BALFOUR BEATTY CONSTRUCTION Employer Reviews

Great learning experience. If you get the right fit you are looking for, it is a good place to land.

Was layed off by Howrd S Wright in 2009 and was told all would be elgible for rehire. Since then HSW has advertised position but have not called any former supers back. All political and clicish.Good supers never brought back. HSW use to be a great company but is now third rate at best even though its now a part of Balfour Beatty. Phx office still ran – more... by losers in the industry. – less

Client and vendor management. Medical equipment planning database maintenance

Does not promote its employees. Mnaagment is all about the bottom line and not the employees.

Very employee oriented company offering numerous training and advancement oppurtunities while putting employees engaged.

One of the most gratifying and personal growth experiences I have had to date.

they have a half a billion dollar contract /joint venture and they talk a good talk however they are all business and no play.

I worked from 530 in the morning till 6 or 7 and they dont ever say anything like go home you spend to much time here they just expect you to work your life away. and if you do not they look at you as though you are not dedicated. – more... I dredded it every day. – less

I've learned a lot at this job. The people are great and friendly, the management is not hard core and easy to work with. The hardest part is when there isn't anything to do (I like to stay busy). The most enjoyable is when I'm given projects that are challenging.

Great place to work! Very fair working environment, great work/life balance, personal health is encouraged. Love the comraderie between coworkers. Work hard, play hard!

They will discriminate you in a heartbeat for being white! IF you are not part of the "gang" and in to hip hop and what was in BET last night, you will get the can.

Balfour Beatty seems to be a good company for young people to advance within the company. BB provides good after work activities to unite the employees on a more personal basis.

I've always enjoyed working here. The culture is outstanding. The company really cares about your family/work life balance and tries to make your job enjoyable. The people here are great to work with as well. Everyone seems so eager to help each other out on particular issues that may arise.

I worked for Balfour Beatty Construction (formerly Centex Construction) for over 20 years. Great people and leadership. Lots of new technology with support from IT Management. I really can't say anything bad about the company.

In the military housing division, I found it wasn't so much as who was competent and more knowledgeable, it was who was connected to the vice-presidents through prior friendships, or, who would accept the lowest pay for the job.

Knowledge and experience played no part in advancement.

If your project was coming to an end in a month or two, and there – more... were no other projects to go to, they would not give you a heads up so you can prepare to look for another position elsewhere. And when the time came to be laid-off, it happens that day. But this is typical of employers today. – less

demolish and build bridges very exciting job to work in something new every day

This company is diversified in various markets and is very large and very stable.

I Consistently received positive feedback from guests and created repeat business by developing long-term relationships with customers. the company relied on us to maintain good terms with our clients.

One of the best places I have ever worked at. Great people and corporate culture.

A typical day at work for me has been getting the offices polished, hoovering, emptying bins and making there desks tidy ready for my co-workers and manages to start there very busy days. Then going down to clean the work-mens canteen, drying room and all toilets. I would have to say there wasn't an easy part to this job as like the cleaning jobs i – more... have done in the past, Because no sooner than you clean an area from dust and mud, It was back again, being a building site there wasn't much job satisfaction in that aspect. But having said that i was always kept busy, And thats why i loved the my job. And unlike cleaning jobs i have done in the past, I had to sit my cscs course and heath and safety. learn about doing risk assessments on cleaning products and work areas. I also had to sit a on line Royal Bank Of Scotland Manual Handling course. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting and greeting people, being the first person of contact, even before they made there way to the reception. And collecting the lottery from co-workers and manages twice a week and have that responsibility and trust, (not that we ever won that much)!!!. I would say that the most enjoyable part of my job has been reading my references and seeing how much of a good job i did and finding out what my co-workers and manages thought about me.. – less
