Swinerton knows how to take care of their people. We work very long hours on difficult projects but we are payed very well and have excellent benenfits. There is no doubt that you will work hard at Swinerton but if you need a day off, you can take it. The weekend work is usually optional. 

I've found that there are many different jobs within Swinerton and people quickly fall into the job that suits them. If work is clashing with personal life Swinerton is really good about moving people around to accommodate its employees.

Swinerton is employee owned which is really cool. Most people that I've met in upper management have been around for over 40 years. The number one remark i've heard from senior team members is that they work here for the people. 

The main downside in the renewable division is the travel. It fits my lifestyle but for many its a struggle. 

Most of the complaints I've seen on here are from temp labor which are not Swinerton employees.

Created a quality control program that slashed mechanical and electrical errors by 40%. Developed an efficient material delivery system that reduced installation time considerably Built numerous budgets to forecast installation costs in order to reduce costs and improve overall project revenue.
•	Boosted the installation efficiency of the project by tracking installation time and quantity then implemented measures to accelerate production. 
•	Mobilized a team of four employees to ensure the quality of the installation progress while reducing the lost time due to rework.
•	Decreased subcontractor expenses by 25% by negotiating pricing and fees.
•	Assisted the superintendent in directing subcontractors, keeping them on schedule with progress updates and alleviating any construction errors by properly planning beforehand.
•	Standardized an online document management system on smartsheet that allowed the free flow of information from the general contractor to the developer.

I joined SOLV Energy just a week ago and already feel incredibly lucky to be here. From day one, I've felt welcomed and supported, and the onboarding process has been well organized, giving me a clear understanding of my role and impact.

The IT organization strikes a great balance between strong operational discipline and embracing cutting-edge technology. There are abundant opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and grow professionally.

What truly sets SOLV apart is its culture. Unlike many companies that only talk about work-life balance and core values, SOLV's leadership demonstrates a genuine commitment to both every day. In just five days, I've felt more appreciated and valued than at any other point in my career.

If you are looking for a place that sets you up for success, offers real growth, and makes you feel valued, this is it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I learned a lot and they( foremans) gave me the opportunity to actually advance and do things.  They didn't make your job hard,  they tought you how to do things.  Corrective criticism is needed in a environment with dangers with equipment and other things.  Accidents hurt safety doesn't. I got my certs while working here and my osha 10. (Not paid for by them though).

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making sure things were perfect.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on who you know,  which Foreman you get,  and your co- workers. But for me it was great 👍. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You get your equipment ready,  you get your assignment, and you run your equipment and unload and load. Change jobs during the day, and it was over the best job I've ever had.

Working for SOLV has greatly exceeded my expectations. The high level of passion that nearly everyone has for this company was visible on day one. I would be surprised if a reward wasn't given to SOLV for being one of the top best places to work. This company knows how to balance professionalism with passion, and growth is extremely encouraged between team members. I've also felt welcomed by everyone I've met, regardless of their status. They truly have fostered a work environment that is nearly impossible to beat, and a staff that couldn't be more passionate about where they work.

I thoroughly enjoyed working for this company especially because my younger brother worked with them on my site as well after we both separated from the military.  That said, our engineer for our job site personally walked in on another engineer inappropriately in my space.  I did not want to say anything because I didnt want to lose my job.  That said, he spoke up and I did in fact tell him he had been inappropriately talking/touching me.  Nothing happened and the guy continued to the point where he mocked me.  He was finally let go but shortly after I was let go as well.  I knew our big boss liked the guy which was why I was scared to speak up.  I was told I was let go because they no longer needed me, but the job was not complete and they actually brought in another PA to finish the job

Working at Solv Energy is an incredibly rewarding experience. A typical day involves a good mix of hands-on work and collaboration, with clear expectations and strong safety protocols. 

Management is approachable and transparent, often encouraging feedback and offering support when challenges arise. The workplace culture is inclusive and driven by a strong sense of purpose; everyone seems genuinely motivated by the impact we’re making.

The hardest part of the job can be the demanding schedule during peak project times, but it's balanced by the pride that comes with seeing progress firsthand. You’re also contributing to a more sustainable future. I’d gladly recommend Solv Energy to others.


Was hired to work as a Site Attendant for a company that lacked communication with employees. Have been there for 2 years and slowly began downgrading our equipment. We've had radios and those no longer worked and were never replaced. We went from off-road vehicles to patrol unit cars that were terrible and never ment for the environment we were in, we were told to use open John deeres in raining conditions and extreme cold weather. It felt like we were setup for failure, we contently requested better equipment but were always met with "probably not today" and today never came. It was going good when we first started but when new management took over it went south for all the Site Attendants or "Security Guards".

Pros

Swinerton is a great company that is dedicated raising the bar in the construction industry. We have great leaders with great vision and lead with integrity and respect. Swinerton believes in investing in its people through continuing education programs, annual training courses and workshops, mentorship programs, engineering rotation programs, and many more.

Cons

Some people can get burned out. Some people get promoted too quickly often leading to dysfunction.

Advice to Management

Really look hard at the individuals putting in the work. There are a lot of great people there that are not getting the attention and recognition they deserve.

My internship experience at SOLV Energy has been first-rate. As company, they value their employees and actively invest in your growth. Weekly workshops and constant support are just some of the reasons I am excited to come to work every day. 

Beyond the catered lunches and ping pong table, SOLV Energy also has provided excellent opportunities for bonding with my fellow interns during a sponsored site visit and later a beach day.
