Amphibious-Medics

Amphibious Medics is a great place to work. They have many things to do and construction sites are an interesting part of the job. Terence C. is a well balanced supervisor who will always treat you like you count. They have a good balance of work, fun and family.  I love my job with them and have even had my daughter apply.   The typical day at Amphibious Medics on a construction site goes something like this: You arrive on the site, check out your gear and make sure it is all there. Inventory of supplies is done and then you check in with the site safety superintendents and prepare to do the stretch and flex with the employees on the site. Then it's time for orientation and possibly drug screening of the new hires on site. Once this is done, it's time to pick up the backpack and do the required rounds of the building to make sure you're seen by the crews in the event that they may need something. If someone needs anything and you are up in the building or out of the office on site, the safety superintendent may call you to your office to triage an individual and document the injury or illness. You will be required to send the appropriate paperwork to the correct people and this includes Terence. If you have any trouble with these things, there is always someone available to help you via phone. They never yell or threaten you if you have issues. This is truly a great company to work for! The friendly environment in a chaotic atmosphere (a construction site) is one I can feel comfortable with.

Working as a set medic has been an incredibly rewarding experience, with each production site offering unique and dynamic work environments. Almost every production site I've worked on has been fantastic. Amphibious, in particular, ensured that my gear was always well-stocked and provided excellent support for my role. This made me feel confident and well-prepared for any situation.

I appreciated the independence I had while working at job sites, knowing exactly who to contact in case of any issues or emergencies. This balance of autonomy and support made my job both enjoyable and fulfilling.

One downside is the limited number of local productions, which impacts job security. Despite this, being a set medic has been a great and well-paying side gig while pursuing my studies and working more permanent jobs.

One major upside is the downtime. I was able to spend a significant amount of time studying for nursing school while simultaneously providing first-aid standby for productions.

I plan to maintain my EMT license and occasionally work in film/TV production as I advance in the medical field. The experience, connections, satisfaction I gain from this role are truly invaluable.



What is the best part of working at the company?
My duties as a paramedic ,  first responder giving emergency care to those who get hurt or injured basically any life threatening occurrence I provide prehospital care  performed ,  upon arrival to the hospital . it’s the feeling of the satisfaction that you get when you have helped someone in a emergency situation so with Amphibious Medics my duties was perform on construction workers basically throughout the New York city area.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The worst stressful does not exist in my vocabulary. It is something I’ve been doing for so long that I acquired the proficiency and the mental stability of performing my job as a paramedic through stressful situations. It does not affect me and my performance and acquiring my duties as a medic.

Positive productive atmosphere with multicultural colleagues we share one Common goal is to save lives one of the best places to work at

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Emergency response is our day-to-day work performing our duties that we are certified to do

The management allows mostly per diem work. You are amongst hundreds of people trying to select per diem shifts; first come first serve basis. AND when you select a shift they often call you and pull you off from the schedule at any given notice! Even if you get lucky to pick a full schedule; they will find a way to bump you off from the schedule. Most EMT's talk to one another and share their experiences in between shifts-it's the same schtick. They sometimes offer  an EMT a full time position and then yank them off with excuses. A big let down and you can not rely on them for income. Promises after promise to work as full time but never follow through and call you. Many medics fault show upper their shift or constantly call in sick - you are filling in for these folks. Most construction sites are fed up with the management. Thankfully I left a great impression with construction companies and got offered full time work with them. Good luck with this untrustworthy worthy company, you are just a rotating wheel for them, they don't care about you - it's about the money !   

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great pay 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working 12 hour days 6 days a week an not able to take a day off without scheduling it a few weeks in advance at a minimum. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment seems ok . Just depends on what site or job u're doing for them because your the only employee there most of the time 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up at 5 am to be at work at 6 am. Do stretch an flex at 6am to 630 am. Then meeting with safety an look at huddle boards otherwise know as ptp boards. Then walk the site an talk with the crews an find out how there doing , if they wanted a wellness check or if there where any safety concerns. Then go to the office an wait on injury's if they happened I would treat them an then do paperwork an reports. Lunch would set up in the lunch tent an do health an wellness checks. Then after lunch repeat the morning routine in the afternoon an then go home at 6pm

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly.... getting to see cool stuff on construction sites. This company has treated me very well, and been very flexible with my schedule when needed. Helping me to maintain a good work/life balance.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some may consider this stressful, however, I do not. Just like working on a 911 ambulance, construction sites are always changing. Sites evolve daily. Projects are completed, and new ones are added to the schedule. Every day is different.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In one word, inclusive. Both within the company and on site.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive on site, check equipment, attend Stretch and Flex, interact with site management and employees, walk the site, attend meetings, treat employees (if needed), walk the site, check equipment, head home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Over all no micromanagement.  Once you are established at a work site, management is hands off SO LONG AS you are doing your job, showing up for work, arriving on time, and being able to complete your work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Contract work - which means once the contract ends, your out of a job.  Companies can fire a subcontractor any time they want - so do your job well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hands off approach - you have to contact them, they will not contact you unless management is looking for you, or the job site complained about you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of drug screening for new sub contractors at the job site.  Being available to respond to calls for help as needed on job site.  Mostly easy days, but some days are very long.

The work environments (large construction sites) are unique and rewarding. The companies I worked with (Skanska and Lend Lease have their stuff together and are amazing coworkers.) The pay is decent.

However, communication with your superiors is almost non-existent. Your schedule can be changed at a moments notice without anyone telling you. The scheduling software they use (wheniwork) is constantly screwing itself up. I am without shifts and have heard jack from anyone. In addition, my pay is now over two weeks late with no word from the higher ups. 

Steer clear if you can. If you want to work industrial medicine, find another company. I am very disappointed in how Amphibious Medics treats their employees.

This company talks a big game, but really they have no idea what they are doing. I worked as a Set Medic on a motion picture production for them. The company has no idea what they are doing when it comes to motion pictures or what a Set Medic actually does. I was grossly underpaid, to the point that it actually cost me money to be there. The company refused to pay a kit fee (in fact, they had no idea what a kit fee was when I asked about it), so everything that I used on set came out of my pocket. The manager was very nice, but it was very obvious that they did not have any business in that arena.

A few weeks into the show I found out that the company was actually charging production almost double what they were paying me and pocketing the difference.

Great job with great people. Although there's not much tolerance for slackers, I've seen a few get terminated quite quickly.  They expect you to be self motivated and capable of operating with limited supervision. 

The construction sites and media sets are a great change from riding a rig and offer exposure to the industrial safety and media environments. I've worked on both and have always been paid as agreed or sooner. Once I went full time, full benefits kicked in. 

I'm pretty sure the negative reviews are from bad apples that got fired for not cutting it.
