Make sure that on your cover letter you write, "Fluor Daniel."

No, put FLUOR.

I work in the engineering consulting industry, and have heard that both Fluor and Colt are decent companies to work for. Someone mentioned that smaller companies are better to work for, which is true in my opinion. If you work hard and learn quickly a smaller firm is more likely to move you up quickly, whereas larger firms tend to rely much more on formulas that include years of experience, etc. for promotions.

What company is it that you work for?

I've been with Stantec for close to 10 years. What discipline? I hear varyig opinions based on field of work etc.

I just went to Flour yesterday cause they had a job fair there, it was quite crowded, alot of Uni and SAIT students. My parents are engineers, my mom has been working for Fluor ever since I can remember, she was able to work over at Houston office as well and says that it was a pretty rewarding experience. It's definetely a decent company to work for

I heard that it was targetted at people that have been in the industry for awhile, 5, 10, 15 years plus experience. They were also at the career fair at the U of C

That reminds me of the Oil & Gas Expo earlier this year. The first day was wicked, you could go chat it up with HR honeys from all the big companies. Then once they mentioned the show on the news that night, the 2nd and 3rd days were a gong show. Impossible to get parking and the career booths devolved into a sea of immigrants fresh off the boat waving around resumes screaming "YOU GIVE ME JOB! BIG MONEY!!," at the HR people. Their eyes just glazed over and they just said "apply to the website" "apply to the website". You could have asked them if they would like $1 million cash and they'd say "apply to the website"!!!

I work at FLuor and i think i put Fluor on my resume :P, I work in electrical, it not too bad although I do do the same thing all the time for the last 2 months, i feel under used however i have lots of free time due to being organized and getting my stuff done quickly, I got hired 4 months prior to graduating from SAIT. There are many benefits of working for this company,

1) They use industry standard programs you get lots of training
2) They have multiple company functions where you get food and booze
3) I seriously purchase lunch about 2 times a week they have these lunch and learns where vendors tell you things and you get to chow down.
4) good people to learn and work with.
5) I've been told the technologist/engineer gap is usually results in mistreatment however it is fairly good here.
6) The pay is decent

The worst thing is no recongnition for the things you do. everything goes unnoticed, then again im on a 2 year 800 mIllion dollar project.


NUFY where do you work, I want into PLC very badly.

LOL hell no it's only going to get worse before it gets better, Im focusing on putting my turbo on it before paint. What do you drive there is some damn nice cars in the parking lot i feel faily ghetto, but my roots are NE so no problem.

Although it great i have a co worker who has a ex police car caprice and he was completely shocked at how hard my car pulls compared to his.
