Construction field engineer (Former Employee) – Lake Charles, LA – 26 April 2017
None. I would suggest keeping full time employees. Transfer them to different jobs. Good place to work at. Decent salary and work atmosphere but they need to encourage the employee by showing faith.
Piping Superintendent (Former Employee) – Kearl Lake, AB – 6 February 2016
Planning and executing was our typical day to day activities. With having the opportunity to work with excellent colleges we had 3 months to plan the project prior to executing it. My co-workers were great and pleasant to work with. With all the planning and we were challenged to complete the project on time. This was achievable but yet still challenging. It was a pleasure to provide trade workers with good facilities, tools and a well planned job.

Project Engineer (Former Employee) – Fort Saskatchewan, AB – 21 April 2015
Worst place ever. No communication from management. Keeping people in dark. Good old boy club. Its a political mine field. Cbi still stands for cousin brothers and in laws.
Cbi picks naive uni grads from school and make them work like dogs. Once energy is sapped out of them. HR rotates them with new crop of grads.
They sell you dream, tell you that you can be manager. .which is not possible unless you rub right shoulders.
I am PMP and P.eng. worked in multinational companies. Never came across how this Canadian division was run. Might be different in US. But i am not holding my breath.

I had a great time at this position, due to the day was in full of duties. I learned alot about engineering and redlines in this position because it was all about the turnover process to the client. My co-workers were all about getting the job done correctly, which made this absolutely great for me.The hardest part to this job was leaving it, I fully enjoyed it. The most enjoyable part of this job was the learning curves to submit a timely and correct turnover to the client.
