November 1st, 2003

ATLANTA, GEORGIA - Judges for the third annual CE News "Best Civil Engineering Firms To Work For" Contest chose Mid-Valley Engineering, a Modesto-based land planning, engineering and surveying company, among the top 50 engineering firms to work for in the nation.

Ranked 31 out of 50, Mid-Valley Engineering has completed over 5,000 projects since its inception in 1969. The firm specializes in urban land planning, civil design, surveying and public utility improvements for a multitude of public and private projects throughout California.

Kirk DeLaMare, Mid-Valley Engineering company owner and president said: "We make a special effort to attract and maintain quality, well-trained and experienced team members. To accomplish this, we go the extra mile to be sure team members are comfortable and satisfied with their work environment."

ABOUT THE CONTEST

Shanon Fauerbach P.E., editorial director of CE News said, "this year, the stakes were higher than ever, as the level of competition has never been so fierce. With 63 firms entering for the first time, the pool of competitors was vastly different from the 2002 pool."

This contest was developed by CE News to provide readers with a meaningful ranking concerning human resource issues in the civil engineering industry, as well as to assist firms in their recruiting and retaining activities.

Fauerbach said, "The honored firms are living up to the legacy of this contest, which is to raise the bar of the civil engineering workplace. Originally, we initiated the contest to celebrate success and provide meaningful recognition that could aid in staff recruitment and retainment initiatives - challenging firms to improve, and seeing them actually do so, is a wonderful and unforeseen outcome of this program. We applaud the hard-working staff members at all participating firms, especially those who have improved the work environments, culture, benefits, and the other important elements of a top-notch workplace."

Those firms honored as the top 50 firms in the October issue of CE News hold a valuable distinction that will allow them to gain recognition from potential employee candidates and will help them to retain current employees.

Since 1969, Mid-Valley Engineering has been dedicated to providing quality engineering and related services on time and within budget. The company is committed to achieving creative, innovative and professional solutions that are responsive to its clients needs.
