Efficient Engineering is when a PLAN becomes EPLAN

Stay Organized & Data-Driven

  • Track outreach activity, lead status, and pipeline development
  • Provide insights and feedback from prospect conversations to help improve campaigns and messaging

  • Naturally outgoing and enjoy talking with people
  • Curious, inquisitive, and comfortable asking thoughtful questions
  • Motivated by goals, growth, and continuous learning
  • Confident communicating professionally by phone, email, and video
  • Organized, persistent, and self-motivated
  • A strong team player with high integrity and accountability
  • Excited by technology, innovation, and business solutions

Qualifications:

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong organizational and follow-up skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 05/31/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
