On the edge of new technology
The company is divided into3 main fields, Sales, PM, and Field support staff, excluding the admit groups. Because I worked with contractors in the field, the day starts at 07:00, getting my site supervisors to check all aspects of their daily activities and sharing the project plan, weekly targets and daily targets. I enjoyed teaching them technical aspects and also lessons learned from previous projects, especially if you focus on tutoring someone and they implement and grow, and you can see the impact. Being in this company on the forefront of technology you are up to date with new innovations, and yes a lot of the tasks are repetitive, but working with the customer and the public makes this fantastic.
Pros: Always on the forefront of technology
Cons: Very project dependant
