Reviews
My role is mainly looking after my team on site, ensuring we have everything we need to keep performing as a contractor and also helping out the project manager when needed.
Pretty straight forward and manageable.
In some points, work coordination is necessary to improve the work's efficiency.

Pros and cons of working at Byrnecut
Pros
Good people and working conditions, everyone is happy to help and answer any questions. Management structure is well balanced and often pushed to reach higher potentials.
The people. I have built great relationships with all the people I have worked with in my role. I sincerely believe the upper management care for all the employees at my site.
They have done what they said they would do in terms of hiring, salary, and development.
The clear goals and pathways laid out for me.
My company encourages everyone to participate and contribute any ideas that can improve the performance at work.
Cons
Egos of some people. Communication can sometimes be lacking.
More support in regard to defining the project engineer's role. The engineering workshop hosted earlier this year was great, something I wish I could experience after starting role.
Unnecessary waiting time to move up the working position.
Some pretty long days
I have no complaints about my experience in my current role.
