Great Job Experience

Recommend

Pros

Great entry level job for Civil Engineering, Construction Mgmt, Geoengineering, any related careers. Excellent work experience. Training is provided by ECS for your certifications, lots of learning on the job, and a friendly work environment. Recommended for those who don't mind getting their hands (and car) dirty by working in construction fields and are self motivated to learn more about the construction process.

Cons

Provide your own transportation to construction sites (be mindful of possible damages to your car due to bad weather, debris on site, construction equipment, etc). Testing equipment can be burdensome at times (require a vehicle with plenty of trunk space) Be mindful of weather conditions, will need to work outside during weather conditions on either side of the spectrum (prepare yourself for cold/hot weather) May not get full 40 hour work week due to rainy/snow days

Great Career Opportunties

Pros

ECS provides a wealth of opportunities to its employees. It is one of the few engineering firms that allows junior engineers to participate in business development and client relationship activities as well as project management. ECS has a future leaders program that prepares its younger generation for leadership opportunities at the department, office, subsidiary and corporate levels. ECS is an employee owned firm that also has an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program). After two years of service, employees start becoming vested in the ESOP! At the same time, ECS offers a 401k match dollar for dollar up to 4% of the employee's compensation. In a time when most companies are cutting back on employee benefits, ECS continues to be generous.

Cons

This job isn't for everyone. The geotechnical and construction materials testing are tough industries. Time is money. Clients expect problems to be solved and progress made during construction. Summer work days can be long and hard. Engineers and scientists should not expect to sit at a desk all day. Those without Grit need not apply.
