Rewarding work with solid benefits - Civil/Structural Engineer Enercon Services Employee Review

ENERCON has a great culture! I appreciate the transparency of our Senior Leadership Team, especially our CEO, Robert Bryan. We always know how our company is doing, we get to hear about the exciting projects we are working on and feel like I am a part of something larger! Our Benefits are effective day one of employment, there is no vesting schedule for the 401K match! We are growing a lot which is also exciting.

Our PTO plan needs to be updated, also I think a bonus structure or extra 401K match should be considered for individual contributor roles.

I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around. No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams. Some of the travel was cool.

PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money. OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it. Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet. I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well. And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
