Fantastic Learning Opportunity
Withheld (Former Employee) – withheld – 11 September 2018
I joined Fluor with customer service and basic office skills. I did not have any prior experience in the engineering industry. My leaders at Fluor helped me gain tremendous knowledge and build new skills. I would still be there if the economic situation hadn't caused wide scale layoffs due to a lack of projects.
Pros
Supportive Teams
Cons
Poor work life balance due to long hours
The workplace is made of intelligent, competent, productive and hard working people.

Worked with a very good team of piping designers.
Technical Piping Lead/ lead (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 9 July 2018
I have worked at Fluor in Canada and the UK on numerous occasions and always found the experience enjoyable and rewarding. In general I have always been lucky enough to work with a good team of piping designers. When a project is in full swing the average working days go very quickly with reviewing the model for continuity, answering technical questions from junior designers and other disciplines, attending meetings and keeping key documents up to date. With every new project you are always learning something new. The 3rd Gen modularization concept was new to me but made sense when you consider the limited on-site construction window due to adverse weather conditions in Canada. I love working in the the piping department as it seems to attract engineers who are hard working but who also know how to let their hair down at social events. Over the years I have met some great characters.
Pros
In house gym
Cons
long working days
Well laid out office and lunchroom complex
General Superintendent (Former Employee) – NWR, Redwarer Alberta – 9 July 2018
Had great upper management, planning group and skilled support staff. Every work day started with a Safety/ tool box talk and stretches. Days were filled with planning, schedule, material update, execution and progress meetings. Hardest part of this job was working around material shortages and the most enjoyable part was being a part of the professional group of trades people that executed a safe and well built project.
Pros
Project was close to home
Cons
None
Large EPC company. Good Benefits and Pay. Under appreciated.
Document Control Lead (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 3 July 2018
Fluor is a large company and being a large company you tend to get lost. You aren't appreciated as much as you would be in a smaller company. Especially when work is slow you are just a number, doesn't matter your situation, just how much money they are willing to spend on you. However the years I have worked here have been prosperous. Good pay and benefits! But once they don't need you you are gone no matter what you did for them.
Pros
Benefits, Salary, Flexible work schedule
Cons
You are just a number, no appreciation
World class EPC company

Cons
