I thoroughly enjoyed the environment. My typical day consisted of dealing with hundreds of individual pipeline inspectors to ensure their weekly paychecks were processed correctly. Verified all expenses for payment had backup documentation for processing. Corrected any discrepancies in pay as well as providing great customer and client interactions, making the process as easy and smoothly as possible. The most difficult part of the job was the excessive amount of hours and constant changes in the process, that made it difficult to ensure accuracy. The most enjoyable part of the job was my co-workers. If you're going to be at work 60+ hours Monday through Friday it's really nice when you enjoy being around the people you spend most of your time with.

I was on the remediation project restoring the environment back to its natural state while some of the oil lines were being repaired or replaced. The days were long and exhausting but at the end of the day it was extremely rewarding and satisfying. I enjoyed every bit of my time on that particular project. The hardest part of the job was the constant travel, sometimes two or three states away from my family. The individuals that I worked with made it so much easier because we spent so much time together that they almost became a second family to me. We all became very close because we were all away from our families.

It was a learning and stepping stone to enter into the pipeline integrity field. However, several promises were made that later turned out to be in fact untrue. I was deceived on long term employment but compensated well and the benefits and bonuses were great. Once the company lost new bids for pipeline integrity they later picked up Right of Way Survey and Survey for Compressor Station Sites. The registered land surveyor replaced me with a friend of his. Rather than being honest they informed me I was training him so I could take my vacation. I was fired the day before I was to go on vacation.

Spent a lot of time inspecting 550,000 barrels tanks being built, I went on top to inspect anchor points, found some deficiencies which were corrected. The message og doing it right the first time was received and deficiencies decreased path forward. I must admit I have a passion for construction work as well. I participated in daily safety meetings and as always keeping up with everything going on.
Participated in the testing of the tanks as well. Plenty of associated piping and equipment was installed safely. Excellence in housekeeping is a key in safe completion of all jobs.

I like and understand this company's strategy. Both employer and employee provide or each other. One the expectations, the other the skill sets and the client a reasonable fee for the service provided . Simple and effective.

I like that I am able to work with the client to get the electrical installed as per the code, and that they have given me the ability to work on the front end of the projects. helping with the  lay out and design work this really make the job go so much easier when it was time to have the contractor do the work. 
working the different location has been an asset tome  the oil industry with not just the current work, but the look ahead as to what is in the future of a station.  this way we can keep areas open for future work and expansions

There are a total of four generalists in my department, but there isn't enough work for everyone to do.  Our concerns have been expressed, but it seems like our opinions are not valued.  I would rather be busy all day than have to ask for something to do constantly.  I do enjoy the people I work with, but we are not treated equally.  Some employees are salary with perks that management receives while others are not.  The job itself is very monotonous.  I'm looking for a job where I have to think.
