University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Master of Architecture
"I worked at a couple of design firms before working here. During those internships, my favorite part was the on-site work, but usually, that was a small fraction of my time. Typically, I would have one project and redo designs every other week. I interned at WJE and loved the fast-paced environment of working on multiple projects, including being able to spend half of my time on-site."Watch this video where Gloria discusses her specific work experiences.

"Before joining WJE, I was seeking an employee-owned company that was run with transparency. WJE has continuously high standards that do not waver with increased workloads. And, while many traditional design and engineering firms push individuals to develop specialized knowledge in singular markets, WJE's variety of projects and practice areas have allowed me to pursue my many interests and passions."University of South Carolina, Master of Science, Civil Engineering
University of South Carolina, Doctor of Philosophy, Civil Engineering
"What attracted me most to WJE was the unwavering commitment of senior staff members to knowledge sharing and mentoring of younger staff. The learning opportunities offered by the diverse and interesting projects make every day an enjoyable experience. As a leader in the field, WJE offers tremendous opportunities for career growth, unmatched by any other firm."University of Manitoba, Master of Science, Structural Engineering
The University of Texas at Austin, Doctor of Philosophy, Structural Engineering
"One of my favorite aspects of working at WJE is the variety of technical challenges on our projects. Some great advice I received is to engage the 'WJE network,' both the people and the Portal (WJE's intranet), to help find solutions to new technical challenges that I may not have encountered before."Virginia Tech, Master of Science, Civil Engineering
"WJE allows its employees to pursue their passions and interests while providing them with the opportunity to experience things they might not have known about. I think this motivates everyone to find something they're truly passionate about and enjoy the work that they do. I've had the opportunity to become more than just a book-smart engineer. I'm in the field performing anchor shear tests one day and designing the next. I love the variety of work I do. I really feel like I'm gaining well-rounded work experience."Missouri University of Science and Technology, Master of Science, Civil Engineering
Missouri University of Science and Technology, Doctor of Philosophy, Civil Engineering
"I decided to join WJE due to a desire for a career in the kinds of problem solving for which the company is known and have found that WJE is different than other A/E/C firms. The staff is full of people with outstanding character, unwavering commitment, strong expertise, and genuine enthusiasm—complemented by in-house laboratory and field testing capabilities that most other firms do not possess."
