If you are beginning your safety career, this position would be a poor start. There are no experts to advance your knowledge or skills. If you are a CSP, you will end up in therapy, because the safety manager has no knowledge of safety and no supervisory skills where he is easily threatened by those who do. There is no room for advancement and the management team will not listen to your advice on how to enhance the safety program. The safety manager is married to the CFO/risk manager and both belong to a clique that will prevent you from advancing or making positive change to the safety program. Many management team members are engineers who believe they know more about health and safety than a CSP, so good luck on convincing them you are the expert. If you are looking for a safety position where you do not care to make a difference, do not mind the gossip and lies, nor do not mind having the safety manager set you up for failure, then go ahead and apply. By the way, two CSPs left Trihydro because of the safety manager’s incompetence and management’s unwillingness to replace him with an expert.

Too many "highschool" girls as project managers who want to micromanage everything without the experience to do so. 3/4's of the day is spent documenting what you will do or what you have done. The project health and safety plans can be thousands of pages for individual projects. Workers are required to sign these before being allowed to work on that project. Employees are not allowed to bill any time to read these. Somewhere, buried in these documents lies probable cause for termination for any person at any given time.
The culture pits engineers and project managers against technicians in that estimates require so much documentation that the alloted time to accomplish field work is shorted to get the job and when it comes in over budget, stuff rolls downhill.

Decided not to accept job offer after internship. Manager was not present and overworked certain coworkers while letting others do very little. I could tell I'd be picking up slack. Lots of communication issues and inconsistency with expectations. Nice people though but it feels like I just got an unlucky placement, your milage may very. Definitely more of a drink the Kool aid kind of place over work hard and prove yourself. Confirmed with multiple coworkers that they were all looking elsewhere while resume building there. Many required after hour activities that I wasn't allowed to clock in for as I was expected to want to be there.

The pay would have been more than most other places in town for my degree, not very competitive otherwise. I have a friend working there still and they have confirmed that there is very little upward movement. I was there a year and didn't see a single promotion from our team. At least not more than level 1 to 2 type.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The family environment and team work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Commuting was the most stressful for me. Other than that it was pretty low stress. Some people get stressed in refinery/industrial situations, but it didn’t bother me too much. Especially because their attention to safety details.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very family oriented and understanding that there is life outside of work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would run checks on multiple systems to make sure there were no malfunctions, make any repairs needed, and did water and air sampling for pollution remediation.

Trihydro Corporation is a company with a strong safety culture, a good reputation in the markets in which they work, and management which always made me feel supported. I appreciated the support from the different individuals I had above me during my time here. It was always easy to get help from people when I encountered problems. The work life balance was not ideal, significant travel time was required. Flex time was given to make up for this, but it did not make up for what I missed due to travel. The salary was very poor considering my qualifications. Overall a decent place to start, but a tough place to stay when I could get a much higher salary for a more balanced job elsewhere.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hybrid office at home that’s about it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is unorganized, when things get hectic trihydro management will not have your back, expected to be on the road 7 days a week without proper field equipment 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced, get as much done as fast as possible

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In the field 15hrs/day 7 days a week in and out of hotels.

Talented people work here.  Strong safety culture.

We are proficient in Microsoft Office and Outlook, and much of our daily work is performed using a computer or via face-to-face interaction.

You'll love climbing a 255 distillation tower at chief ethanol in Hastings NE in January. You'll also have the privilege of being micro managed to lunacy without any actual support. Management loves to say quote "figure it out you're not my problem anymore". Right after a whirlwind  Contradicive training period. Good luck ever having a home life in any sense of the imagination. This position is for a youngster who knows no better and has no family. Cheers.

Long term employees are respected and treated well. The current economic situation is creating a great deal of competition driving wages down. Entry level employees are seriously inexperienced.

Travel to worksite to inspect components for leaks at natural gas plants, bio diesel, ethanol plants or refinery utilizing necessary equipment. The hardest part of the job is climbing towers and working at various heights. The enjoyable part of the jobs for me was not being at the same location everyday. The holiday parties are awesome too.
