Typical day
Inspect log into and drive vehicle to job sight. Set up and insert camera and “pull slack” (co ax)while camera runs pipe. Pull camera out. Set up machine over manhole -unload and insert liner into machine. and install liner through pipeline. Assist liner at tail end of run to come out of the hole. Insert relief valve and start steam. Monitor liner as it hardens to specs. Cut pipe in both manholes to match old pipe.   Grout pipe ends. 
Pack up everything…rinse and repeat. Install and cook time vary and can be unpredictable. One run can take an hour or literally 15 hours depending on bypass requirements, and a bunch of other things. The hours are usually long. Breaks don’t happen unless The job allows. Sometimes a lot of hours without a restroom or break at all. 
What I believe I learned
I learned a lot.  About the liner, the install machine,  the remote robot camera…bypassing (pumps)
as well driving the different trucks. Backing up equipment. the boiler truck, steam, etc. Great experience. Especially the camera truck.
Management 
Management was very knowledgeable and organized. He was a jerk, always rushing and never really being satisfied. We got the jobs done and he paid correctly.  He and the other superintendents that I worked for were well above average in skill and knowledge. Hard to deal with but good at their job 
Workplace culture: 
Was basically just do what you are told. Don’t ask questions. Try to know what not to do the same as what to do. Be in at least 2 places at once, but don’t do anything that you might screw up because there’s no time. 
Our crew supervisor stayed outside this culture and trained me. Often at a cost of being scolded. He was the best exception to the standard culture  of our crew
Hardest part
The hardest part of the job was being,  or at least feeling inadequate and incapable of keeping up with the pace and expectations. The crew was  a lot more experienced and a bit intolerant of the learning curve. And physical limitations anyone had. (Just brute strength)
Most enjoyable 
the same crew was also the most enjoyable part of the job.  Seeing the job finished and being part of a team (well oiled machine). Everyone doing what they needed without being told and every part working like it should was very rewarding. Especially when installing was challenging and time consuming. And they were funny and fun when they weren’t under pressure. (We were almost always under pressure)

Overall, this a pretty decent company to work with. Like anywhere else, it’s not perfect, but you can definitely get a few years of stable employment here, and that’s more than what you can ask out of most companies. 

Downsides are with advancement. You had better negotiate your compensation with the next few years in mind, because you’re rest assured to not be getting anywhere beyond what you’ve been hired to be. However, for the money, it’s a pretty easy lifestyle. I never felt like I was overwhelmed, or asked to do the impossible. They’re based in the Midwest, which has a really good work culture compared to some of the more competitive markets in the Northeast and Southwest. 

For a mid level experienced employee, this is a great place to be. If you’re more of the 15+ yr senior level employee, you’ll probably become frustrated with the hierarchical gridlock, and ready to move on after 2-3 years. 

So depending on your needs, and what you value out of an employer, this company is worth checking out, at the very least.

Lots of traveling no such thing as a work life balance. They send you to small towns that have nothing there for MONTHS in extreme weather conditions and do not care what you got going on. No bonuses the only bonus you’re going to get is if you put in overtime which you most likely would every week. 

Company works you like a dog and do not care if you’re old, it’s usually the guys in suits at a desk who tell you what your plans are for the next few months not being able to see your family. 

The only benefit there is working for this disgusting job is the money you make but realistically it’s still not enough compared to other trade jobs. 

For a company that makes BILLIONS not millions, BILLIONS, all workers that are doing labor make barely anything and don’t look forward to a raise either even if you get covered in human waste. Oh but atleast they pay your hotel when you’re away from home for months. It’s the least they can do right? MISERABLE COMPANY THAT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR WORKERS 

A typical day is spent on mainly one production line that you are assigned to. If that line runs out of work you can be moved to one of the others to help out. You only get a 45 minute lunch in a ten hour shift and no food is allowed on the floor. The work week is based on four ten hour days (Mon.-Thur.) but most of the time Fridays and Saturdays are required and the overtime is mandatory. The management team leaves a lot to be desired. They are self serving and closed minded. The hardest part of the job is putting up with the poor planning. Management only seems happy when you are working six days a week and they won't tell you that you've done a good job ever. There are little to no internal advancement opportunities. I would not recommend anyone to work here unless it was the only job you could find.

Working with the project manager to process subcontractor invoices during the month. During month end processing, working with the other regional accounting administrators to update the backlog information using excel for the month and providing an updated accounts receivable across the East region (Texas to New England).  I learned additional Excel skills - Vlookups & Pivot tables.  I enjoyed helping others with Excel, etc.  The most difficult part of the job was working in an office with basically just one other person (the project manager).  The area controller works from home so I was not aware of the business from her perspective.

I started there, and there was absolutely no onboarding process. I sent multiple emails asking for training and help to my manager (mind you she was the only other person who knew how to do my role) which went unanswered. I requested meetings on her calendar which she declined/never responded to. When I did something wrong, it was my fault and was told that if I don't know what to do I need to ask questions. After 3 weeks of getting no where with this manager, I went to HR to ask for more help and support. HR was on my side until a week later when the same HR rep and my manager came in and fired me due to "poor performance". All of this after I was asking for help, and nobody would give any inkling of attention to the new hire working in a new industry.

Overall good, solid place to work. 
Really depends on management as far as how much folks enjoy their jobs or not.   Some old school methods are still be implemented that shouldn't be.   Pay is not competitive,  especially in the Operation group and the field.  As others said, management has poor communication across the board and no one knows what is happening a lot of the time.  Not replacing employees let go or that leave, make others absorb the position with no additional compensation.   Turnover high in the field.  Like everyone everywhere,  short staffed.   Lots of long term employees and almost everyone is willing to help.  Recently newer management and executives have been a positive change so far.  

Extremely busy construction office.  

I handled all aspects of contracts, subcontracts, accounts payables, accounts receivables, new hire paperwork, drug screening and insurance information.  I kept vast records and files on over 100 jobs running concurrently with little to no supervision.  I participated in weekly financial balance calls with the project manager and monthly financial projection/recap meetings with the board of directors, the project manager, field engineers and CEO.  I answered all phone calls and routed mail and email to the appropriate people. I assisted in hiring my assistant as well as training and guidance.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Many resources available to employees. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pressure from management and unsafe working conditions 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mediocre at best. Communication from management to employees is weak.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive early, begin working on morning tasks, hope to achieve target work deadlines to avoid being publicly reprimanded.

You will have no life. 12 hour days, 7 days a week, threats of disciplinary action if you refuse OT. Management does not communicate well with employees regarding schedule, policies and requests for better working conditions/environment. Management is seldom at work to help employees with work related issues. This place is only worth working for out of desperation and need. If you have a family or like weekends, this place is not for you. If you have no life, no kids, and want to slowly move up by kissing butt everyday...this place is for you.
