SCO Coordinator (Former Employee), Worsley – December 23, 2012
Pros: free fruit and kitchen facilities
summary says it all, Very busy from dad to day I was self taught on all areas with little guidance. Management were there for you every day if needed they have an open door policy.

The hardest – more... part of the job was to make hard choices. and the most enjoyable part was the job its self. – less

Not very organized and very few chances for advancement.
Procuring Agent (Current Employee), Fort Gordon GA – December 12, 2012
Pros: free lunches, great management
Cons: no chances for advancement
A typical day of work at Balfour Beatty is coming in and taking care of problems that came up over night and cleaning up whatever the oncall technitian left behind. In the three years I have been employed here I learned lots of computer programs, technical info., and maintainence experiance. My co-workers work hard but take alot of advantages for granted – more... instead of respecting them. Hardest part of my job is keeping items in stock due to our purchasing system and approval proccess. Solving problems fast,effectively with the best possible idea. – less
