Brandon comes across Southern Earth Sciences, a geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental consulting firm with offices across the South. While it’s not a massive, flashy firm, Southern Earth Sciences provides the opportunity for a set career path and longevity.
The average current company employment length is 10 years, and over 25% of employees have 15+ years of service. Several of their engineers were hired straight out of college and now have 20+ years of service. Three of their executive-level leaders were all hired straight out of college.
SES offers young professionals experience with the ability to train closely with experienced professionals. They provide reliability with a long-standing well-established firm, and flexibility to move about the various offices to gain new experience and grow along with the company. They also encourage and reward obtaining and maintaining professional certifications and licenses.
For Brandon, they checked all of the boxes:
They’re big enough to be stable but not so big that he would be a small fish.
They would allow him to train directly with experienced pros.
They would not only allow him to grow, but they would also encourage it.
Brandon applied with Southern Earth Sciences, and after chatting with the team there and learning how they’ve enjoyed the stability, growth, and flexibility SES provides, Brandon joined the SES team. Today, Brandon is celebrating his 13th year with the company, and he couldn’t be happier with his decision.
You can have a fulfilling professional life, financial stability, and a great work/life balance. Imagine celebrating 25, 30, 35, 50 years with SES and celebrating the growth you and the company have achieved along the way. That future beats being a small fish in a big pond, another cog in the wheel with a company that doesn’t know you and doesn’t care.
75% of professional engineers who train with SES and end up choosing a big, flashy engineering firm end up coming back to SES. Choose your future wisely.
