T.J. Copple graduated from UC Davis in May of 2013 with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. Copple joined the team at Preston Pipelines in August of 2013 as a laborer. After earning his degree, Copple was confident that he was not going to pursue an office career.
“I didn’t want a job where I was stuck in the office. I wanted to be able to go outdoors and work hands-on” said Copple. Copple stated that it’s easier to learn when you are doing things hands on, his job here at Preston Pipelines let’s him be right on the front line of things. Copple was well prepared to jump straight into the workplace, it was better than he expected. After working in the field for six months, Copple is now working at our Milpitas office full-time as a Project Engineer. Working hands-on will helped expedite Copple’s experience here at Preston Pipelines!
“I didn’t want a job where I was stuck in the office. I wanted to be able to go outdoors and work hands-on” said Copple.
“I love Preston Pipelines. The actual work is interesting but the thing I like most is the people! They are all wonderful people” said Copple.
Preston Pipelines has made it easy and rewarding for Copple to transition from the college life into the work world.
