CB&I Employer Reviews

Shaw/CB&I is my first full time IT job. I've learned a lot about hardware/software troubleshooting, patching and deploying machines, Citrix and RSA.

I worked on the NGL Plant for Dominion Gas in Proctor, WV. Nepotism ruined what could of been a good project. The project ran with two shifts each accusing the other for mishaps and problems. Very poor Management.... Only there to draw a check. Safety was preached but not practiced until the end of the project when they were trying to thin the herd – more... and take away completion bonuses and any chance of getting unemployment. Good tradesmen were laid off while relatives and friends stayed on. I managed to get my bonus, luckily, because the promise of going to the next project was a lie. Seems like a good company with poor field Mgmt. – less

*Typically, I'm either operating, cleaning, and/or maintaining a crane throughout any given day.
*In respect to crane work I've learned a lot about building bridges, refineries, and coal plants.
*I rely on my co-workers for accurate crane signals and proper rigging.
*The hardest part of the job is working with inexperienced signalmen and riggers.
*The – more... most enjoyable part of the job is ending each day without any injuries and accidents. – less

This is an ok place to work for a little while, at least until you find something better. They tend to let their different shops and locations run autonomously, but the one I was at offered you a JOB NOT a CAREER. Typically, whatever wage you hired in at, that's where you'll stay generally. They don't have (or don't abide by) any sort of salary structure – more... or wage scale, preferring instead to outlaw any discussion of pay or compensation. This means they can pay someone who does the same job as you twice what they pay you, and if you're ever caught discussing it, or any type of compensation, you're terminated. The location I worked in was also was very disorganized and had a lot of problems. This, combined with the pay and poor attitude towards the workers means morale stays pretty low. All in all, if you're desperate for a job, it pays the bills, but it is NOT a fun or positive work environment and you'll likely never really advance – less

Most of the time there is no pressure and very obtainable deadlines.

I do not like the industrial version of MC2 estimating program. It is tolerable for doing change orders on a cost plus job, but I think it will is most unsuitable for doing proposal estimates. So my position will close and I will be transferred over to doing proposals. Also I will – more... have to change work locations, from Belaire &Beltway 8 to Riverway (tougher commute).

Supervisors are very good. – less

Eager to learn new challenges and responsibilities .I am a hard worker.

CB&I has the strongest management team of any company I've ever worked for. Salary and benefits are competitive and the culture is inclusive.

Work environment is very comfortable and workload is not very stressful except during submission of documents. Co-workers are easy to deal with and friendly. I've learned to take things one at a time because workload is never ending. Do things slowly but surely. The hardest part of the job is setting up of new projects and submission of documents when – more... they come in bulk loads as well as filing of hard copies of these documents when customers returned them. – less

Very cohesive group. Focus on safety and worker involvement was excellent. Pay and benefits were great. Focus on schedule and coordination of multiple crafts working in close proximity were very well executed.Dedication to client satisfaction and craftsmanship was a way of life not just a slogun or hardhat sticker. Management was approachable and responsive. – more... The project was devistated by a major hurricane about midwayof the orignal schedule, however the response of the company was outstanding and we saw the job through to completion. I was very impressed with the professionalism I encountered on all levels. I would work with them again anytime. – less
