Job Opportunities (full-time and internship):
1. FULL TIME and Rotation Program
PrecisionCast Parts
We are considering hiring for a Cost Accountant/Analyst position in the next few months and I was wondering if you could recommend any students that have an interest in cost accounting, working in Milwaukie/Portland area, and maybe some work experience. If so, can you please have them send me a resume? DLeitzke@pccstructurals.com
There is also a program starting up separate from the Accounting and Finance Development Program (AFDP) called the FRP. It would be worth applying to as it is more of an Oregon focused rotation as far as I can tell.

2. ON CAMPUS:
I work in the accounting department at one of the business centers on campus and my manager is looking for student workers for the upcoming summer. They would probably be using data warehousing software to process documents like invoices and purchasing cards and also running courier. They could work up to full-time if they aren’t taking too many summer classes and I believe it would be minimum wage. My manager asked me to let students know that we were hiring and the position will offer some good accounting experience. Resumes need to be emailed to my manager Dee.Wendler@oregonstate.edu. Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.
Respectfully,
Cade A. Windell
