"I suspect my salary as a specialty engineer is comparable to other competitors considering experience level. 12 years ago I moved from my previous employer to Fluor for the same salary for two reasons: first, my commute time was reduced by an hour a day and second; Fluor had a reputation as one of the best EPC contractors. I had learned of Fluor's reputation by bidding against them for years."
