Greetings Greetings!
Spring is a time of change and growth. Here at Civiltec, we are enthused to be leaping into these themes. Our Phoenix office opened in January and Branch Manager Andrew Shroads, PE, CFM has been busy moving in. That's not the only moving our team has been doing. Our team participated in our 2nd annual health initiative, a three-week step challenge. In that time our employees led by each of our owners amassed 4,430,842 steps. Great stepping team! February came quickly with Engineer’s Week where we got together for team-building activities. With March, came any engineer's favorite holiday, National Pi Day, and our annual march madness bracket challenge. I was rooting for Alabama but David Nguyen an intern in Monrovia took the game with 660 points overall! We also celebrated industry holidays such as World Water Day and National Surveyors Week. March also included employee appreciation week with daily goodies for staff. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to our staff early in the year.
We heard from new employees Hao Liu, EIT, Ph.D., Desmin Fontaine, EIT, and Julie Padilla. Hao Liu, EIT, Ph.D. is a Staff Engineer out of our Monrovia office, he specializes in hydrology and hydraulics engineering and comes to Civiltec with over seven years of experience. Desmin Fontaine, EIT is a staff engineer in Peoria, AZ, and a recent graduate of NAU. Julie Padilla has joined our electrical team with Heber Torres, PE as his new electrical designer. We also had five years of service milestones from Michael Malcolm a designer/drafter in Fullerton, CA and Project Manager and Prescott Branch Manager Richard Aldridge, PE. It is thrilling to see our employees enjoy their time at Civiltec and continue to grow and help us reach new heights. A survey taken by our employees has also certified us as "A Great Place to Work" for the second year in a row! We are not the only ones thriving as a staff engineer in Phoenix, AZ is definitely soaring after passing her PE Exam. Congratulations to Brandi Tamura, PE.
In other news, we really took growth to heart this year and have opened a sixth office in Upland, California. This office will be managed by Octavio Solorza CSPEC, QSD/P a principal within our firm for over 35 years. Additionally, March 25th, 2023 marked the 37th anniversary of Civiltec. In celebration of this, we brought back our over 25-year-long traditional client and employee family-friendly celebration, "Day at the Races." The event featured a magician, face painting, a mini hobby horse race for the kids, great raffle prizes, exciting announcements from our leadership team, and live horse racing. Thanks for making another year of Civiltec history special.
