A message from Nit Tapia, Project Manager for the Whiting-Turner Contracting company,


In order for me to help your chapter I will need for your chapter members, who are interested in applying for a full-time position or internship with Whiting-Turner, to email me their resumes.  We will evaluate the resumes and pass them along to our recruiters if I see that the individual is a good fit.  I understand that 10/01/20 is right around the corner so if your members cannot get me a resume in time, regardless, please be sure to stop by the Whiting-Turner virtual booth at the career fair and/or sign up for an interview.

 

Whiting-Turner predominantly hires engineers to manage construction projects throughout the United States.  Out of college, we typically hire Civil Engineers and/or Construction Management majors however there are exceptions.  For example, I am an Electrical Engineer major (graduated from Manhattan College) and I was offered a full-time position by Whiting-Turner after my internship, with Whiting-Turner, the summer of my junior year.  At the end of the day, if you are passionate about construction and building, Whiting-Turner would be a great fit.  For more information regarding our company please click here.
