Pros

Good tech on the construction materials service line and a strong safety mind overall with safety buy-in from the top down. Generally, good people to work with a strong willingness to help people succeed. Environmental and Geotechnical service lines have a strong mentorship program to help a person grow in their role and advance. Materials service line has great opportunities to advance from a technician to a project manager, especially if you are willing to move.

Cons

The only concern of the new middle and upper management is how the numbers look on paper today and not what is coming down the line. Upper management seems to micro-manage timesheets and consulting fee goals.

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
