Overall Experience:

Working at AirX Utility Surveyors, Inc. has been a rewarding experience. The company's dedication to safety, employee growth, and teamwork creates a positive and productive work environment. While there are some challenges, such as the high workload and fieldwork demands, the pros far outweigh the cons. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a stable and supportive workplace with opportunities for career advancement.

I have worked for this company for almost two months. They have so many management issues both in the office and in the field. They will send you out with no training to do a job that you are not qualified to do yet. They have a very great trainer, but good luck getting trained by him. Why? they're consistently moving you around without even getting proper trained. They'll have others to train you, that have been there less than eight months that are very underqualified for the job. it's hard to get trained by employees overprotected off their job. it will get very argumentative with those employees. Doesn't matter if you voice it out they think that you're the problem. Operator will tell you something and then deny telling it to you to keep them from looking bad in management eyes. Raise are rare. If you have issues in the field then you might as well forget about help from management. If something tears up then it is because you didn't take care of it. Superintend will talk bad about other employees behind their back to other employees, then she will deny it. The list goes on and on. They have the highest turn-over rate I have ever seen. They are so desperate for people they will absolutely hire anybody. So if you get a job here you better watch your back and your personal belongings. Always have a recording device going when you are talking to someone because you will need it, woman on the field are always changing their stories, he said! she said! It was very hard to focus at work.
I think this company needs structure. And teamwork because there is no teamwork whatsoever if I was to rate this company it will be a zero.

Working as a Project Coordinator at AirX Utility Surveyors has been a truly rewarding experience. From day one, I felt supported by leadership and encouraged to take ownership of my projects. The company culture is collaborative and mission-driven, with a strong focus on safety, accountability, and professional growth.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with an amazing team that values clear communication and continuous improvement. Each day brings new challenges, but I’ve always had the tools, training, and encouragement to rise to the occasion.

What stands out most is the company’s commitment to its core values: Do What’s Right, Own It, Growth, and Stay Alert. These aren't just words on a wall—they're truly embedded in the day-to-day operations.

If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to be part of a company that values people as much as performance, this is a great place to grow your career.

A Journey of Growth and Dedication at AirX

I began my journey with AirX in 2020 as a push cam operator, and over the past five years, I've had the incredible opportunity to grow and evolve within the company, now serving as a regional manager. My love for AirX is deeply rooted in the company's commitment to its employees and the remarkable work-life balance it fosters, allowing our team to thrive both professionally and personally.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role is watching others grow and succeed. AirX truly puts its employees first, and I am proud to be part of a company that values and nurtures its workforce. With 24 years of experience, I have been able to share my knowledge and witness the transformation of AirX firsthand.

Our new CEO, who joined us two years ago, has been instrumental in driving our success. Her unwavering loyalty and hands-on approach have inspired us all to strive for excellence. She is always ready to jump in and assist with any task, demonstrating her commitment to building the best company possible.

Safety is a cornerstone of our operations, and we take immense pride in maintaining a safe and supportive environment for everyone. AirX has given me the opportunity to be part of a dynamic and caring team, and I am grateful for the growth and experiences I've had here.

Great place to work for go-getters.

I’ve been with the company for some time and have seen many strong employees over the years. In the past, some good workers left due to management challenges, and others retired earlier than expected. That said, the work environment has improved significantly under the current CEO.

The team is outgoing, respectful, and supportive. Field employees typically work a 4-day, 10-hour schedule (40 hours per week), which works well for those who can handle longer shifts.

Benefits are solid and include Kaiser health coverage, approved vacation requests, a competitive 401(k), and fair hourly pay. Employees are compensated appropriately, with wages generally above $30 per hour.

There is now greater transparency and a clearer sense of direction within the company. Training and certifications are provided, and employees are paid during training. The CCTV operators are experienced and do a great job supporting and training new employees.

Overall, the company is moving in a positive direction and is a good place to work for individuals willing to put in the effort. I’ve noticed a much better work-life balance, and my overall mindset and home life have improved significantly compared to the past.

You will smell open sewer lines all day, every day, and the compensation is not worth the effort. You will travel to the office every Monday in your personal vehicle so pack a bag for a week, and be prepared to stay in a hotel room with a roommate. They'll stress the importance of work life balance during the interview which really means they do not like paying overtime because you'll be away from home during the week. The manager believes there is only one style of management which is ignorant as there are many styles. Expect micromanagement. If you finish an assigned task they'll make sure as if you're some child. If someone complains about you for any reason, you'll get chewed out no questions asked without being afforded the right to confront your accuser and management will pick sides in lieu of mediating a resolution. The coworkers are easy going and easy to work with on the job. You can ask questions in the field and you'll receive answers in a respectfully, friendly manner. The work itself is messy but simple. You'll run a pushcam reel through sewer lines and record videos while another person locates the sonde and marks the line. 


A typical work day will consist of a brief safety meeting.
Decent starting pay if you have a CDL but hard earned with heavy manual labor. 
OK salary for non-CDL. (good luck getting a raise or even a review for that matter).
Unprofessional management. Constantly belittling and disrespecting employees.
Heavy favoritism. If you’re not a nephew, brother, sister, cousin... odds are you won’t get work. 
The worst part of the job is the lack of stable work. This company over hires! So, the senior members are forced to stay home (with no regard for their financial obligations) because now they have to share the work with the flood of new hires, which leaves the company with tons of disgruntled employees which leads to the very high turn around. In slow season which seems to be year round at this point you'll be lucky to work 2 to 3 days out of the week. ( The worst part is that the company doesn't care. as long as they're payed for the work this week they will have half the company off of work the next without batting an eye).
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR STABLE JOB TO JOIN THIS COMPANY.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the relationships you build with fellow employees.

Sacramento office
Personal Life/Work Balance
Absolutely Terrible

This company doesn't care about you as a person at all. You are literally a number. That's it. Got kids? They don't care. Want to just work 45 hours? Nope, non-negotiable. Do they tell you this upon hiring? Nope. they don't care about running you into the ground or your stress levels. Again, you are just a number.

If management acted like they cared more about the employee themselves versus a production number this place would be great.

The only pro was meeting some really cool co-workers.

Overall it was a very negative experience for me. I also did speak with my supervisor about my stress at the job and my concerns for work-life balance. Most I got back was "yes this is a stressful job or this job isn't for everyone".

Real lack of leadership here. ENTER if you dare. (or if you have no life). 

The people that do the push-cam & locating are hard-working but they constantly get flak from supervisor for the least little thing. It's like this company gets pleasure in firing people. The turnover is the highest I have ever seen in my life.

lets start with the good. The president was an absolute joy, she is so friendly and nice to everyone. the real issues is with who she has running the show. I worked here for a very short time, and I really enjoyed working here. my co-workers were nice and safety meetings were generally brief and to the point. I would have loved to continued to work here. however there is a 90 probation and in that 90 days they can fire you for ANYTHING, and that's just what happened to me. Funny because usually if you make a mistake someone will say something to you or correct you. NOPE, not here apparently. I got fired for bringing a safety issue to my supervisor's attention. I thought I was doing the right thing bringing it up to him but I guess not, the following week I was fired. other than bringing up the safety issue I hadn't done anything that could have even be considered major. At that point I took my final check and said "that isn't someone I wanna work for" so in closing sorry to say I was unimpressed. If I was to give any advice to the president it would be, be careful who you let run your departments because they are hurting your wallet.
