I am writing to let you know about specific employment opportunities for recent or upcoming graduates of URI. I am a Senior Engineer for the Marine Division of McLaren Engineering in West Nyack, NY (about 25 miles from NYC), where we design coastal and waterfront structures, shoreline rehabilitation, and marina layouts. We also perform above-water and underwater inspections of existing marine facilities, and design rehabilitation and maintenance programs for these facilities. Right now, the Marine Division could use 1-2 additional Junior Engineers, preferably having, or on their way to obtaining, their EIT. Full-time positions are also available for engineer divers, who perform underwater inspections of existing waterfront structures. I would welcome any resumes from students and graduates of the Ocean Engineering department, and would be happy to talk with anyone interested in employment here, or just interested in an engineering career in general. A given project may involve structural analysis, statistical analysis, wind & wave analysis, energy absorption analysis, geotechnical analysis, environmental assessment and permitting, field inspections, underwater inspections, and of course, communicating with clients, sub-consultants, and contractors. Projects I am working on right now are in Boston, Bridgeport, Mystic, New York City, and the Lower Hudson Valley. While we work primarily around New York and New England, our division has done work around the country and internationally. McLaren Engineering is also involved in community outreach, including holding continuing education seminars at our offices, and involvement in the yearly engineering EXPO to introduce and promote the profession to young students. McLaren Engineering group has a number of divisions: Marine, Structural, Civil, Bridge, Forensics, and Entertainment, and has satellite offices in Baltimore and Florida. The company often hires recent graduates, and we welcome resumes for graduates interested in any of our divisions. Other posted positions have been included below (most of which are for more experienced engineers), however we are always interested in talking with engineers and future engineers about their careers. Thank you for offering to forward this the the students of the Ocean Engineering Department at URI. Anyone interested may contact me at rgilbert@mgmclaren.com or by phone, 845-353-6400.
