Pros

There are many different job locations depending on the district you hire on with. This gives you the chance to experience many different jobs and locations. The challenges change with every job so nothing gets stale.

Cons

The pay rate of Kiewit is on the below than average side of the scale. Everything is based on your base salary rate - i.e. move allowances, cost of living adjustments, and field work premiums. So if your base is low, it effects everything. You can go from making a decent living at one job (with a high cost of living adjustment) to living hand to mouth at another job.

Live out your American Dream with this stable company. But be prepared to work hard.

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

You will feel like a member of an elite class. You will make more money than most people you graduated with. You will fly around the country and stay in elegant hotels. You will feel secure and important. This is a company that believes in itself and promotes from within. If you stay with the company, you are a guaranteed millionaire, especially if you are hardworking, clever, and motivated. You will work on the most complex, large, and technical projects in the industry. Life will often feel like an adventure. You will never be bored. You will be offered varied opportunities and will have stories to tell. Your parents will be proud of you. The benefits are great, its all paid for, yes you can order a beer with dinner, and yes the american dream is still alive at Kiewit. Your hard work will pay off.

Cons

Kiewit gives lip service to work/life balance but in no way encourages it. Any hour of any day is fair game and a 60-80 work week is common. You will not in any way be compensated for overtime. Management is often aloof and highly demanding. The culture is also extremely conservative (read: backward) and skeptical of technology. Beer is a necessity at all company functions. The company funnels its profits to an elite good ol boy club of senior managers who often waste company resources. The company rewards loyalty but requires a long testing period with the majority of wealth and compensation coming after 15-20 years with the company.

Kiewit Power Constructors new hire.

Field engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

A good job to have for those who like a challenge. A lot of potential for quick career development. Quick learning curve. Management is very helpful in helping new hires get acquainted with their roles and responsibilities. Many different opportunities to learn all aspects of engineering, procuring, and constructing major power plants. Great compensation for recent college grads.

Cons

A lot of moving around all over North America. Long hours in the field. Hard to "settle" anywhere. Not a lot of notice when moving between projects. It is a large company so it takes a while to get to know the majority of the staff.
