Exciting, Family oriented place to work.
Materials Specialist/Associate Field Specialist I (Current Employee), Houston, TX – May 6, 2013
Pros: work at your own pace, travel
A typical day is filled with enthusiasm to learn things not known as well as laughter with my co-workers.
Management is caring and considerate of their employee's needs. My co-workers and I are like family.

The hardest part of the job is trying to complete all of my work in a timely manner by the end of the day, with little to no mistakes, while training – more... and working special projects.

The most enjoyable part of my job is thinking of better and faster ways of making my job easier for me and my co-workers. – less

Challenging Environment
Project Controls Principal (Former Employee), Iraq – April 24, 2013
Pros: great pay
The job environment is very challenging. Working in a war zone was an experience that I will never forget. The biggest challenge comes from being in a remote location and being confined to a military base with little or nothing to do but eat, sleep and work. The most enjoyable part of my job was meeting people from different parts of the world while – more... traveling abroad. The hardest part of the job is getting in and out of a war zone to go on vacation. – less
