Work Force Recruitment & Career Opportunities
MCES’s primary goal when recruiting new employees is to fill vacancies with persons who have the best available skills, abilities or experience needed to perform the work. Decisions regarding the recruitment, selection and placement of employees are made on the basis of job-related criteria.
When positions become available, qualified current employees are encouraged and are welcome to apply. As openings occur, notices relating general information about the position are announced. The manager of the department with the opening will arrange interviews with employees who apply. We encourage current employees to recruit new talent for MCES.
Employment Classifications
The following terms are used to describe employment classifications and status:

Such employment may be terminated at any time, with or without cause, during or after the 60-day period if deemed appropriate by the employee or the Company. The period may be extended by the Company at its sole discretion.
- Full-Time Employee — Regularly scheduled to work at least 40 hours per week and not hired on a temporary basis.

Construction law involves any legal issue related to the construction of a building or other structure. Common construction-related legal disputes include workplace injuries and accidents, construction defects, contract issues, and problems with obtaining the proper planning or building permits.
