“Charlotte has great restaurants!” That is what Emily Zeltmann and Kelicia Dix said about their visit to the Queen City this week. Two of American Engineering’s engineers from our Chesapeake, VA office spent the week collaborating with their teammates in Charlotte.   “We missed our families this week, but it was an adventure visiting a new city, getting to know some new colleagues, and while being treated to great meals, and a first-class hotel.”   Creating internal networks is an important part of career development at American Engineering. To grow as individuals, and feel connected throughout the company, we encourage staff to occasionally spend a few days in one of the other offices. This has the added benefit of bringing in additional resources to help with project deadlines. We remain committed to working together as One Company. #Americanea #Civilengineering  #Collaboration
