Pros

Good place to start to know about soil and concrete testing. That knowledge will help a long way in the inspection field. I also recommend for students in college to do an intern or work part time. They contribute well to people where in school and hours were flexible for such schedule, especially if you work in the lab. Great starting point for anyone with no knowledge of construction. I recommend starting off in the lab it will have you overly prepared to work in the field as a technician.

Cons

Pay was not that great You have to force them (especially as a student who is eager) to give you an opportunity in other areas of the company so you can expand your knowledge and gain adequate experience for yourself.

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
