This company does not value the loyalty of their people.

Machine operator (Current Employee) - Tobram - 1 October 2022

Work politics is very thick here, that’s when certain people don’t like you, it does not matter you can do the job you are applying for you won’t get it and worst they put that person down; and worst there are people in the office who doesn’t even know simple Microsoft Office app but these people thinks they are so much way smarter than people in production.

Instrumentation Electrician Technician (Former Employee) - Wood Buffalo, AB - 23 March 2022

The small company concept is still alive and thriving. The team atmosphere brings out the best in everyone. Each team member no matter their role plays a vital part.

La tete ne sais pas ce que la base fait et l'inverse aussi.

Soudeur (Former Employee) - Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, QC - 4 December 2021

La direction d'usine est défaillant, gravement.La gestion sur le plancher est à l'instinct. Un jour on tourne tous à droite, un autre jour, tout à gauche sans raison apparente. Que du patchage. Erreurs sur erreurs. De chef de divers département se mêle des affaires des autres départements.. chaque département pelote ses problèmes dans la cours d'un autre département.Ti-boss incompétent.Gestion à la va comme je te pousse.Exemple patent de désorganisation. Un peu pathétique. Méthodologie dépassé quand gestion. Quant à la culture d'entreprise elle se résume à: c'est pas ma faute et vite trouver un coupable. Conservation d'employés non compétents.Ça s'en va dans le mur.Santé sécurité = zéro.

Pros

Si DCM change les amateurs à la direction de l'usine ce pourrait être un point positif.

Cons

Une usine recente, C'est un peu comme un bel emballage pour offrir un cadeau de piètre qualité, Amateurisme, Gestion défaillante, Méthodes de production boiteuses et inconstantes.

Safe and competent workplace with great benefit package

Pipefitter (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 1 September 2020

Pretty straight forward. Plan the jobs for the day. Review safety meetings. Review all of the hazards for the day. Management and workers are all easy to work with, they are great teachers. I learned how to be a competent Pipefitter, great organization skills, and learned the value of working at a highly intense oil/gas plant. The hardest part of the job was performing critical jobs and getting the, done safely. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting up and going to work everyday.

Pros

Out of town 7&7

Cons

Gas fumes, and very loud

A good change from American Jobs

Pipefitter Foreman (Former Employee) - Fort McMurray, AB - 26 December 2018

After working for several years as a pipefitter in the US, I had the opportunity to work with DCM in Fort McMurray. Overall, it was a much more pleasant experience then working in the states. There were some issues with exchange rates and a minor difficulty in paying bills back home sometimes, but over all it was a good experience

Pros

Camp Job

Cons

Weather

Poorly managed with inexperienced supervisors/superintendents.

Instrument Technician (Former Employee) - N. Alberta Canada - 27 October 2017

Lack of identity and leadership which makes it difficult for them to lead a maintenance team of different trades. This company is basically a pipe fitting/mechanical orientated company.
