project management, technical-focused roles, and other opportunities. “We are training for consistency without losing creativity,” he says. “We are striving to strengthen the company’s foundation by improving customer service, our knowledge base, and overall – the quality of our services.” Another venture that has him excited has to do with the company’s direction – a direct result of their merger with Y&C. Prior to the merger, Bennett Engineering Services mostly served the Northern California area, but with Y&C’s presence in the market, they’re now providing more services to Bay Area clients. What keeps Rubio and the company busy these days is the transportation and water resources industries – roadway systems that support new and autonomous vehicles, improvements to aging infrastructure, and traffic management. Aging infrastructure above and below ground is also having trouble keeping up with climate change that causes flooding and there’s a need for more stormwater management. To combat the issues regarding infrastructure and traffic management, the company uses the latest technology such as roller-compacted concrete, and it’s looking to transform core systems and implementing AI in Intelligent Transportation Systems. These ITS include surveillance cameras, vehicle detection systems, traffic signal coordination systems, electronic toll collection and toll pricing systems, and other traffic management systems. Overall, Rubio sees opportunities where there are challenges and will continue to keep the company flexible for whatever comes its way. “We have great clients and an incredible team. Together, we can accomplish great things,” he says.
FINDING OPPORTUNITIES, from page 9
opportunities for alternative transportation while celebrating local diversity and showcasing business establishments and amenities. The project goal is to build the identity of the business corridor, improve access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and to infuse the area with a sense of placemaking that works to ultimately strengthen the diverse community and individual businesses. City, county, and neighborhood business leaders also share the vision to transform the boulevard into a destination that celebrates local diversity and showcases its many culinary and business establishments. Together, Rubio and the Bennett+Y&C team are intent on bringing this effort to fruition and witnessing the impact it has on the community. An employee survey – conducted about a year ago – mirrors the overall firm philosophy. Employees highlighted how important contributing to a community’s services is to them – creating solid infrastructure, safer communities, and providing clean water, among other things. PREPPING FOR THE FUTURE. From hiring challenges to an evolving transportation industry, Bennett+Y&C is fielding these challenges by being proactive and working to stay one step ahead. The company participates in recruiting events, looking for qualified individuals, and also offers mentorship and training courses to its employees. Rubio says that one of the undertakings he’s most excited about is Bennett Academy – a resource extended to all employees that encourages professional development. Every individual has a growth path if they so choose – they can gain hands-on experience in a variety of projects and the potential to move into
