Survey Technician Opportunities in Omaha and Kansas City

PreviousPage 2 of 2

To be fair, I was just pointing out that they didnt mention safety, and as other pointed out kind of set the tone of how things are, discipline, perfection etc.

Every business's goal is solely to make money. How you make it, and how you use or utilize your talent or warm bodies is a cultural thing within the company.

This is a great job for someone who has an adequate set of skills to work within their parameters and can afford the time and the lifestyle.

I've done it. It's great experience, to a level of limitations that you decided upon when you applied to the job.

That's why we work until we find those limits, and seek out other than current to progress on to the next level.

Carry on.

Every business must make at least some money to sustain itself, but that isn't necessarily its primary goal, and it is rarely the sole goal.

I'm quoting from the old engineering school book "The Goal", and understood that the concept is the idea there.

it's a complex debate.

wrong guy.

Eliyahu M. Goldratt is the writer I was referring to.

 

To be honest, I have met several of their employees over the years and found them to be solid surveyors.  They do good work.  My problem was with the tone of this form of recruitment.  it causes you to believe you will be working solo in whatever environment and location you are needed.  I would not sign up for that.  Also, if this is what they are seeking, then they should be advertising for a PLS, period.

Even more important is scheduling.  That is the biggest advantage of having in house surveying for a civil engineering firm.

Their job description sounds like it was written by the HR department which usually doesnƒ??t have a clue about the technical aspects of the position being filled. But that is no reason to not apply. ???? 

Iƒ??m sure theyƒ??ll have better luck than me finding good help. Itƒ??s a super tight job market around here. Anyone worthwhile around here is already working and when I tell someone they can expect to be working 50-60 hours a week through the end of fall, oddly enough, they donƒ??t seem interested.

@williwaw I would love to work in Alaska! But that would be a long drive to Grandma's house for the kiddos.

agree 100%
