Days start with safety and instructual meetings. Pre work and the days expectations. Job assignments. work is performed throughout the day. We have post-job briefing for work status and completions.
Focusing on safety gives you a learning experience every day. as the scope of work changes so do the safety especst of the job. I like that, it keeps the mind focused in the correct area. Safety first.
Co-workers are working for the common goal of the daily assignment and being team players just makes it all come together.
Some days are harder than others as we are a union shop and those union issues sometime change the focus of the days activities.
Best part is when we set our goals and then meet them. We give pizza partys to the crews for there jobs well done. Alittle somthing to show them that they are more than just employees.

Typically, I receive document requests to write, revise, and process procedures, plans, policies, guides, specifications, and standards.

I have learned document management, technical competency in various functional areas, and how to motivate others, including subject matter experts, working together on the same team to work hard to accomplish a common goal.  I have also learned how to train others on software and process.

The hardest part about the job is the dependence the process requires the writer to place on others to process documents.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with diverse coworkers with varied backgrounds and I also enjoy how much freedom I have to manage my work from start to finish.

Many "castles" have been built by the lifers, and the project struggles to progress as a result. This flows into all aspects of the project including administration, technology, engineering, construction and everything in between. You will need extreme patience. 

Aside from very minimal annual salary increases (~2%), the site tends to take a seniority-based approach to promotions and salary increases instead of merit-based. 

That said, it's a relatively low-stress environment and work/life balance is pretty nice; managers tend to be easy to work with. 

Rest assured that once you are hired, you are unlikely to ever be lose your position unless you choose to leave; the site suffers from a perpetual hiring shortage and so firings/layoffs are reserved only for egregious violations. 

Job Work/Life Balance -is what you make it.

Compensation/Benefits - the pay is extremely good for this area!

Job Security/Advancement- If you put in the work and effort you will get noticed, with that being said advancement opportunities are always available and it is your choice to pursue the opportunity when it presents itself!

Management- Always room for improvement, but we have a very diverse competent staff that strives consistently for improvement.

Job Culture- It is what it is, you either adapt and conquer or resist change make yourself miserable to the point you find another job and or remain a negative grumpy employee.

Overall
My experience working at Fluor Corp. was bad

I have worked with FBP for 4 years, and during these years I have advanced from Senior Contract Administrator to Contract Supervisor. I am currently working in Construction Contracting. I enjoy working in construction, even though it can be stressful at times. 

The hardest part of the job is the inability to plan, because of the doubt of funding. But this is the same frustration when working with the government. 

My Manager is good to work with, he is understanding that his employees not only work but also have a family.

Employees are required to work long hours in poorly lit and dirty environments.  When safety issues are raised, the person raising the issues is chastised for speaking out about the unsafe conditions.  Good ole boy network and labor union environment.  Management is only concerned about pleasing DOE and getting their completion bonuses, hence the reason for working their employees 12 hour per day, 5 days per week and most weekends.

Worse place to work in US.

I enjoyed working for FPDP. They gave me opportunities to prove myself and gain experiences at new levels and at a new site. I appreciate the opportunities and have enjoyed the new challenges. They gave me the chance and support needed to succeed. Every day was a challenge but I always had a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

Fluor has a flexible work schedule and work/life balance.  Job advancement is somewhat difficult to achieve as they tend to bring in people from other locations instead of hiring within.  New Job training could be more structured.  Management is easy to work with tends to leave you to make the right decisions.

Good ol boys get promoted above experienced and higher qualified people. Your taught to stay silent to keep your job and put production first and not raise concerns that impact personal safety or cause harm to the environment. They pay production folks much higher wages than the safety oversight personnel.
