Hello,

I am considering an engineering job at Columbia Helicopters in Aurora, OR. Only thing I know about the company is the info I have collected from the interview and on the internet. I was wondering what people in the Portland Metro Area think about this small company...what's the local talk about this employer.

Columbia Helicopters

Thanks.

Sorry, have never heard anything about them, although I've driven by the airfield and seen their equipment out many times. I found this on the Internet:

Columbia Helicopters Company Reviews | CareerBliss

Columbia Helicopters Employee Reviews | Indeed.com

After looking at pictures of some of their older helicopters I remember seeing them in action from the bottom side during a helio-logging operation back in the mid-80's.

My brother had one of his planes at Aurora. I think he still owns a hanger there. Anyway, he said they are a great company and you will like the area.

My best friend works there, he loves it, pays REALLY well, he is a man of few words so I can't tell you much more about it. Another friend just got hired on there, they are getting huge government contracts. If I didn't like where I was at now I'd talk to them. GO FOR IT!
