Caddell Construction

My typical work day would generally started off with a daily walk from our villa through the local community able to enjoy interacting with the local Mauritanians, having breakfast at a local coffee shop and then proceeding on to work. Once at work we conduct a morning meeting with the Site Lead of what task were needing completion either by the end of the work day which could be 12 to 14 hours or at least completed by the end of the work week which would be on a Saturday. During my first two weeks there I learn how to mix, pour, and level concrete. Cut expansion gaps in between concrete walls using large diamond tip cutting blades. I learn how to frame a wall out lay sheet rock. My second month I was promoted to be the Site Security Area Manage(SSA) do to my extensive back ground in the military doing warehouse supply operations and procurement. My responsibilities receiving of secure containers full of building materials that have been shipped from USA under high level security shipment. Beside having Cleared American Works(CAW) I also managed local works who were authorized access into the SSA. The work environment was always neat, clean, personal protective equipment(PPE) always worn at all times. Daily operations conducted in timely manner with 0% mishaps during my 14 month tenure. The hardest part of the job would be like any overseas job is missing family and the holidays. The most enjoyable part of the jobs besides seeing the construction from start to finish was the camaraderie which was one of the most important to have on any job site learning to trust and support each other focusing on the common goal for which we are all there to complete.

Caddell Construction has been making some productive management changes recently to satisfy the request of their client and to improve job productivity and moral.  

While the living conditions were not good for this particular project, and the site management staff was very challenging, these factors are being addressed and I look forward to seeing what Caddell has done to improve conditions.  Probably the most challenging aspect of the project was working with the JV partner with whom Caddell normally contracts with.  

Caddell has been awarded some key projects recently, which improves their position with the client, and hopefully provides them an opportunity to continue making productive changes, which would certainly change my review of them, as well.

Caddell's domestic construction side has always been known as one of the best.

Caddell Construction was an ideal place to work. They have competent, well trained management.  Job safety was no joke and they make sure all hirees are well-trained, even if they only work in the offices. 

I learned that although we have job descriptions, we assist each other in their jobs if needed; all employed a very good effort to raise up workers to a higher standard.

The hardest part of the job was the red-tape involved in getting security clearances for the job-site contract workers from the Government agencies. 

I most enjoyed bringing in homemade desserts for all to enjoy, because these men like snacks and I like making them for others. Cookies were not a bad word in this office.

Love working on these projects overseas.
Give me a sense of pride to work on these US Embassy buildings.

All in All, I have been with my company for 18 years, I would not want to go any where else.

The project comes first.

The Joint Naval Nuclear Power Training Facility Project had the right Contruction Company for the job.. Caddell demands the most of it's employees.
If you're not going to be able to give your all this not the Company for you. the conditions are very rough and contruction in the beginning. However their projects are you see for the military or the US government...  Nothing but the best for our veterans.. Safety focused: Caddell talks the talk, and walks the walk.
However there are lot things you would have to get accustomed to working in construction.

Enjoyable consistent work environment with some of the most talented people in the industry. If you have a good work ethic Caddell is the right place to work and learn from your co-workers. Typical work day 7:00 to 4:00 M-F. Hardest part of the job was managing multiple international projects with hundreds of suppliers and getting material to each jobsite to ensure construction schedule is not delayed.

The days are consistent Some weekend work required. The company is goal oriented. The crews work well together. Management is competent. The hardest part of the projects are schedule changes with little forewarning in mission. The most enjoyable attributes to the company are the persons assigned to the projects.

I enjoyed my job at Caddell Construction Co. I enjoy the work life balance. As long as you get the job done, you can enjoy your position. I didn't enjoy my supervisor. He was a micro-manager who feared perception of himself. He felt that he had to control everything and be involved with everything. If it was something that you didnt include him, he would berate and belittle you especially if you are a female

I was the administrative manager in a field construction office.  The position was limited since when the project was complete I knew I would be terminated.  While there, I was treated well by the field staff and was able to travel to the main office in Alabama for additional training and to meet the staff.  The Caddell family was very professional and hard working.
