Job offers claiming to be from Olsson have been extended via email and other means from illegitimate senders. They may ask for sensitive personal information and/or financial contributions and appear to come from an Olsson recruiter. Olsson has no responsibility for fraudulent job offers and advises recipients to notify us immediately using our Contact form.

Olsson and its affiliates have an internal recruiting team to fill open roles that are posted to the general public. In certain cases, Olsson may wish to add to its internal team’s capabilities by engaging with external recruiting vendors and employment agencies (“Recruiting Vendors”). Recruiting Vendors are not authorized to send resumes or candidate data or otherwise directly or indirectly contact Olsson employees for the purposes of presenting candidates for employment. The only exception to this directive is for Recruiting Vendors who have an active and Valid Agreement on file with Olsson which has been authorized by Olsson’s recruiting team (“Authorized Recruiting Vendors”). Additionally, Authorized Recruiting Vendors must be specifically invited by Olsson’s recruiting team to assist with searching for and submitting candidates for a specific position and all resumes and candidate data must be sent to a member of Olsson’s recruiting team.

In compliance with this Directive, and to ensure Recruiting Vendors have authorization to share candidate personal information, Olsson will not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than from Authorized Recruiting Vendors that have a Valid Agreement in place with Olsson as stated above. Any unsolicited resumes or other candidate data submitted to Olsson regardless of the means of transmission (email, fax, etc.) shall be considered Olsson’s property. Olsson will not pay any placement or other fees of any kind for any unsolicited resumes or candidate data that is submitted in violation of this Directive. Any unsolicited resumes or other data submitted to Olsson in violation of this Directive may be used by Olsson without obligation to pay any fees of any kind to Recruitment Vendors.

Valid Agreements are defined as being in writing and signed by an authorized designated signatory of Olsson’s Talent organization. No other Olsson employee (including a hiring manager) is authorized to sign an agreement with a Recruiting Vendor. If a Recruiting Vendor does not have a Valid Agreement, Olsson does not accept liability under any legal theory such as course of conduct, oral agreements, implied contracts, or otherwise based on negotiations with a candidate identified from an unsolicited resume or data in violation of this Directive.

Meet Chris. He’s a water/wastewater engineer in our Fayetteville, Arkansas, office and he has a different story to tell about how he came to be with Olsson—through an acquisition. This is his Olsson story.

Chris joined McGoodwin Williams & Yates (MWY), (which Olsson acquired in early 2018) in 1999, fresh out of school and ready to begin his career and make a difference.

“Mr. Yates hired me, and it was just a family atmosphere, and that really drew me in,” Chris said. “It was neat to come into that, it felt like a big family.”

Naturally, when Chris found out Olsson was going to acquire MWY, there was some apprehension at first. But he quickly learned that Olsson’s culture was very similar to that of MWY’s.

“I was able to meet many of the Olsson employees and realize they were just like us, family atmosphere and all,” he said. “I knew this was going to be a good fit.”

Since then, it’s been a great opportunity for Chris.

“Even with 1,200 employees, it still feels like a smaller company, and I like that. It doesn’t feel like a corporate setting,” he said. “I love that we can now offer our clients so many more services and really give them a fully-rounded experience.”

Chris has enjoyed getting to know even more fellow employees in other offices through the firm’s Leadership Forum, which was created to gather leaders in the company together to further their skills and talk about the challenges that can come with leadership.

“I felt privileged to be part of that and have the chance to learn more about the operations of things,” he said.

Chris also enjoys the opportunity to improve the community he lives and works in. Many of the projects he works on are for the City of Fayetteville.

“Any water project we do benefits the communities,” he said. “I enjoy having a good relationship with the clients, staying in touch with them, being available to help them when they need it, and offering advice.”

All in all, Chris truly enjoys Olsson.

“It’s been great, and I feel very secure in my work. There are a lot things that I’m looking forward to, here at Olsson.”

Meet Wyatt Popp. He’s is an engineering technical leader in our Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Texas, office. Wyatt has been with Olsson for 17 years; during that time he has executed a variety of projects that have lead to his growth as a project manager that have culminated in his move to Texas. This is his Olsson story.

Over the past 17 years, Wyatt has developed his expertise in managing projects and building relationships with Olsson clients.

“I have worked on both public and private sector projects. Being able to work in both sectors helped me prepare to take on large projects,” he said.

So, when Wyatt had the opportunity to relocate to Texas to be a project manager for Grandscape, a massive, one-of-a-kind, mixed-use development project located in the Dallas suburb of The Colony, Texas, he was ready for the challenge.

“I interact with the owner on a regular basis as well as coordinate with the external and internal team members,” he said. “Working on the Grandscape project included a lot of coordination with the City of The Colony, and that relationship led to our selection for an on-call contract with the city.”

However, the Grandscape project isn’t the only thing that excites Wyatt about working and living in Texas. The energy of the state is exciting.

“The growth in the DFW metroplex does not seem to stop, which fuels all the activity. There is always something to do,” he said. “With the growth in Texas, you meet people from all over the country or all over the world. It is fun to meet people and learn about their experiences and what brought them to Texas.”

Wyatt’s family has also appreciated their new surroundings and been welcomed like family by fellow Olsson employees.

“My favorite way of seeing this city is through my son’s experiences. The diversity of friends he has made in school to the number of activities that he gets involved with outside of school is just incredible,” he said.” Family is very important to me and we’ve been welcomed to Texas by colleagues and community members as if we are already family.”

Texas has one of the top 10 economies in the world, which makes the opportunity for growth tremendous. Olsson has high aspirations for Texas and the many opportunities for new staff to join the effort. These opportunities are in the realms of data centers, the public sector, the private sector, power delivery, rail, and survey.

“The energy of the growth within the state of Texas can also be felt within our firm,” Wyatt said. “We have put a lot of work into accomplishing our goals in the past months and the shape of our effort is starting to become clear. I think it will be a proud moment, 10 years from now, when we look back on our efforts for Texas.”
