Career Stories
“I interned here at Helm and had a feeling I’d be back. What I learned in the field those two summers was invaluable – and so was my confidence that Helm is a place I could come home to after school. I graduated from Iowa State in 2018 and came straight back to Helm. People share information here so easily – it’s a great place to hone your skills every day.”
Jake Dumler, Project Engineer, Westmont, IL Office
“I chose to work at Helm because of the company’s culture. Everyone supports each other and understands that it’s a team-focused company. It’s a great place to learn new skills, especially so early on in my career. Shortly after I graduated college, I was given many leadership opportunities that served as great experiences that have assisted in my day-to-day activities. You don’t get those kinds of opportunities at many companies in this industry.”
