If you are seeking these types of candidates\, please contact us!\nWe may need to limit employers specifically recruiting for civil engineering and construction engineering and management technology due to not having the enrollment to support a large number of employer attendees for this industry.\nThis event is not open to third-party recruiting firms (unless approved by Career Center staff).\nPlease note table linens/coverings are NOT provided. You are welcome to bring your own.
