    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees value their colleagues and peers, who are supportive and great to work with. The company's strong safety culture, excellent compensation and benefits, and quality equipment and tools are highly appreciated. The camp facilities are well-regarded, and career development opportunities with training programmes are available.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including the demanding roster system with long periods away from home that can affect family life. Some employees have noted concerns about management experience and responsiveness, as well as varying supervision quality. Additionally, site logistics and commuting can be difficult during busy periods.

    The good thingsNothing enjoyable able working for Bechtel. Techs were mostly good guys.
    The challengesThe culture encouraged from management was meant to be eliminated from the Australian FIFO construction industry. From Workforce Services to Superintendents to Supervisors, they all participated in a terrible mindset to the employees. No one on the shop floor dared raise any issue due to employment security. Only the brave spoke up. Do not work here unless you're desperate for money or O&G experience.
