AMEC Earth & Environmental Employer Reviews

Got experiance doing alot of field work and report prep. My office is a good place to work but I may need some room to grow and move forward.

No typical day as every day had its own challenges. Wore many hats but that's what made it fun to go to work each day.

Days started at 7:00, when the crew would sign a safety sheet and receive a safety briefing. After that, the work would begin and carry on until the 9:30 break. Work would resume again at about 9:45, and carry on until noon, when everyone would break for lunch. At 12:30, work would resume again and go until the 3:00 break, resuming again at 3:15, and – more... ending at 5:30.
My job as a Helper would be to run around running messages, getting tools, standing hole watch, rigging pipe, cleaning the job sites up, and basically anything else that needed to get done that didn't require specialized training.
I would frequently practice welding on my lunch breaks.
My coworkers were a very industrious group, earning their pay. Management was always in the loop with what the other foremen and managers were doing. – less

This company as formerly MACTEC was corporate driven with individual offices functioning as cost centers--sometimes having to compete among one-another and rarely working well together.
The company may have broadened itself to include too many services.
The positive side to this was that clients using traditional engineering services were more accessible – more... and could sometimes be swayed into using niche services such as environmental permitting and stream restoration as needed.
This segway provided various large project opportunities however these projects were often managed and, or budgeted by non-natural resources professionals. Clients may have been promised cost that were way too low, for example, then the buck was passed to technical managers and specialist tasked to figure out a way to make it work within budget..
Co-workers were friendly but it was a very 9 to 5 type atmosphere with multiple commodity type engineers--whom did similar projects over and over again.
As a niched professional it was especially difficult to move up the ladder in this company. A company more accustomed to traditional engineering and the associated professional growth in that sector.
Enjoyed traveling and working on the occasional well budgeted, large industry project..
note that company may have improved since merging with AMEC in which case I would certainly consider working for AMEC.. – less

started in the morning with safety meeting and the days task. signed jsa and went to work. Management was very fair with all employees.All co-workers i had was great. Hardest part of job was converting metric to standard units and deciphering the correct spot between 3 different blueprints. most enjoyable part of job was the schedule and how close to – more... home it was – less

We start the day by prioritizing our work load. Each day is different so we look at everybody's volume and from that I decide what I need to do first and then for the rest of the day. The cash application is the most important so I make sure I take the time I need to apply it correctly. Responding to our customers (both our offices and our clients) – more... is important so I make sure I find the time to respond to everyone within a reasonable time frame either with a solution or to let them know I am working on their issue. Some of my co-workers are easy to work with and some are not. We do, however, all try to work together so that we have a good environment and the job gets done. – less

I leanrned that when managers are willing to be hands on to teach people learn better. Coworkers are great with this company. The only hard part for me is the layoffs that comes with construction jobs.

My company was previously known as BCI Engineers & Scientists, Inc until it was acquired by AMEC Environment & Infrastructure in 2011. I spent almost 13 years there until I was laid off in 2012. Good, stable work environment with many opportunities for advancement and career development.

Great staff and team. Traveling and being apart of the various teams and offices was fun and brought new and exciting challenges everyday.

I was on a large project for a year and a half of consistent overtime almost every week. Very knowledgeable and experienced co-workers and management. Supervisor made sure everyone got as much work as possible.

I spent most of my time there traveling from military base to military base worldwide. Between projects i worked from home.

Hired as CMS to work as Project Engineer for the US Corp of Engineers.

Good safety program,work is always good witch makes the day go by fast, never a hard day when you have good co-workers

Over all a agreat place to work with great pay.Time balance a little off as to be expected for a construction company.Management over all I dont know but my chain of command was great and very helpful from begining to end.The hardest part is time balance.The exciting part changing locations , grerat pay and not so hard work.

oversaw overall office needs
managed set up of new offices
co workers great people
working with people who love what they do makes the day enjoyable

While the projects that I worked on were very interesting and I did keep busy which was a plus, the corporate culture there made it a very difficult work environment.

A great team of people. Core group of people who have worked together for over eleven plus years.

In my tenure I had the opportunity to meet and work with some of the brightest and most creative professionals within our industry.

I worked for Amec for a long time and believe the advancement is there as well as great management. I didn't appreciate the dedication they had for safety until I worked for other companies. It truly comes first with Amec and they go to great lengths and expenses to ensure your safety which is something that typically goes out the window with other – more... companies when production is hindered. – less

safe work place hire to many non americians, don"t hire many VETS
