Employee Highlight

“I had a great experience here at Powell CWM Inc. I worked with great people and had a good time. [While there] I learned how to use survey equipment from shooting targets to utilities and how to level, do inverts, and use a data collector. I am very happy I learned how to do it the right way, not the easy way.”
