I know we had a project Manager position open, but I'm not sure if its been filled yet or not. We're also in Chapel Hill so I don't know if its something you're interested in.
Pm me if you want more info. 8/11/2006 8:48:44 AM |

One of my friends got on with Centex a couple of months ago. I'm sure those big builders are always hiring, so hit up their websites. 8/11/2006 5:10:18 PM |

Go to http://www.acec.org log in as a guest and look at their membership directory. Then cold call any companies that look interesting. A lot of AE firms and general contractors are in a growth phase right now and if you show up at their door with the right skills, they may be willing to add the extra position they've been contemplating. A lot of places are too small to actively recruit, so its well worth contacting them directly. 8/11/2006 8:41:00 PM |

i worked commercial and industrial construction as a journeyman electrician for several years before getting my engineering degree.
then i worked about a year as an engineer on a large hospital construction project, before moving into scientific instrumentation design.
here is my one piece of advice:
get some real, hands-on experience with a General Contractor as soon as possible.
i mean get dirty. actually do some work. you will significantly gain respect with both the tradesmen you will eventually be managing, and your colleagues in the industry, if you have any amount of real experience.
look in the phone book, and find the GCs in your area, large or small, and go tell them your background, your lack of real experience, and your ultimate goal, and that you want to get some field experience.
youll find that the GC firms will really be into helping you out.
try and find a GC who is also an electrical and/or mechanical contractor as well. or an electrical or mechanical contractor who can bid single prime contracts.
do this for about a year, and between the experience you get and the contacts you will make in the industry, and you'll be set. 8/12/2006 3:11:52 PM |
