Job Market-NC-Winston salem, Greensboro, Highpoint

Try your State Enviornmental Agency. You will get a good education in the regulatory process and get to look at a broad array of operations. Both will help you decide where to go look for a career.

Take a look at the GSA, you just might get employed based on your military past and civilian present positions. Sense you are committed to that area, [and it is a nice area] I suggest you first get employed and then watch for opportunities to become available.

The United States Naval Civil Engineer Corps was a darned good place for me. See your Navy Recruiter. They have openings in construction, facilities maintenance, and contract management. Yes you have to wear a uniform, get up in the morning and say nasty things like sir, but you will have to do those things in a civilian job too. You will gain 10 times the experience as a Navy CEC officer in two years than you will get in the civilian market in 10 years. Google Navy Civil Engineer Corps for more information. (By the way oohrah Seabees)

Take a look at the Army Corp. Of Engineers, no lay offs.

I have done 6 years in the Army as an enlisted soldier already, I really don't feel like getting back in to the military. Any other suggestions?

You seemed focused on living in the PTL, or GSO area.

I have lived and worked for a good chunk of my life in that area.

There are two ways to move. Go to the place you want to live, and get any job you can, or get a job somewhere, or there, and then move there.

Bottom line is: Live Where You Have a Job.

Since you want to live in Winston Salem, or Greensboro, or High Point, it may be best for you to simply commit to living there, and go see all the Architects who need you.

I did end up working a good deal in the construction trades, and am aware that many designers and architects hire engineers to enable concretely their designs.

The nice position that an engineer has as far as work is concerned, is that many architects may well use the same engineer.

The infrastructure of Greensboro, Winston Salem, and High Point, is right good, but the entire area has real limits related to how much water is available.

As a functioning Port, it is very dependent on Highway 40, and its airport PTL.

If you are good, and smart and want to live in PTL, I suggest you get an office of your own at PTL, or close to it so you are not dependent entirely on local work.

How your skills would translate to maximizing the water for the area are, and will be in demand for that area for as long as people live, and multiply there.

Certainly the land between Winston Salem and Raleigh is superior in the world coming from a number of factors of which the stability of the land, plus the blessings of the weather, obviate some cultural and political downsides.
