Pape-Dawson reviews

Great management and fast-paced work environment. You will be expected to contribute to the team from day one. Project managers are experienced in civil design and very familiar with the codes and regulations pertinent to their fields. Management does an excellent job in developing young engineers and familiarizing them with civil engineering design standards and guidelines. Promotions come often as a new employee. The benefits and compensation offered at Pape-Dawson are second to none. Managers are more than willing to give you time off to spend with family as long as quality work is being completed in a timely manner. Pape-Dawson is an organization that truly cares about you and your family's well-being. Overall, a great company to work for. I would recommend Pape-Dawson to anyone interested.

TLDR: PD is the best if you want to be a great engineer AND a great person. I joined Pape-Dawson because every single person I met in the interview process was a person I wanted to see myself strive to grown in to. Although people reading this will have heard this cliche phrase hundreds of times on the job hunt, the people at PD are truly what make it. The environment in the office is very young and very collaborative within the teams. There is a U30 program for the large group of engineers under 30 which involves a speaking series, socials, outreach, and cool project visits as well as some awesome community service opportunities like Mentoring kids at an elementary school, volunteering at the SA Food bank, or running 10Ks for causes. We have great leadership in our Project Engineers and Managers who guide the teams and have been at the company for years, but never settle and are continuously refining their own technical and leadership skills and styles. The is rarely every a dull moment in the office!
