Pros

Great projects, great people, great reputation

Cons

Long hours to be expected for a promotion. You are not as much of an investment as an engineer or manager would be for another company so more volatility in terms of job security

Thanks for your review. Construction can be a challenging industry, but also very rewarding. PCL has a mobility program that allows employees to maintain job security when projects finish. Make sure you stay in touch with your HR team, and look for opportunities on the PCL careers site.
