Subject: Job Opening at College Station firm
Dr. Lowery,
A couple of years ago I sent an e-mail to you asking if there were any current or former students who might be interested in a job that I had. I was impressed by the response I received. I am once again writing with the same question and request that you forward this to people who are seeking work in this area.
I have an opening for a full-time engineer or draftsman to help with land development projects in College Station, specifically residential subdivisions. Work will involve the design of all infrastructure associated with these projects including streets, drainage, water and wastewater systems. I am looking for someone who has recently graduated or will do so in the very near future. It is imperative that applicants have experience with a current version of AutoCAD (2010 or newer) so I am open to hiring non-engineers as well. There is little or no travel involved as virtually all of our work is in College Station. Salary will depend on the qualifications of the selected candidate.

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:

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.

Subject: Lime Recruitment- Brisbane Australia
Good Afternoon,
I am contacting you from Lime Recruitment in Brisbane, Australia. I work closely with Cassandra Manthey, the Mining Director here who recruits for the major coal miners in Queensland, Australia for roles such as Technical Services Managers, Mine Managers, Mine Engineers, Production Geologists, Short/Medium/ Long term Mine Planning Engineers, Drill and Blast Engineers, etc
I have come across your details on data.com and wanted to contact you directly as we are currently recruiting several engineering roles with top tier coal mining companies in Queensland Australia and I wanted to see if you would be interested in sending me your CV to see if your experience matches what we require in the roles on offer? Ideally candidates will have previous experience working in the coal mining industry.
To give you an idea the senior level roles we are currently working on include a Technical Services Manager, Mine Manager, Principal Mining Engineer, and Senior Mine Engineer for the projects team of a top tier coal miner, based in the Brisbane head office. The company in question has consistently been a high performing miner both internationally and in the Australian mining environment demonstrating a 60% productivity improvement across their impressive portfolio of underground and open cut mines. 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.
