West Yost provides an ideal environment for early career
professionals to thrive! From the moment I stepped through
the door, I was encouraged to take on challenging projects
and mentored on the steps I can take to grow professionally.
I’ve enjoyed learning state-of-the-art modeling techniques
and getting exposure to all levels of business within the
firm. But the best part of working for West Yost is
definitely the people. As part of the West Yost team, you
have the opportunity to work with a truly exceptional and
passionate group of individuals who love what they do, and
enjoy each other’s company. The firm hosts multiple events
each year, including an outdoorsy family overnight trip to
Camp Sacramento, an Oktoberfest cook-out, and an annual
holiday party. There are always opportunities to connect with
coworkers. One of my favorites has been through the company’s
young professionals’ group, which meets monthly to share
experiences and receive training in new skills like project
management.

Engineer II
I was the first engineer Bruce and Jim hired when they
started the firm in 1990. It is exciting to see the company
flourish as we continue a successful transition from Bruce
and Jim’s original partnership to the firm we know and love
today…much larger now, yet still a place where individuals
have a huge impact on who we are and where we’re going.
Jeff Pelz, PE
Vice President
My three-year career at West Yost has exceeded all
expectations I had prior to my hire. I cannot convey the
feeling of comradery and accomplishment working with a team
of water-focused engineers who share similar passions.
At West Yost, we do not work “for a firm” we work together as
a team. That feeling of comradery was conveyed to me starting
day one when I met the President of West Yost, Charles
Duncan. Charles knew my name; he knew my story; he gave me a
hand-written welcome card.
Have I mentioned that small firms work on cool projects?
Check out the Washington Park Reservoir Project or the City
of Davis’ East Area Tank Project which was awarded Project of
the Year by the Sacramento Chapter of the American Public
Works Association.
