Sky-Climber-Renewables

Most days are trying to accomplish daily tasks before some kind of meeting (there were many) where everyone's performance was criticized and more, non-job related responsibilities are handed out.  I learned to be more critical of a job before taking it.  The job seemed great on the surface, but I should have been wary when everyone on the interview call gave good feedback except those that would have been my immediate supervisors.  I also found "red flags" among the work policies that were so glaring my intuition told me to walk away.  I didn't listen because I was excited about the opportunity.  The owner of the company is pretty intense and the all of those under her keep their heads down, trying not to get fired.  Any decision or suggestion made will be questioned and verified with a Google search.  The hardest part of the job was being assigned work that was "not in my wheelhouse" simply because the company didn't find it necessary to hire someone to it.  It is less expensive to pass those responsibilities to all the lower management.  The most enjoyable part of the job was when my supervisors were "out of office".  I would be left alone to do the job I was hired to do and not have to worry about someone looking over my shoulder, questioning everything I did, assigning me extra work, or making me sit in a pointless, hours-long, meeting.

I've learned a lot of new skills with my over 2 years of working here with Sky Climber. Every day has the potential for a new task being added to your list.
The management is usually fairly good about getting you to where you need to go, however they still have much to learn about letting you know in advance where you'll be going and when you'll be leaving.
The hardest thing about this job is learning new tasks and remembering to ask many questions. Even if you think you're sure about a task it is very wise to double and triple check to make sure you're doing the task correctly and safely.
The vehicle situation is far from ideal so when possible I reccomend using your personal vehicle
I don't feel like Sky Climber has a lot of culture of it's own and that's fine. Each site you go to has it's own culture and the longer you work at each place the more you get taken in by the employees you work with and the culture of the site and surrounding  area.
The best part of the job is the travel locations and doing fun things on your days off. Not every site is going to be interesting but sometimes you get a good one and you can go with your coworkers hiking in the mountains or swimming in the ocean.

Supportive company that provides excellent training and opportunity for advancement. Requires strong commitment as the industry demands long hours and travel away from home. However, if you're willing to give your career 100% of your focus - you'll be rewarded with increasing responsibility and consistent pay raises. 

Management cares about employee job satisfaction and encourages healthy dialogue/feedback on project assignments, team members and project needs/requirements. Encourages safe work practices through education/training programs and is actively discussed daily on company App, through email notifications and weekly safety calls with management.

Wish there was more notice before project deployments but it's typical with every company in wind. Lots of opportunity to do many things and work on different types of towers. The variety brings excitement to the job where every project will be different and lots of opportunity to find what you're best at.

Overall a great place to work where you will be challenged and given the opportunity to learn valuable, life-long skills.

You get a short 3 week training for the job. Only 1 week was on the actual work you will be doing. The rest was safety training. The training for the actual work that was going to be done should have been longer. They did pay for my plane ride there and a vehicle to drive but they don't pay for your rooming. You have to use your per diem for that which was only about 60 a day. So most if not all of it will go towards a hotel room. You do not get your per diem till after a week on site. Once I got to the job site. I was the only one from this company. I had no clue what to do and come to find out I wasnt even there for the work I was originally trained on. I was told that the job would be 3 weeks on that site and I was there for 3 months.

There is a strong level of camaraderie among most employees at Sky Climber. The TEAM mentality is encouraged and is a necessary element for growth and success. Management is heavily involved in support and resources are plentiful. The hardest part of the job, for me, is saying goodbye to the people I get to know and care about when a project comes to an end. Although, chances are high that other projects will bring you back together down the road. The most enjoyable part of the job for me is the travel. As with most companies, when you take care of your responsibilities, the company will take care of you and Sky Climber has done that for me!

A typical day at work is always something new you have to get use to it find what it is and plan for it (jsa).

How to be safe and look for problems before they make other things worse.

Management actually listens to you and they are quick with a solution in a jiffy.

Workplace culture is great nothing more to say really.

The hardest would be the heat or high winds keeping you from doing your job, it sucks but it happens sometimes you gotta call it early and head home and attack tomorrow.

Enjoyable day of the job is when everyone was safe in doing there job and we all come home safe.

Over all best company I have worked for. Very friendly environment very welcoming company they teach you everything you need to know and if your a slow learner that’s ok to because they make sure you know your current job in training a company that actually cares about there employees?? What? That’s possible you say? Well with sky climber renewables your not just a number your a employee that they are proud to have 

Treat there employees terrible especially their Vets. They have terrible pay and terrible perdem. Skyclimber have you sign a contract that they don’t take accountability for.  Promise a lot things and a lot of it is lies.. Tell you there consistent work or a site is about to start and doesn’t start until a month or two later.. If your thinking about joining skyclimbers I’ll say this should be your last option in a company.. if your looking for employee value and good pay

Sky Climber is a company that reinforces the team/family workplace attitude.  They encourage every employee/team member to share opinions/suggestions regarding workplace issues.  Which allows people the ability to feel inclusive and get their voices heard.  Workplace culture is centered around accountability and safety. Sky Climber invests a lot of time and training into their employees and frequently does small contests and reward programs to honor hard workers. The best part of the job is the people and traveling. Hardest part of the job is being away from family traveling.

Not enough money  to deal with the amount of tasks they give. They want and push for tasks to be complete  to engineer spec. in a non manageable timeframe. A lot of Photos (using your own phone) extreme temperatures of a confined space, and not knowing when you are going to get your next day off are just the start of it. I will say safety is taken pretty seriously and taught great habits of staying safe and not cutting corners. Seems like they would hire anyone though. Turnover rate was crazy. Overall an underpaid boot camp for entry level wind technicians.
