Ledcor

What is the best part of working at the company?
Ledcor understands that we get opportunities to go work through mines its self. They are a multi chance company. They range in different varieties of fields in construction work and mining. They will certify you and train you for the job and you get pay while you’re going to class. They pay good they aren’t awesome company to work for.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
While working at Ledcor, I found nothing that was stressful to me. I think the closest thing that might relieve, stressful wise was training, new operators, how to run equipment but I found there was no stress it would be the other people you’re training to run heavy equipment that would make it stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a clean and sober working environment

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing my walk around around the Hall trucks checking to make sure all the fluids were topped off no holes in the tires and get up in my whole truck and run loads either to the leech pad or the waste dump in writing down your time every time you gotta load

This was the best job I ever had and then a huge disappointment. Very much an up and down place depending on what your doing. 

Hired in to a specific job site and task. Received minimal initial training and relied on the job training done through messenger(always behind the problem). They rather pay for a skilled person then invest in their current employees. Management forgets about you except for monthly billing and reporting. No real long term planning for people, very much the jump around mining atmosphere.

Vacation is a joke, your work will be right there when you get back. You will end up working holidays. Long hours for no reason, really no reason... 

Safety is what you make of it, you can run a safe job or pencil whip the whole deal. Expect over reaction and then spending weeks trying to implement changes before everything reverts back. 

BENEFITS BE WARNED! US EMPLOYEES
No double coverage! High deductible for healthcare(five thousand)! Dental covers basics, be prepared to pay for a cracked tooth. Really poor coverage for having children (high birthing costs).

If you are ready to undergo a complete lifestyle change, be 100% responsible for your own income and success, this is the opportunity for you. If you are looking to turn up to a 9-5 job and go home to sit on the coach this is not the job for you and you most likely won't be successful here. Ledcor benefits those who adapt to it's unique culture, those who are willing to give 100% commitment to reach a high level of both personal growth and a high income. Whether or not you choose to stick with it, Ledcor will open up an entirely new perspective on life and success for you. Although my own personal time at Ledcor was a rollercoaster of amazing high points and rock bottom low points I highly recommend going though this experience.

A typical day consists of mine site inspections, data entry from all inspections of management team, Site training for vendors, vendor inspections, accident investigations, drug testing and MSHA Certification training.

I learned the requirements set forth to a contractor working on a mine site which I had not been a part of before.

Management team struggled working with the other contractors on site.

Co-workers were mixed.  Since it was a new mine, in a small town, many were fighting for survival.  This contractor had a history of hiring at a low wage bringing in the inexperienced operators with a small amount of experienced on site.  This caused unsafe acts to occur and many did not trust the management team.

The hardest part of this job was working in an environment where the management team openly did not want me on site.

The most enjoyable part of the job was conducting inspections with the owners and the other contractors.

Work cancelled due to cold.  Fly in fly out.  Forced to stay in camp without pay for 30hrs.  Flights are flying, but given the late flight to drive at night in winter.  They preach safety but I guess that doesn't matter!  Management is poor at best (Foremen down are ok) upper management lacks the skill to succeed.  Organization as a whole is deplorable!  This is my second time giving ledcor a chance as the first time management was terrible too!  After this they officially beat pcl as the worst company.  Then they wonder why they can't get any good tradesmen.  There's plenty of tradesmen they're just tired of being treated like garbage working miles from home to try and make a living for their families!  Shame on ledcor and if I can give you some advice....avoid them at all costs if you can!

Administrative assistant managing over 100 company vehicles. Constant coordination with technicians and their managers for vehicle repairs, purchase, upfitting and disposal. I liked the safety culture, and enjoyed working with everyone that I worked with. I learned a lot about safety at worksites and situational awareness. The hardest part was not ever knowing what was going on, who reported to whom, and the constant reorganizations within the corporate side of the company and the US operations. There were several admin positions that were allowed to work from home. Management told us that they had to let us go because customer service staff that applied to, lived near and worked in the Pflugerville office complained about them not being able to work from home. I don't think that was the real reason we were let go, but that's the reason we were given.

Ledcor was a short term opportunity. I loved the people I worked with and the industry. I learned a whole new skill st and it was awesome. The manager that hired me left a week after I started and I didn't have much interaction with the new manager. Once a month or so and very rarely said more than good morning. 
The training I had when I was hired was superb, the women that trained me was very professional, and detail oriented. She worked in another state, but was available to me on Skype any time for support once I started.
I was there only a few months when I was asked to compile a training Power Point and train a a new vendor on how to use the software we used for downloading project information. I was happy for the opportunity. The vendor was very happy with the training and I was thanked for making them happy. 
 Overall I would work for Ledcor again, in a minute.

My experience here was a complete waste of time. I was told upon hiring I would receive all the equipment I need and a company vehicle. They never gave any of those things. There was more Techs than there was equipment, so I would spend my days watching someone else work all day. Management is an Absolute joke. Most days I would have no idea where the jobsite was going to be or if we were even working at all. Employees will treat you like an outsider and if you arent "In" you never will be. You will be disrespected and degraded, If you say anything to defend yourself...there goes your job. The worst part of all is YOU WILL NEVER be paid your whole check. Every pay period they would miss hours and you will have to wait til the next pay period to get the rest of your last check. Absolutely HORRIBLE....DO BETTER LEDCOR!

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was nothing positive about working for them. Management behave as entitled children. No clear goal and no clear understanding of the job. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Every time there was a surprise drug test management changed. Not for the better.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Romper room on steroids. Management has no idea how to operate a business. Management lacks in management skills.  There are people working on 400 ton haul trucks that don’t even own a toolbox. I can’t make this up! It’s an extremely toxic workplace. No I’m not lazy. Yes I do my job. The whole thing was a train wreck.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I quit! No one knew what the h$!l
was going on! There was no clear directive! All management could do was accuse everyone of not doing their job!

A Canadian company working in Hawaii... talk about culture clash! A $750 million project; Work would start with a management meeting at 5am; safety meeting with trades; inspections, validations, plans review, and corrections all done within a few hours before a million dollar concrete pour and a complete floor done every two days. In four years there were 1.5 million square feet completed for a two tower, 13-story luxury beach side condominium complex. Zero non-conformances and zero lost-time accident was due to the extreme and complete control we had as the construction management team. An amazing experience and a great sense of achievement in seeing people happily spend $900,000 to $19,000,000 on an condominium home that I helped build.
