WHITE CONSTRUCTION

You have to be in Union to work at IEA White construction. Ive worked non-union and union. I politically lean to the right, but as a journeymen laborer I am here to tell you everything from The union health insurance and pension, to the training and education you receive by the Union is WAY better then non-union companies. The weekly health insurance and pension contribution is WAY more affordable. And the training I received at Liuna's traning facility taught me so much I did not know. The employer also makes better contributions to your health and pension . Trust me ive done the research, and worked for both non-union, and Union. Liuna laborers is only way to go. So I respect White construction off the jump for hiring union laborers, and operators. The management and supervisors are VERY even tempered. They are the most professional ive ever witnessed, and ive been in the construction game for 10 years now. They work year round. And do everything from highway and roadway work. To wind and solar farms, and bridges. They are in my opinion one of the best construction companies in Indiana. I could not ask for a better work environment. I could not ask for a better group of operators that come out of the local operators union. Everybody is very professional, and polite. I am thrilled to be apart of their team. The difference in workforce between non-union and Union is astronomical! The hardest part of the job is probably the physical aspect of being a laborer, but that is anywhere. The most enjoyable part of my job is probably the fact that I know Is this company after paying my hourly rate and making their contribution to my health and wellness ( Health insurance + pension) is that my labor is not cheap to them, so I know they expect me to do my job every single day, and to do it well. Knowing that gives me daily peace of mind. Overall wonderful employer

For me, I like the work I do. Long hours outside, throwing my body at every type of manual labor problem known to mankind. The problem is the children running the show. College degrees with no real-world experience. Too many people with no clue ordering around a bunch of sweaty guys in the field who never progressed beyond a 15 year old's mentality. I love digging holes and breaking concrete, but I have the absolute worst time holding back my temper with these people, hence why I like those. Easy way of blowing off steam. Getting paid to hit something. I have learned about every type of tool including different saws, grinders, drills, and heavy equipment such as skid-steers and fork lifts. That learning is why I've stayed this long.

Preach the good word but zero follow through. Safety is a punchline to use when convenient not a principal to live by. Incidents get overlooked or not mentioned at all. 

Pay is terrible for the position. Will hire Aerotek contractors that are paid more to ensure compliance for a project but tell you they can’t pay you more money. Base check no OT no Per Diem, $680. Hourly position, better be willing to kill yourself to make money and live on the road. Trucks are tracked and going to buy food it considered personal time and is taxable mileage and fuel cost on your pay check. 

I had high hopes at first. Then you find out Sr site management doesn’t back you at all so you are talking to a wall at all times. Without Operations support, nothing gets done. 

A typical day at White is long and strenuous. The commute is very expensive and long. I've learned and improved all of my trade skills as a member. The management is persistent and fair. My co-workers are hard workers.

The hardest part of the job is the long commute to and from. The company does not offer medical benefits, paid days off or vacation. Learning the age old craft of building is the most enjoyable part of the job.

I would do daily site audits and identifying the hazards. Will constantly give orientation to new employees. I learned how to conduct new hire orientations, accident investigation reports, proper lifting procedures, update first aid kit, and inspecting rigging. The most enjoyable part of the job was that everyday it was something new to do. All my co-workers were very outgoing and very helpful.

A typical day at work for me is very engaging always on the go. Keeping busy getting projects completed and getting timely results.I enjoying coming to work because everyone on the job makes it so easy to work and and environment is not stressful.Supervisor will not be hard on you he allows you to work and if a mistake is made he's not too hard on us about it. the company provides good benefits

A normal day at work consisted of myself planning out the work scope for the day, ensuring proper installation of any stage I was currently on at the time, schedule other crafts to begin and complete their work, over see to ensure completion on scheduled time. More of a project management role than anything.,

What is the best part of working at the company?
They pay there vendors on time 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Certain project managers want to schedule your job 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family environment / appreciation 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
So your job, take care of customer, go home

This is a great job if you like to travel. The traveling is probably one of the most enjoyable parts of the job and also one of its downfalls. The quality management team at this company is probably one of the best I have worked with. They are very knowledgeable in Standards and procedures in the construction field.

My co-workers were very enjoyable to work with.  My day was pretty busy as I did payroll and invoices for the company. I loved what I did as an Administrative Asst.  I would recommend this company to anyone.  The pay was satisfactory and the benefits were great. Well rounded group of people to work with and for.
