A Huge Mess
another number (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 15 April 2021
This company takes care of their guys about as well as they take care of their machines. The pile of dead gear here is larger than I've ever seen. Management is an absolute Joke there's no safety to speak of which is clear right off the bat as there's no house keeping so most work sites look like pig sties.
Pros
the money is good
Cons
everything else

Diverse scope of work and labour intensive
Equipment Operator/Laborer (Current Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 22 February 2021
Too many young bucks with no or little work experience just hanging out while a select few do the work. Management sees it but have tied hands on account of the union. The lazy ones take full advantage of not being able to get fired.Good work, VERY good pay, excellent camp and amazing people for the most part.
Pros
Amazing Camp, great staff
Cons
Too many Pilons with faces.

Great place to work
Concrete Redi-Mix Truck Operator (Current Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 28 October 2020
Worked as a Concrete Mixer Truck Operator. It is seasonal but, the pay more than made up for that. Is a camp job but, all Covid-19 protocols are in place. Likely safest place in Canada. Atco runs the camp. I'm not fond of how it's run but, it's tolerable. Food is okay not hot but, hey you can't have it all, right?Worked with an amazing crew! We were a great team had each others back and pulled together to get things done. Best foreman and supervisors I've ever worked for. The project is winding down and am looking forward to going back for one last season. Schedule was 2 weeks in 1 week home which was great for me.
Pros
People, Pay, Schedule
Cons
Atco Camp. It's tolerable though

Some good n some baaaaad
Shift Supervisor at phase one crusher (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 20 August 2020
Thought I'd be happy and rejoiceful to work together with them but after the first shift a wannabe supervisor trys to tell me about the way I would be fired from walking around checking out the plant and then he tells the other members of the GLEE CLUB and we'll I should not have to say anything more about this..right .if you want to be told that everything you do is wrong and whoever's way is right then fill your boots but don't say i didn't warn you.
Pros
Camp
Cons
No Maral

Batch plant CVC
Mixer Operator (Former Employee) - CVC - 21 July 2020
I got lucky, for the most part concrete and the batch plant was out of sight out of mind. I've never met such an awesome crew to work with, there will be a lot of reviews here on how management and supervisors really don't know what they're doing..
But for us we had the best guys, if this project was any longer I would have stayed all the waystayed all the way to the end
Pros
The crew, my boss's of course the money
Cons
Flying, short family time

stressful work place but excellent amenities
Field Egineer (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 9 July 2020
12 hours working period with day and night shifts rotation(two weeks on one week off), co-workers mostly friendly and collaboratively but managers just thinking of their salary and position do not care about technical specs. The restaurant and gym were perfect and dormitory as well. Actually it is like a revolving door, so many newcomers and a lot quitting!
Pros
perfect restaurant and clean dormitory
Cons
long working hours, low salary

Heavy Equipment Operator (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 2 July 2020

Pros
Crews, camp is clean
Cons
equipment is beaten.

Jobs at Peace River Hydro Partners
High Turnover
Project Coordinator (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 30 June 2020
If you like constant turnover this place is for you. The Project is interesting. However, unless you are from Spain or Korea you likely will not last long.
Pros
Money is ok.
Cons
Revolving Door

Very happy
Carpenter/Lead Hand (Current Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 16 June 2020
This is by far the best team I have been a part of. Real construction people getting the job done. BS is at the minimum and the morale on-site is generally very good with a great group of people who have fun while working. These big jobs are always temporary but I would work for PRHP forever if I could, no reason to leave...other than the job completing and them not needing me anymore lol
Pros
Long Hours, great pay, great team members
Cons
um, there must be one.

Got fired because the manager needed money to pay for his friends flights from Newfoundland.

PRHP managers did not work collaboratively together. There were too many little empires.
They hired experienced people, but wouldn’t listen to their Advil!
Pros
Good salary
Cons
No benefits, no job security, no salary raises for life of project.

Good place to work
Haul Truck Operator (Current Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 29 April 2020
If camp work fits into your life schedule then this is a great place to work. Awesome modern camp. Good foremen on most crews. Never rushed to do a job. Big project and site can get a bit confusing sometimes, but always get sorted out in the end. Great pay and good benefits. Equipment needs upgrade now.

Wouldn't recommend
Packer and Labourer (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 26 March 2020
The pay was good. First time in a camp it seemed fine. My first time at a huge work site. I was thrown on machinery because they assumed I was trained at Earth Works. That's HR and the supervisors not communicating. I noticed alot of favoritism which I guess may be normal but others treated like dirt. The machinery is poorly maintained always breaking down. When I went to a different department on site RCC they actually treated people with respect and noticed there was always work to be done and people worked hard for them. The money is great, camps fine but I wouldn't recommend. I was really disappointed how I was treated at Earthworks but RCC let me finish off on a good note.

Never trust what the bosses tell you
Mechanical Maintenance Crew (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 25 February 2020
Good wages and overtime. Terrible representation from CLAC union. Watch for drug addicts on site. Never speak out, Never teach your trade to others. Watch for back stabbers.
