i loved to move around and meet different people. i was always on a different machine and in a different location. there were many great benefits to this job

With our work being so specialized every job is different. With that you learn to adapt to a veriety of situations and task.

With me being a Foreman on most jobs I am in direct contact with the management/supervision. As a Foreman i've had the oppunity work work with a wide range of people and for the most part every job i've managed has been enjoyable – more... and successful.

The hardest part of the job i would have to say would be the physical aspect of the work. Some situation are very physically demanding.

I love working with people and thier different personalities. love being outside and working with my hands. Seeing a project for start to finish is a rewarding feeling. – less

A typical day for me at work is taken with a serious outlook. We have a safety and update meeting each morning. I will normally work between 8-12 hours a day up to 7 days a week.
I have no problem with management, someone needs to have the overall picture each day in regards to a plan and progress.
All the co-workers are very helpful with a great can – more... do attitude. We work as a team to accomplish as much as possible as safely as possible.
The hardest part of the job would be the new technology coming into play ad learning,uderstanding it and using it to be more productive. I am here to make your company money while making a living.
The rewards i see daily over the work done, the team work and the safety practices we all use...my current job is a learning experience on a daily basis – less

The work was mostly steady, they taught me how to do pretty much anything from welding/fabrication, plant operation, operating heavy equipment, work with any hand tool or power tool, and use a shovel!

My typical work day is one that keeps me busy. A work place that shows what a person can do for his/her company to help the company grow and further thier long term future, is a company I perfer to work in. Knowledge gained from co-workers is as valueable to me as I will be for the company that hires me. The hardest part of a job a day that is waisted. – more... The most enjoyabe part of a job is a busy shop that that is willing to teach, show, and work with knowledgable staff. – less

As my own author, I stand to remark for myself how I would like things to be done with those that serve me. as a public relations representative for i2sports, I developed a phone and email technique with clientele that worked well to grab audiences for the web broadcasting shows.

In my job i dealt with many different clients, dealt with grievances as well as signing up member. I dealt with many lawyers and business men. i had done a lot of contracts for the building we were in. I had done delinquency letters even followed threw with court fillings. I work with a great staff we all worked together as one and was always there – more... to help another if needed. We took it upon are self to learn all of the departments so we could have that help if needed. The hardest part was dealing with the personal issues people felt toward one another in there work place and seeing how a building was failing because they were not team players. The best part was the gratitude and satisfaction i had when i updated a contact and got member's raises and holidays extra sick days things that would help a family overall. to know i helped the union member's understand we were there for them . – less

Hands on labor environment, exposure to 4-season weather,

The typical work day would start with a safety meeting to ensure we all go home to our families at the end of the day, then into stretching to loosen up, then it's time to get things done on time and with in budget. It is always a learning expirence, and you never really know it all.
Sometimes co-workers can be very productive, and sometimes they can – more... scream and haller and make life miserable I like it much more and find you get more done without those type of people, lead by example.
the Hardest part of the day is when the weather is just down right ugly, raining, blowing and cold. Makes for a long day.
Out side of that seeing what you have accomplished at the end of the day is pretty amazing. I have 4 bridges and 2 buildings and 1 school under my belt and am ready to learne and do more, where ever the road may lead. – less

I work in a variety of locations. I may poor concrete one day and hold a road sign the next. I use many types of equipment and each time I use them I get better. Most foremen are professional and are quite good at what they do. My co-workers come in a variety of types but all in all they are good people. The hard part is the weather. the best part is – more... the enjoyment in knowing I can push myself farther than I thought and being a part of building factories schools and highways that will be here for years to come. – less
