What percentage of small to mid-szie engineering  firms drug test and perform background checks?
371332
as close to 100% as possible. Engineering firms have NO tolerance and are very careful. Most of my friends from Auburn University are professional engineers....

In the U.S., you have to have your P.E. license for the state you are practicing engineering (Professional Engineer).  Once you have that, you can be a "consulting" engineer and build your business.

Wackenhut Security Company will hire you and train you.  They are located off Beach Blvd.  They do a thourough background check and a drug test is required.

That would show on a $50 background check.  Some businesses do them, some don't.  If they don't you might get away with it, but it would be out there.  \n\nIf they ever decided they didn't want you, they could back check things and have an immediate reason to fire you with cause.  I have seen that happen twice.

Yep - in my state they test at EVERY meeting for a drug or DUI offense. So don't be a dummy - stay off the sauce.

Our Engineering Director prefer to hire those who study Mechanical Engineering if we are hiring for a Design Engineer at our Sales/Marketing/Engineering Office. Chemical Engineers are sought after for those Engineers we hire to work in the plant.  Check out an Engineering Society's website (i.e. SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers) and perhaps it will help assist you with making your decision.

For a lot of them, they trade stocks or perform other finance related tasks that have almost nothing to do with their education. These firms sometimes just like to hire smart people who are good at math and science.... engineers.

Doesnt matter where the location is, companies still need MSCE's and CCNA's.  I wouldnt stop at those certifications though, continue on with Cisco certifications.

quality assurance can be applied to anything, plant, company tools, equipment, etc.    Just creat some limits and quidelines for each, thats a start. ie: office chairs, must have 5 legs or tables must be black or your product that you put out must meet written quailty (no bad spelling)...not sure of what it is you want tho

Unless you are going to be working in the warehouse of the corp. offices, I doubt they will make you take a drug test.  But I wouldn't doubt that if you give them suspicion, that they would make you take one "randomly"

Either pull up the firms web site to see what kind of work they do or just ask.
