural engineer with a desire to enter a unique market.  The graduate will be mentored by a more experienced engineer, but will be called upon immediately to perform engineering work.  In this position, the engineer will design new and oversee modifications to existing carbon steel petroleum storage tanks.  The engineer will work closely with a detailer to develop submittal drawings, fabrication drawings, and construction drawings.  Experience in the petrochemical market and detailing/drafting experience is highly desirable.

  • Intern (Position 4):  We are looking for a highly motivated engineering student with strong AutoCAD skills to modify/update standard part drawings.  The position will last the duration of the summer. 

All the above jobs are based in Tomball Texas.


Potential applicants can go to http://www.hmttank.com/ to learn more about the company. Then click on careers and submit resume.
                -Feel free to delete this next part prior to forwarding or posting this email.  I wanted to make you aware of the following in case you had a specific person in mind.:

The structural aluminum market is relatively young and rapidly growing.  An engineer in this position would be able to gain valuable design experience starting day 1.  A highly intelligent, ambitious person in this position would have the potential to quickly gain recognition and advance within the organization.  The opportunities available right now are unique and exciting.

Howdy,
HDR is looking to bring on an EIT in our Austin bridge section this June.  I thought I would check in with you to see if you have any students who either graduated this last December or will graduate this May that you feel would be good candidates.

Our group is very dynamic and fast paced. We are often overloaded and working on multiple projects at any one time. Therefore the individual would need to be able to rapidly change direction/focus and really needs to be a self-motivator.


Preferred course work would include: Advanced Concrete Design, Advanced Steel Design, Prestressed Concrete Design, etc.
Please have any students you feel would be a good fit, please have them email me their resume.
Thank you for your time.

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.

Professor Lowery,


I wanted to check in with you to see if there are any current/former students that may be looking for employment.  I realize that graduation has just passed, but we are in immediate need of some folks to help out our offices across the state not just in San Antonio. If there are any names or resumes you have available, we would be happy to make contact with those folks.  Thanks for reaching out to us and we look forward to hiring some Aggies!!
Attached is our company resume and it has available positions on the website.  I can expedite the search if you would prefer to send resumes directly to me.  Thanks and have a great day.

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.
Thanks,
Travis

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.


  1. We primarily recruit civil engineering students but there are also limited slots for architecture and accounting.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 5-10yr 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.


Sincerely,
Blake Silva

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.
Thank you so much for your time, effort, and consideration.

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 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.

Dr. Lowery,
My name is John Travis Baker and I am a civil grad from A&M (May 1997).  I worked for a few 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 below.)
Please let me know your thoughts, and thank you very much for your time.

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 and I would be happy to make a recommendation and do what I can.
