“I loved my intern experience here at AFB, and I accepted my full-time job offer on the first day of my last year of school to be a Plant & Process Engineer at the Aurora, MO facility. I quickly made some wonderful connections with the people I work with every day, both operators who are affected by the projects I do and have a wealth of knowledge, and the other members of the engineering team who also have a lot of information to share and guide me with.”
