Hi, my name is William, here goes a short synopsis of my career at Georgia Department of Transportation so far! 

 I grew up in Wade, NC which is near Fayetteville.  I graduated from Fayetteville Technical Community College in May of 2003.  I started with Georgia Department of Transportation working in the District 3 Design Office as a Civil Engineering Technologist on July 1, 2003.  I was promoted to Design Engineer 1 on April 16, 2004.  Georgia Department of Transportation  has sent me to several classes so far.  They are:  Plan Development Process, Introduction to Highway Hydraulics, Culvert Design, Beginners Caice, and Worksite Erosion Control Supervisor Certification.  I am scheduled to take Urban Drainage Design and Roadside Design in May and July respectively.

 
My job is basically to design roadway projects including everything from horizontal and vertical alignments to drainage and erosion control.  I also oversee consultant projects as well.  So far I have finished a set of plans for a State-Aid Project and worked on a Federal-Aid project extensively.  There are six consultant projects that I have assigned to me right now as well.
 
For the students of Fayetteville Technical Community College  I recommend considering a career with Georgia Department of Transportation  if they don't mind the move.  I have learned a great deal in my first 10 months here with Georgia Department of Transportation .  I was hesitant to make the move at first and wanted to go back home after about two months, but I stuck it out, and now I don't regret a thing!  Georgia Department of Transportation  offers a variety of jobs, and a variety of locations to choose from.  So if you are a city slicker or a good ol' boy like me, you can find a good place to work with Georgia Department of Transportation .  Good luck to all Fayetteville Technical Community College students, and say hey to Mr. Hayes and "The Gilmanizer" for me!
