done, and we are putting together a top-notch team to perform this
work.

If you're interested in having a direct and lasting influence on the
recreation facilities managed by EWEB and the Forest Service and want to
be part of one of the biggest hydroelectric construction projects in
Lane County then this may be the job for you!
