Add-A-VETERAN Hiring Event

Be a Hero and Hire a Hero

 

Veterans have served our nation and defended our liberties, they deserve an opportunity to be considered for open positions. At the American Job Center’s no cost Add-A-VETERAN Hiring Event veterans will have this very opportunity, to meet with many ready to hire employers. Veterans are invited to join the American Job Center for the Add-A-VETERAN Hiring Event on Thursday, November 13, 2014 from 9:00am – 11:30am at Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, 4005 Kipling Street in Wheat Ridge. 

All registered veterans and their spouses will be provided a list of positions that are open from each company in attendance. Veterans will be given the opportunity to target their resumes and conduct research on the businesses in advance of this event. If you are a veteran or a spouse of a veteran and would like to attend, register at http://conta.cc/1o3SUKa.   

This event also provides businesses a chance to meet with, review qualifications of, and speak directly to numerous highly qualified applicants who are veterans. Why hire a veteran? Veterans come into the civilian workforce with backgrounds in leadership, team building, and digital literacy; they are extremely goal oriented, and can focus on the immediate task at hand as well as the big picture. Employers will have the opportunity to schedule additional time with qualified candidates to interview and fill current vacancies. An employer who attended this same event in June states, “The preparedness and caliber of the participants was extraordinary!” All businesses are invited to attend. If you are an employer interested in being part of this event, please register at http://conta.cc/1rhcQ6V. 

For more information on this event please contact Tim Galloway at tgallowa@jeffco.us or call 303.271.4800.

WP-AOG Repair, Maintenance and Minor Construction Manager

The West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is dedicated to furthering the ideals and promoting the welfare of the United States Military Academy (USMA), and to supporting and serving its graduates.  USMA is renowned as one of the world's preeminent leadership development institutions.  The student body, or Corps of Cadets, numbers 4,400 and each year approximately 1,000 cadets graduate and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army. 

WPAOG is seeking a Repair, Maintenance and Minor Construction Manager. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the incumbent is responsible for managing the repair, maintenance and renovation of minor construction projects. These projects support the facilities and monuments gifted to The United States Military Academy (USMA) by WPAOG as well as WPAOG owned facilities.

The construction manager would conduct inspections of all USMA gift-funded facilities and monuments, at least annually, to identify maintenance and repair needs and would do the same for WPAOG at Herbert Hall (approximately 20% of the time). He/she would develop long term maintenance and repair plans and would coordinate these activities with various USMA personnel.  The construction manager would also work closely with finance to determine project funding availability and prepare all paperwork required spanning from project initiation to completion as well as preparing requests for proposals (RFPs).  Additionally, the construction manager would manage all schedules, meetings and budgets associated with the projects.  The construction manager is responsible for reviewing plans and specifications during the design phase for constructability and cost effectiveness.
