SAN FRANCISCO POST
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The San Francisco Post of the Society of American
Military Engineers had a very productive year in
2013. Due to the activities we conducted we were
able to win every streamer, which are representative
of our accomplishments.
Mr. Petroccitto has over 28 years
of experience in multi-discipline
engineering and project
management. He has served
as Project Director, Project
Manager and Project Engineer
for the planning, design, and
environmental review and
permitting of infrastructure,
facilities, waterfront,
urban redevelopment and
transportation projects. He
has participated in the design
and management of over
$100,000,000 of infrastructure
for urban re-development
in large cities in California,
most notably the Mission
Bay Redevelopment in San
Francisco. He has extensive
experience working for federal
agencies including USACE San
Francisco, NAVFAC Pacific,
NAVFAC Southwest, Vandenberg
AFB, National Park Service, and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
His design and management
skills have enabled him to
deliver projects, producing high
quality designs and working
cooperatively with multiple
stakeholders including private
developers, public review
agencies and departments,
regulatory agencies and
construction contractors.
We are also considered by SAME National for the
distinction of being the Top Medium Sized Post in
the country! Additionally, because we won all the
streamers, we also earned the Distinguished Post
Streamer, which the San Francisco Post has not
earned for several years. Please take time to read
through the newsletter to see highlights of the award
submission for each category.
I would like to extend a hearty THANK YOU to all who
contributed to our success in 2013, and encourage
other members to become active in the Post so that
the folks who have been doing the heavy lifting can
get some additional support. Be sure to check our
Opportunities section of the newsletter for board
positions, as well as volunteering.
I would also like to share the nominations from
our Post for the upcoming SAME Awards that will
be handed out at JETC. The San Francisco Post
nominated:
• Ms. Rachel Coyner for the Young Member Medal
• Mr. Ed Curran for the Bliss Medal
• MacDonald-Bedford for the Flowers Small Business Award.
We also had a great February lunch program where
I was able to share our Annual Report titled “What
is the Society of American Military Engineers, and
Why Should I Belong?” For those who were not able
to join the program, we have posted the complete
slide show on our website. Click here to access the
presentation. I encourage you to take time to read
through some of the amazing opportunities SAME
has to offer members.

SAN FRANCISCO POST
CARING FOR CALIFORNIA VETERANS
Our wounded warriors returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan deserve the best
possible medical care. Fortunately, the Department of Veterans Affairs anticipated the
inevitable increase in its patient population and embarked on large-scale renovations
of its facilities and a new construction program.
In California, Langan’s knowledge of the complex subsurface conditions of these VA
facilities and our long history of supporting major healthcare facilities enabled our
geotechnical and environmental engineers to support a multifaceted project for the VA
Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS), where $1 million in upgrades and expansions
are transforming the 92-acre campus. Langan has supported more than a dozen projects
on the campus.
Langan’s East Coast offices are also supporting our veterans. Employees have
participated in multiple Tough Mudder races benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.
Working with Rebuilding Together, Langan employees in Arlington, VA will be helping
to rehabilitate a veteran’s home assisting with landscaping, flooring replacements and
bathroom renovations.
Julie Jacobson, Business Development Manager at Langan
Treadwell Rollo in San Francisco, has experience in both marketing
and business development for Langan’s California offices in San
Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Irvine.
Her firm specializes in providing environmental, geotechnical
and site/civil engineering services for private developers, public
agencies, property owners, and institutional clients around the
world.
She is a new member of SAME and also participates in other
professional organizations including CREW, ULI, BOMA, SMPS, and
AMA.
She can be reached at [email protected]; or 415.955.5279.

SAN FRANCISCO POST
YOUNG MEMBER’S NEWS
Speaking of Droughts, here is a message from a young
engineer and one of SAME’s newest members who came
to the SAME Young Member Mixer on March 18, 2014, to
reach out and meet member firms.
The Drought for Entry Level Engineer
When I graduated college, I thought I had it made. I had
worked hard to obtain my engineering degree, and I was
sure I would find a job as soon as I started looking. I chose
to study engineering because I loved math and physics in
high school, but also because I had the impression that it
would be relatively easy to get a job after college. Almost a year after my graduation
from a top tier engineering school, and still looking for a job, I begin to wonder about
my original assumptions.
In the Bay Area, engineering is a common profession. Combined with higher overall
wages for new hires it has become one of the most sought after degrees to obtain. It
has produced large numbers of graduating students and not as many jobs to cover
the influx of recent grads. In 2012, a total of 12,309 Bachelor’s Degrees in Civil
Engineering were awarded across the nation (Yoder).
With a downturn in the economy in recent years, older generations have been keeping
their jobs longer and holding off on retirement. Growth for full time engineering
students reached 25 percent in 2012, and saw a 104 percent increase in graduate
degrees for Civil/Environmental Engineering awarded in 2012 (Yoder).
It has become increasingly apparent that a bachelor’s degree in our field is not enough.
From my own experience this past year, it has become extremely hard to break in
to the market as a new graduate out of college. For many of us, a graduate degree
may be the only path to success in the competitive job market of today. With new
online systems to filter candidate applications, it only makes it harder to differentiate
ourselves from the pack. Networking events put on by Society of American Military
Engineers (SAME), or the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Young Member
Forum are great ways to get involved early.
In the Bay Area, the growth in environmental regulations and the decrease in available
land has made it increasingly more difficult for new construction projects to begin
work. Hopes are high though, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics forecasts
faster than average growth for Civil Engineers at 20 percent overall growth in the next
10 years (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) . My advice for future graduates is to make
connections as early as possible, and start saving for graduate school. I will continue
my passion for engineering as the job search continues.

YM EVENTS
Last month’s Young Member event had another great turnout both young members
and old (veteran). The Young Member Committee hosted the event open to Post
members of all ages at Somar in downtown Oakland. We had 15 or so members
turn out. It was a great opportunity to meet new members within our post and
catch up with others. Young members are highly encouraged as the hosts, but the
meet-ups are intended for all. We try to meet once a month. Be on the lookout for
emails on upcoming event times and locations.
