Technical Training
at Walter P Moore

overview
The technical expertise of this company is imprinted on every one of our projects. It is one of the reasons construction contractors like working with us. And it is a big part of why we can master whatever engineering challenge is thrown at us. To good engineering skills, our technical training program adds the specific technical requirements and standards that we have developed over time to meet—and often surpass—our clients’ expectations.

The depth of our technical knowledge is shared throughout the company. And this program is available to everyone in the firm with technical responsibilities.

the ‘what’ of technical training
Our technical training program is built around four objectives: strengthening our overall technical proficiency and body of knowledge, creating quality and consistency in what we deliver and how we deliver, encouraging the use of our many engineering resources and tools, and stimulating the pursuit of learning and innovation.

the regime
The curriculum is developed independently for each engineering discipline by in-house experts who also provide the training. When appropriate, we bring in academics, materials experts and construction contractors. Most sessions last two hours and are conducted within company offices. The training sessions are augmented with design aids, white papers, and engineering guidelines, tools, and standards. Feedback from participants is used to continually improve the program.
