STO Building Group’s RPE Program provides entry-level college graduates with backgrounds in architecture, civil engineering, construction management, and interior design exposure to a well-rounded professional experience in construction management. RPE employees are rotated (every 9 to 12 months) through each of STO Building Group’s four major disciplines: Field Operations, Estimating, Purchasing and Engineering.
