Great company - Assistant Field Engineer Turner Construction Employee Review

Very respectful and community-like environment. Most of the employees are extremely knowledgeable and open to educating new hires.

There are no cons really.

- Large, high-profile projects that look great on a resume - Competitive pay (due to travel incentive) - Many smart, capable people at the individual contributor level - Exposure to complex construction scopes and demanding clients

- Very poor onboarding. There was no real job walkthrough, no training on how systems actually work, and no clear explanation of expectations. I was given a laptop, phone, and desk, then largely expected to figure out the basics of the role on my own. - Weak leadership ownership. Even experienced safety managers were not empowered to make routine or time-sensitive decisions. Most decisions required director-level approval, which slowed work and created confusion across the project. - Decision paralysis when senior leadership is absent. When the safety director was not present, leadership stalled. Instead of experienced managers stepping up, the default response was to “wait,” even when action was clearly needed. - Little to no feedback or check-ins. There were no consistent supervisor touchpoints or performance conversations. As a new hire, I had to actively chase clarity instead of being guided.
