American Energy Works: Dustin
Mark Green
Posted August 1, 2012
When Dustin was nearing the end of his college career at Western Michigan, he had a leg up on a number of his classmates: He had a job waiting for him – thanks in part to the oil and natural gas industry. Today he’s an engineer with CB&I, a global engineering, procurement and construction firm that offers services to the energy and natural resources industries. He says the benefits package and moving to the Houston area were attractive, but mostly it was the promise of a job:
“I had a job before I graduated…It was a good feeling knowing the (job) security was there when I finished my degree.”
In this economy, the oil and natural gas industry – and associated businesses and industries it supports – is a bright light. The industry is growing, and it’s hiring – looking for the next generation of young professionals and potential leaders, like Dustin, to take it into the future. Check out the rest of Dustin’s video:
