Downtime and Maintenance

I’ve been fighting with spammers in a kind of band-aid approach over the past few months and it’s time to get a bit more serious. Calling this site erratic over the next few days would probably be kind.

Please bear with me as I do a rip and replace on the blog infrastructure and we should be good to go by Monday. Hope you had a restful holiday season, and are ready to go into a great new year!

Job Openings – Civil

Just a shout out to the crowd that we have a customer with positions available in Chicago (2) and Dallas (1).  If their business sector seems to mesh with your skill set, you are looking for work, and you live in one of these great cities please email your resumes to info@eng-eff.com and we’ll pass them along.  The firm has asked us to recommend folks that we can hopefully vouch for directly or indirectly through trusted colleagues, so on your cover letter please include any references of note that we can follow up with.  Here is the general overview of the department with open positions:

Roads, bridges, tunnels, dams and other civil engineering feats are taken for granted by many. Given that the amount of engineering and construction work that is necessary to design and develop such projects is enormous, opportunities for mistakes and accidents abound.

When civil engineering projects are damaged because of accident, failure or natural disaster, complex technical issues must be considered and the immediate concern for life and safety is paramount. At the same time, any evidence that helps identify the cause of the failure must be carefully documented and preserved.

Our civil engineering experts specialize in the investigation of complex structural failures and other accidents. Working with other forensic experts from various disciplines, our civil engineers are able to quickly and cost-effectively determine the cause and extent of:

Structural Collapses

Materials Failures

Subsidence, Sinkholes and Geotechnical Incidents

Roofing System Failures

If this is up your alley they would like to get you some additional detail about the exact job description as well as consider you for immediate employment.

I absolutely hate going into this dialog, so when I do, I always struggle to click in the right places. Thanks to Seth over at Being Civil: Part Builder: How To Add Custom Part Sizes I can breathe a bit easier.
