AG&E is the nation's largest structural engineering firm focused on data centers.
Founded in 2004, we are headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with 11 offices across the United States and internationally, including locations in Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Brazil, and India. With decades of combined experience, supported by subject matter experts and specialists, we work on complex mission critical buildings, advanced manufacturing facilities, and airports across the country.
In addition to structural engineering design, AG&E offers a comprehensive suite of structural sub-specialties, including integrated steel design and detailing, integrated precast, prestressed concrete design, advanced design technology, parking planning, and vibration consulting, delivering fully integrated structural design services to our clients. While these services are traditionally handled by separate firms, we offer them in-house, eliminating the need for delegated design and potentially shortening the construction duration by several months.

Pros: For most Electrical Engineer roles, you can expect pretty standard 40-hour weeks. The hybrid work model helps a lot with personal appointments and avoiding the Dallas traffic, making the daily grind a bit more manageable.
Cons: When big consulting projects are ramping up or there are unexpected issues with utility infrastructure, the work-life balance completely disappears. It's tough to maintain consistent personal plans when you're suddenly working 60+ hours for weeks on end.
Advice to Management: Managers should try to better forecast project demands and staff up for peak periods. It'd really help prevent engineer burnout when tackling complex utility infrastructure projects.

Pros: For some roles, especially back-office support, there's a decent hybrid model. You can sometimes WFH a couple days if your manager is cool with it. It's okay for planning personal appointments around your work.
Cons: But as a Field Engineer, flexibility is really tough. We're constantly at client sites for engineering projects, so onsite requirements are high. Long hours are common when project deadlines hit, it's not a consistent 40-hour week.
Advice to Management: Try to implement more flexible hours or compressed work weeks for Field Engineers when they aren't directly at client sites or during less intense periods. Maybe explore more remote options for report writing.

Pros: As an Energy Analyst, the base salary is pretty decent for the Dallas market. They've got a solid 401k match, which is a big plus in the utility sector. You won't struggle with your everyday bills.
Cons: The health insurance costs are super high, it eats into your take-home. Don't expect huge annual raises either; they're pretty minimal. There's not much bonus potential for most onsite roles.
Advice to Management: Take a serious look at health insurance premiums. Better annual raises and clearer bonus structures would help with retention.
