What Interns Have Said About F&V

After graduation from college, I wanted to find a job that would allow me to expand my knowledge in the environmental/biological field and had an employee-first mentality. FVOP looked like a perfect match, and I have not been disappointed. From day-one, they have continually created opportunities for my career growth by helping me learn and develop new skills through mentoring, training, seminars, and hands-on job experience. The professionals who work at FVOP have guided me, pushed me, and, at the same time, created a family environment that is a joy to be a part of. Knowing that my health, wellbeing, and my development within an organization truly matters, reaffirmed that I had chosen the best company with an employee-first mentality.

FVOP provided me a unique opportunity to land employment, and then invested in me and allowed me to secure my wastewater license. While FVOP may not be unique in providing these benefits, they are the first employer that has made me feel welcomed, appreciated, supported, and encouraged me to advance my career. I have grown a lot as an operator in just two years thanks to FVOP’s mentoring program.

Starting my career with FVOP was one of the best decisions I have made in my professional career. Through my time in FVOP, I learned first hand what makes a good design and what makes a bad design. I now use this experience everyday while working on designs for F&V and I strive to make my designs as practical as possible for the people that have to operate the plant. My time in FVOP has been invaluable and has helped shape the engineer I am today.

Interning with F&V allowed me to be involved in many aspects of the engineering project process. All of the employees were enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge and expertise. I was surprised by how quickly I felt a part of the F&V community, in part due to the kickball team. Everyone was so welcoming.
