I was Shop Coordinator/Manager for Pipeline type Projects. I would work with Shell, BP, Chevron, INEO's Marathon Oil etc...
Making sure what ever we are Fabricating for the Client is completed in the time frame discussed at Pre-Fabrication meeting. 
I worked close with QC to make sure the quality of the pipe fabrication is per spec. I would keep our Project Manager informed on a daily basis and I would also write weekly reports for them to be reviewed. Everyday I would work very close with Fabrication shop and management there so they were feed what they needed from our Engineering Department. I would help answer all RFIs and I would try and get all SFN(Stop Fabrication notices) accounted for. I wanted to make sure there was no bottle neck anywhere in the process. I would eventually get a full load(Delivery) to ship to the Jobsite(Where Shell or BP is building the industrial Structure...)
When we would ship the last "spool"  to the site we would close out the job and move onto the next one, I traveled a lot for S&B to make sure we had success on many projects. I loved working with all the different parties, I love being professional and love to make it happen,
I was laid off November 17th 2016 due to the oil prices and the industry taking a big hit. I sure look forward to seeing it get back to where it was.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Well , I think about that,  is the organization of the CREWS , when they start to work and Doing Well , and get the great communication with everyone  Work Teams . Obviously we advance with the job and start to Turnover the page and start another job , according the ISOMETRIC  Page or Continuing with the same Isometric Paper .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Really Nothing is Stressing , when people enjoy and love the job that we doing always as pipefitter . I have been working with this company many times and I never seen something make me uncomfortable .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well,  the environment always is good because working with S&B is like to be with family members . Because we seen each others in another’s projects . And become like a family . I think is a great Company and good benefit at future 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day to me , it is good when I show up on the morning , and see my Cooworkers always with good attitude to be useful. And also when show up inside of project you see the General Foremans , foremans, with good attitude to see again the people ready to work . And make comfortable to everyone to be on the project .

A typical day involved reviewing e-mail communications concerning current project work and determining the day's work priorities and meetings schedule. Interfacing with the process team and process lead. Provide timely input to P&IDs and to discipline groups.
The Process Department manager has minimal direct contact with individual process engineers as he has over 100 process engineers and specialists. He is able to manage this group through use of process leads which he meets with bi-weekly to review ongoing projects and pending project staffing. The leads disseminate this as needed to project process personnel.
Co-wokers are generally cooperative and pleasant to work with.
The hardest part of the job is usually in prioritizing work to meet schedule especially when working multiple small projects.
The enjoyable part of the job is in a sense of accomplishment when all deliverables have been completed and the project is successfully built and started up.

This is a great company to work for if you can make a name for yourself.  Some of the folks are a bit cliquish but if you can play nice then you should be just fine.  I worked for them for 6 years and loved (85%) and hated (15%) it.  I started out as a Pipefitter Helper with S&B and then moved though the ranks all the way to the position of Project Scheduler in 6 years with NO nepotism or (undeserved/unearned) favoritism.  The reason I am no longer with this is simply because I was shuffled out of my department and into another project when one of our contracts came to a close.  I did not have the fortune of fairing so well in the new planning position, thus I was released.

No hard feelings its just business.  However, beware, they will do anything and I do mean anything to please a client.  They got to the point of asking me to produce documents that would have been a complete fabrication, just to please the client.  I do not deal in such business.  NOTHING leaves my desk unless it is correct.  They could not provide ANY data to build a workable package, thus my position was unnecessary.

Nevertheless,  I do not regret it and I would be willing to work for them yet agian.

The company at this site has really gone down hill.  This site in particular has in the past been praised for the exemplimary job we do for the client.  Over the past year, most have had to work a reduced schedule due to client spending.  Once the new year set in, we were told that our already diminishing workload was going to be lightened by sending work overseas.  This upset many people obviously. To add insult to injury.  We were all gathered together in a conference room and told how good of a job we've been doing and how low the rework has been, only to be met with a 10% cut in pay and a cut from our paid holidays.  Management said that in order to get another contract with the client here, this is what it would take.  Addition by subtraction.  The morale here has greatly been diminished by all the cuts we've had to endure, and most are looking for work elsewhere. I've put in hard work and a lot of dedication and loyalty to this company only to be slapped in the face and spit on by having work taken from me and given to someone overseas for the sake of saving a few bucks, and have my pay reduced. Not happy here anymore.

I am tired of adding information-there is nothing else to add
Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, everywhere that mary went the lamb was sure to go.
When in the course of human events,, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected themwith another and to affirm among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of a nnature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind declare that they shoud define the causes which impel them to the separation.

Responsible for 13 building and warehouses, each day check all energy management systems and assure proper temps for a proper work environment.  Check previous days work assignments and PM's for completion, and status.  Check any pending service calls and meeting with vendors.  S & B is a very safety oriented company and that taught me about being much more observant for safety and to prevent accidents.  Management was demanding and fair.  Good mixture of the motivated and inexperienced a lot of fun to be able pass on my skills to both, good crew.  Being pulled by 13 locations at times made it very difficult to keep up on all details, my crew has become very attentive thru our training.  Being able to work around men and women who have a dynamic view of the oil and plant service construction industry, learned a lot from there diligence.

A typical day at work consisted up updating Email first thing in the morning, organizing work for the day, meeting with discipline leaders, resolving issues as they arose in design or changes in project scope, occasional formal project review meetings with Disciplines- usually bi-weekly- but more often as required, meeting with the Eastman customers - not formal meetings, but several per week,
preparing project progress reports, drawing/design reviews, approvals and issuing the same, preparing scopes for estimating on new projects and reporting scope and estimates to the Eastman Customers, bi-weekly project update reports to the Customer.

A typical day was a group safety meeting, and all important information about the job and safety. I learned a very structured work plan. Management at the top was great, management at the lower level was rude and crude without any interaction, suggestions, or assistance provided. The work culture was still at an old mindset, and less team work. Hardest part of the job not having full control of work progress processes. Also not having control of heavy equipment as needed. Assistant and superintendent level not very good at people skills. Avoided most contact with him. Most enjoyable; working with young personnel that were willing to listen and learn as much as possible. Some co-workers and sub-ordinates   appreciated the help and made workload a lot easier.
