Productive area of work

Field Contractor Supervisor (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 7 February 2018

It was great to work with Safway, a lot of experience regarding constructions issued on a refinery.
Even though we had some problems on the road, we were able to solve them as a team work, and always respecting the health and safety of the workers.

Efficient Company with Established Procedures

Journeyman Insulator (Former Employee) – Fort Saskatchewan, AB – 22 February 2017

The size of the site required transportation into units. This was a disadvantage for employees required to be dressed and in the unit by 7:00am. For the most part, supervision stayed out of the way of the workers. While it made for an efficient day, it caused a lot of the workforce to feel more like just a number. No individual pats on the back or attaboys, but the company did provide valuable safety awards. The hardest part of the job was travelling into the plant, gearing up, and then walking a few blocks to our units on our time. The most enjoyable part was having material consistently staged and available.

Racist, sexist, not safe, no job security, soap opera, liars

Scaffolder (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 20 September 2016

Doesn't matter how hard you work, in this industry, it's who you know that keeps you employed. Women at a hair salon don't whine like Scaffolders do. The hardest part about this job, is watching everyone cut throat each other, then shake hands with the same person they were just bashing behind their backs. Good money, but you're only working here and there. The most enjoyable part of the job, besides going home, putting in earphones to drown out the social vomit.

Worst boss I've ever had

Site Administrator (Former Employee) – Fort Mackay, AB – 18 August 2016

Terrible and negative work environment. Thought I was going to see a fist fight break out in the office. Manager was degrading and sexist.

productive and fun workplace in shell scotford

Scaffold Erector (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 19 November 2014

I worked 10 hr days Mon to Fri working with a 4 man crew. The journeyman pushed me hard to give them the supplies they needed for the job at hand. i worked in a tight atmosphere but i gained alot of knowledge and worked really hard. My coworkers were very knowledgeable about our job and explained things thoroughly about what we were doing. The hardest part of the job was hoisting up all the material to the pipe rack.. some were over 50 lbs and i would do that for hours on end.

Pros

experience

Cons

my first scaffold job

Good place most the time

Scaffolder (Current Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 13 October 2013

I learned alot working here and was given alot of good opportunities, but the company has been heading down hill for awhile. Management has no concerns over their employee's and will screw over anyone to make themselves look better. They have a tendancy to set workers up for failure rather then find ways to make them a better employee

Pros

two on two off 12 hour days

Cons

Management Issues
