Erika Salisbury returns to Trotter and Associates, Inc. as a full-time staff engineer in our St. Charles, IL office. After interning with TAI’s Water/Wastewater Team last summer — where she assisted with force main profiles, IL EPA permit submittals, and construction specification updates — Erika earned her Environmental and Ecological Engineering degree from Purdue University. In September, just before graduation, she passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, earning her Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T.) certification.  It is no surprise that Erika has already re-engaged in active projects, bringing both continuity and technical discipline to the team. We are proud to welcome her back to TAI, where she will advance her career while supporting our projects and valued clients.

After two internships with TAI, Annette Winterland joined the firm full-time following her graduation from Purdue University with a degree in Environmental and Ecological Engineering. While in college, Annette was active in Engineers Without Borders and in WEFTEC student programs and competitions. Upon graduation, she earned her Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T.) designation, marking an early milestone in her professional development! With prior project and field experience at TAI, Annette has seamlessly transitioned into her role, bringing familiarity and strong momentum! We are delighted she is back and with us full-time!

Illini alumni Cody Hansen, P.E., and Jillian Kiss, P.E., are on campus today representing Trotter and Associates, Inc. at the Spring CEE Career Fair (Booth #69).
