Brasfield & Gorrie

I log in submittals, RFIs (request for information), ASIs (architect's supplimental information), CCDs (construction change directive), DBEs (diversity business enterprise - minority and women owned businesses as well as small business licenses) and field reports.  I also took part in creating and assembled Monthly Reports for the client as well as the company.
I am responsible for updating 7 volumes of drawings for 20 different people ranging from the Lead Superintendent, Field Superintendents, Field Engineers, Project Managers and general plan room.
I also distributed electronically and by hard copy all RFIs, ASIs, CCDs and field reports to all prime sub-contractors.
This all involved a lot of multitasking and self-starting.  I liked being busy all the time.  I had a few breaks inbetween updates which were enough of a rest before starting all over again.

I was a co-op working with Brasfield & Gorrie and worked with them for three separate semester. Working with them was a great experience! I was able to gain work experience as a Project Manager in both the office and on site, and I also had the opportunity to work in the field. My first semester I came in with no construction experience but everyone at Brasfield & Gorrie is eager to teach you what you do not know while also seeking to challenge you to better yourself. They have a great safety culture, as it is their first core value, and I was able to see how serious they took safety by working out in the field myself. Brasfield & Gorrie is a great company and it would be an honor for anyone to be able to work with them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They treat you like family . Valued their employees. BEST place I ever worked. I only left to move back to Connecticut to be near family.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Learning about all the job sites ( and there were many) and the people working on each one.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
EXCELLENT, love this company. Very employee oriented and their safety.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy but pleasant. I was fortunate enough to have many co-workers assist me when needed. I greeted incoming visitors and answered all calls directing to the proper department or person. Assisted anyone when needed. Kept a record of the employees (in the Atlanta office) of their name, address, names of their family member and their birthdays (sent out birthday cards out each month).

Starting out I was told that there were several other jobs in the area that would be available after the Omni OKC  project was completed and was continuously told that throughout the project. Those were all lies and were only being told to keep the workers there until the job was done. Two weeks before Christmas I was handed my papers and was told the other jobs were put on hold, to this day there are still no other jobs from B&G. As the project went on, the breaks got shorter and sometimes non existent, you were there to work. For Christmas one year someone in the office made a mistake and sent out a party invitation to all of the B&G employees and then the management spent the next week trying to cover it up so they could have a nice night at the casino with what was supposed to be given to the employees. 

A typical day consisted of around ten hours of work input on the job site. I learned nearly every process in the industry during my short tenure as an intern. B&G sincerely wants their employees to succeed and they give them the tools, people, and training to get the job done. The culture can best be described as what was previously stated: success. Teamwork is a must, and the majority of the employees interact in a positive, efficient manner. The hardest part of the job is the stresses of management and holding true to the schedule for the project. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to be a part of a team of driven people that share a similar goal and will find a way to succeed in an efficient and ethical way.

Interning with this company has given me the chance to gain experience in the Building Construction career field. They offer multiple  career paths that involve both office and onsite activity. As an intern I was able to work alongside engineers that were more than willing to help me and show me how to use/apply programs such as Latista, Bluebeam Revu, Excel and more. You will never fill like a stranger working for this company due to the friendly inviting environment created by ALL employees. Brasfield & Gorrie also pays interns well. They implement a 3 year rotation that allows you to gain experience during your college career!

All hands meeting to go over safety and the day's job site changes. Get with crew for a brief overview of my crew task for the day. Fuse and lay hdp pipe 40ft at a time using a fuse machine with facer and heating iron. Forman oversees progress throughout the day. i learned how to put in many different types of pipe, how to run different pieces of equipment. My co-workers were for the most part helpful and easy to work with.The hardest part of my job is grading the ditches that the pipe is going to be laid into. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work outside and learn so many new things.

It's a good place to work at and good peoples to work for I've learned a lot by working with bradfield and Glory they treat me right and respectable they teach you what you need to know respectable they come by and check on you making sure that you good and you have to go by the safety rules which is good I feel good when I come to work and feel Energizer when I come to work if I don't know anything of what I'm doing I go and ask so I will know what I'm doing I love working for bradfield and Glory

There is a wide difference between working at the corporate office and on a job site.  The principals of the company aren't necessarily followed onsite.  Key personnel either understand or simply didn't respect my position and made job much more difficult than it should have been. The jobsite I was on was less professional and more good ole boy.  The long term employees are taken more seriously than local hires.  I had great support from corporate in regards to my specific job, very little onsite support.

Loved working at Brasfield & Gorrie. Ran the entire office and communicated with corporate office daily. Each project was different. Often worked with different project managers and superintendents which even though at times challenging, it was very educational and was able to learn a lot and share my skills and knowledge. There was a lot of traveling involved at that time. Really enjoyed that as well. Over all, EXCELLENT experience!
