Current OPPORTUNITIES

Thank you so much for all the help you've offered me in the course of my job search on graduating from RPI. Your coaching really helped me develop my ability to network through multiple connections. This is something I always struggled with. After our first meeting, I followed your advice and focused on improving these skills. Once I shared with my contacts that I was not so much looking for a job as for a team where I could continue learning and do my best work helping others do their best work ~ seeking my first “real job” actually became a fun, rich, learning experience. J.O. ~ BS, MS IT landed a 6 fig offer with a major Computer and Network Security Firm in Cyber security helping Utilities, Cities & enterprises.

Earlier this year I was approached by Matt.Sadinsky@prepintl.com as a prospective candidate for a senior Capital Budget Development Management role with a great CA city. In short order, my credentials were presented to the hiring team. While I was not selected as the finalist for that role, it was a rich learning career development experience. The career coaching and interview preparation that Matt provided was invaluable. I do not change jobs often. It was great to learn more about how to best present my best credentials, my strengths, and areas where I am still growing professionally. Matt was helpful in asking me the right questions and coaching to help me feel more confident and capable. As part of our meetings, I felt well prepared for my interviews, and the process of interviewing. I was able to position my desire to get back on my "learning-edge" in such a way that in a few short months, I received several competitive job offers. I finally landed a similar role in a nearby city of choice. I am grateful to Matt for helping me grow as a professional in my career. While I have had more than a few meaningless exchanges with Executive recruiters, my search experience working with Matt and PReP Intl were insightful, productive and very valuable. ~ NT from NY now CA.

When our company was going through In need of a career change? Matt & PReP Intl did an amazing job in weeks. I upgraded my profession from construction & maintenance to Sys Ops w an amazing team where I could be successful from the start in new environment.

When our company was going through a major merger last year, PReP Intl really came through when internal talent management options were not working fast enough.

With PReP Intl, we were able to fill critical operations openings in less than three weeks with certified, experienced professionals. They fit right in, added immediate value, and improved our departments’ readiness, reliability, and flexibility.

As Entergy transitioned to MISO, we needed additional staff as an adjunct to traditional internal career development. We’re thrilled to have an agreement with PReP Intl that will ensure support for the next 18-36 months.

We have had non-stop change in our operations. With a wave of retirement and new regulations, we needed a fully qualified NERC Certified Interim System Operator to immediately step into our Hydro Dispatch operations. In the six months we used PReP Intl’s prequalified ready certified professional, we were able to assure our internally promoted candidates had an effective onboarding experience and passed their certification exams. The PReP Intl professional we engaged had years of relevant operations experience, met our every expectation and had been around the block a couple of time and was deep and capable in both compliance and training. PReP Intl knows our space, is a great resource for interim and regular candidates. We are glad we are able to count on them as our “Plan B” and to be available when needed for interim roles and to supplement our onboarding strategy.

Our utility, like many others, went through a major period of reorganization and realignment for almost the last 2 years beginning early 2012.

Over that time period, we changed Reliability Coordinators, moved our Balancing Control Center and actually changed which NERC region and RTO we coordinated operations with. During that time many of our operators retired and we had a difficult time understanding which end was up!

We needed access to a supply of experienced and Certified NERC System Operators in two control centers in two states who would learn our desks and procedures, work reliably as scheduled and allow our Chief System Operators and the rest of team some peace of mind that Safety, Reliability and Compliance would never be compromised. PReP Intl provided 4 immediate operators – 2 seasoned retirees and 2 NERC Certified Navy Nukes in June 2012. When we needed 3 we worked 3.

At some point in 2013 we had 6-7 PReP Professionals working at one time. 18 months later and after everything settled down our operations has pretty much returned to normal. Managing under that much pressure and uncertainty is never fun but having access to the Professionals at PReP Intl made my job and my team’s jobs possible. PReP Intl was able to respond in real time. Every talented professional they sent our way was competent, capable and committed. Having them around also helped make our teams and my bosses more confident.

We regret because of the uncertainties, we were not able to snag a couple of them to join us full time, but perhaps some day in the future we will. We certainly tried. If your operations need senior operators to help train junior ones on a part-time or interim basis, or you need help finding talent who can hit the ground running that are already “Prequalified and Ready”, we can certainly recommend PReP Intl for your mission critical real time system operator roles.
