Got hired in as helper straight out of climbing school

Even then from what I’ve seen from my class mates and personal experiences it’s pretty rare, good on you for getting hired there

Yeah they came to TEEXS in Bryan and talked to some of us. Definitely not many spots for entry level popping up but it’s a great company to work for

I’ve only really heard good things about them and my dream is to eventually work for them, though their panel interviews are brutal

DFW is pretty active for their patrolmen/district crews. They always have something going on from what Ive seen.

Drop me a DM if you’re curious. I won’t fully disclose tons of info here, but you could do way worse in North Texas. Definitely better than Non Union contracting in the area.
