The company I work for in Atlanta has been bought out and I'm looking to get back to Kansas City. I've already got an interview at *name removed* but if you know any place looking for an engineer I would really appreciate the info. I have a degree in mechanical engineering from MU and I am currently working as an environmental engineer.

Thanks!
Travis

 

I'm sure the corporate soulless entity is hiring...
Black and Veatch

 

Garmin is always hiring. www.garmin.com Its a great place to work...

 

Are you currently consulting?Do you have your PE? You've got an ME degree and you say your are in Enviro; is that what you want to do?

CRB has been trying to beef up it's pharma program, but they don't want to pay what good pharma engineers are worth, IMHO. I moved up here in 2006 to take another job after getting an offer at CRB and they haven't stopped calling yet. If you have any sanitary process experience that can translate to the pharma (sanitary piping, welding, system design, best practices, etc), let me know and I'll get you in touch with the HR director.

I had an inside track at B&M but was unimpressed with them. From my recollection, you toil for the long term and hope your options/profit sharing package to pay out. I hear you can make good money with them, but it's not a short term investment.

B&V is always a possibility, but I don't have any real experience with them other than some cursory pharma project stuff several years ago.

Garmin is nearby and headquartered here. Honeywell does non-nuke parts for nuclear weapons (requires top secret clearance, I believe). Have you done all the typical checking on Careerbuilder, the KC Star and the big job boards? I don't put much stock in them (about 10% of jobs are landed from an online contact), but they can start giving you some leads.

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the replies...

I've applied to Black and Veatch but can't get more than an automated e-mail response....which says they are only considering local candidates and did not budget relocation. If they would read the cover letter it says I don't need relocation since I'm moving back to a city where my family and friends are...

Thanks, I forgot about Garmin. One more place for me to start applying...


I'm not consulting, I work for a very large food production company. I have 2.5 years under a PE so I can test for a PE soon. I don't know how that works if I move to Missouri and the PE's where licensed in Georgia. I enjoy both mechanical and environmental so I could go either way. I was the division engineer at the plant level before I went to the corporate office for environmental. So I do have some sanitary type engineering experience from working in a food production plant...

I don't think the online sites really work...that's mainly why I was asking here. Hoping I could get HR contacts instead of just e-mail addresses and websites...

Thanks, e-mail sent. You can edit and take your e-mail address down now if you want.

 

Henderson Engineering is a good company that has been growing and a possiblility. They do Commercial Building MEP. A lot of building going on now so looking for a job now is good timing.

 

Have you moved back to KC yet? I noticed this morning when I left the gym (Planet Fitness) that there was an S2000 in the parking lot with Georgia tags. I think it was white, but it could have been silver. Is it you?
