We start our morning out with a daily safety meeting which includes the days objectives. After that it is basically non-stop labor whether it be constant lifting and moving of material, structure assembly, cutting material, mechanical work, and operating machinery. I was already very knowledgeable with the type of work but have learned a great value for safety and also staying in a constant routine. The Superintendent and Foreman of the job are very good at keeping everyone their full capacity of work load without burning anyone out and also keeping the work area safe. The co-workers were very experienced and helpful throughout the entire job. The thing I enjoyed the most was the overall experience of commercial construction as well as pushing the limits of what I am capable of achieving though-out the week.

A typical day at work involves meeting with your foreman and crew, having a safety meeting, then getting a permit for the work you and your crew are completing at the plant. Then you set up your air monitor, radio, and logs. You will open the Confined Space for the workers and will log them in and out of the Confined Space. I learned more about various safety concerns the workers should or shouldn't be doing and who at the ICT to report unsafe acts or bad attitudes. The other Confined Space attendants can be mean and rude sometimes. That was the hardest part of the job, if any. Steady work. I always got my 40 hours. If a project ends you can make up hours at the shop. 

There were no shutdowns to work. At first working there I was only working part time. Was there for about a year and 3 months. After being with the company I became part of a maintenance crew and worked 40-50 hours a week at one location throughout my whole last year. The hours are not much at 1st. When they hire you they will let you know that they will keep you local with part time to full time hours ( as a csa, anyways). I am a single mother and it was good for me to stay local. Never had to work nights. Everyone for the most part was nice. But people can be messy most the times. Especially the other females if they feel threatened by you.

This job offers competitive pay and solid benefits, which makes it attractive for anyone looking to earn good money quickly. The work itself is manageable, and the company does provide opportunities to learn new skills.

However, the biggest downside is job security. Layoffs happen frequently, sometimes with little warning, which creates stress and uncertainty. It’s not the best option if you’re looking for long-term stability or to build a career with one company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing but lies here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All managers. You are just a number

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They expect you to stay gone from home year round. You have no home life

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work in all elements. Get job done no matter what it costs you.

Theres a lot of racism, favoritism, no comunication at all, poor managment in the offices and with some superintendents and project managers, and they always contradicting themselfs management not on the same page and the employees are the ones getting blame for management mistakes.

I had the pleasure of shadowing construction managers, safety managers, project managers, account managers, and even got to visit a few sites to meet superintendents. Any kind of experience you could get in an internship these guys gave you the opportunity to achieve it.

My very first job jumping into the construction industry and I was so nervous but go the hang of the job and challenges it came with. Quite a bit of travel got to experience new places and towns never been. Awesome start to those who are looking for a career in construction industry. 

ICT does qualitt, safe work and many of our clients in the Houston area will not cinsider using a competitor . The supervisors are well trained and dedicated to empliyee safety.
