Great training opportunities
Lead Mechanical Engineer (Former Employee) – Sarnia, ON – 29 October 2018
It is a good place to start, but if you need better salaries you need to switch to other companies after a while.
The work environment is often professional and less of office politics as compared to other big EPCs.

Site Purchaser (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 18 October 2018
The best part of the job was the relationships built with the tradesmen in the field. Management was supportive and expectations were well defined. The only downside was job security was limited to actual work in hand and not on backlog of work to be done at a later date. IE: when the project was finished, you were laid off and not brought in to home office to prepare for the next job.
Pros
Supportive home office supervision
Cons
Disorganized field supervision
Another huge Company
Crane Operator (Former Employee) – Alberta/BC – 16 October 2018
ive done plenty of projects over the years with various Managers and nothing changes ,If they need you your hired, if not no interaction.
its more of who you know to get hired nowadays, HR is unapproachable and submitting a general application/ resume is impossible.
Benefits have been cut back, but thats every where.

HSE Coordinator/Advisor/Trainer (Former Employee) – Conklin, AB – 5 October 2018
Awesome Company with a positive and successful safety culture. I learned a new Incident Investigation and Health management program. Hardest part of my job was getting to know the 200 plus workers on my project. The most enjoyable part of my job was the ability to help workers complete their tasks in a safe and productive manor
Pros
Working for a general Contractor with multiple trades and services
Cons
six and a half hour comute to the work site
Interesting work, generally good people, a bit clicky
Administration (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 3 October 2018
Administrative duties generally included reviewing long technical reports for the consulting staff and preparing them for the client. Few diversions from this work.
Began to learn the task of writing minutes with little direction or useful criticism.
There is a need to train admin staff a little better however, there may have been two contributing factors to this challenge. 1,a language barrier between one of the two people that trained me and myself and 2, the second person training me had applied and was denied my position. These two factors may have been contributors to my discontent and may have kept me from picking things up as quickly as what I would have liked.
Management was mostly absent and took little time to provide instructions, perhaps a style.
Some people were very supportive and helpful others not.
Generally a good place to work.

Poor management and recruiting
Apprentice Pipefitter (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 July 2018
They easily black list you from ever regaining work just because you take a few days off for being sick when you come back to work they lay you off. Then when you reapply for work they won't rehire you. They judge you from the past other than work experience. Wages and benefits are good.
Pros
Wages and benefits
Cons
Not recognizing former employees for there work experience and ability to work
Great company to work with

WorleyParsons Markham Office
Project Information Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 12 July 2018
Not a bad place if you are an engineer. Not a great place if you are in IT. Probably pretty average work environment. I would return, but only as a transition to somewhere else.
Pros
Best coffee machine I've ever drank from.
Cons
Not much upward mobility opportunities for IT in Markham
They like social people, not professional people
Principle Engineer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 25 June 2018
This company has the talent to identify good engineers and laid them off. It is full of social people instead of professional people. There's no perfect company, but this company in deed developed kind of culture in a very different way from to be professional.
I loved working with Worley throughout
Sr. Mechanical Engineer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 12 June 2018
It was the most enjoyable learning experience of my professional life. Typically everyone is mutually very helpful and work culture is excellent.
Good management supportive and encouraging to engineers whether young or old. Also providing lots of learning opportunities and continuous training.
In nut shell I liked Worley too much without any hiccups and did not find any hardest part in job to describe.
I enjoyed all along, so no complaints except they let go people like me due to sudden downturn in the engineering sector.
