Bronte-Construction

Fresh graduate, joined the company as part of the Project Management Team in Jan. 2019.  Since then it has been and still is fantastic.  I've learnt more working here than I have in my entire undergrad.  Work culture is great, you can tell that they value their employees and truly seek to work together and grow.

The Project Managers and Coordinators are always willing to help explain and answer any questions I have regarding the industry.  As a newbie, I always had a ton of questions.  They never made me feel scared to ask, even basic questions.  Working with a team who encourages you like this motivates you to do better.  

What you do at work here has real world impact.  When you visit sites and see the project being constructed you'll see how cool it was to be a part of that.  For example, drawings I've sketched here were used as a basis in actual meetings between the Project Managers, Senior Professional Engineers, and clients

If you enjoy testing your mind to its limits and growing yourself as an individually and as a professional, I highly recommend working here.

It’s a revolving door of employees, this usually means that you’re left doing the job of 4 people. When you ask for support, they often ignore you and on the rare occasion they do listen they tell you to find and hire your own support. When you go through the process of interviewing and hiring on support, management takes the new hire and redirects them to do other work that doesn’t support you. They don’t have any money to pay their suppliers so 90% of the suppliers account are on hold due to lack of payment, you are then forced to use your personal credit card to pay for whatever your project needs and hope you get paid back for it (I actually expensed more money on my credit card than my actual salary, make sure you use a cash back card because it’ll be your bonus). Bonuses are never paid out, raises are less than 1% even when inflation is over 4%. Company culture is every man for himself, everything has to be done in writing or it never happened (especially when discussing topics with your team members and manager). You are required to sit in on over 20 hours of internal meetings every week which could easily be reduced to less than 5 hours if you weren’t required to sit in on meetings discussing projects that aren’t your own.

My experience as an Estimating Coordinator at Bronte Construction has been overwhelmingly positive. From the beginning, the team has shown genuine warmth and support. Colleagues are eager to offer assistance, share their expertise, and ensure you feel part of the group. The collaborative atmosphere creates a great space to develop new skills and take on challenges confidently. Management is accessible, receptive to input, and truly committed to helping employees grow.

Can’t say I had a good time working here. A lot of finger pointing and backstabbing from the people on your team. High turnover so you’re constantly trying to get people up to speed (if you’re lucky enough to get replacements). Overworked and little to no support from management. Bonuses don’t get paid and raises don’t even match inflation. 

Hardest part of the job for me is getting up to speed with how quickly my teammates do their work.  Teammate support is a big component of doing this work.  I don’t know if I’d have made it out of my first week without help from them.  Management is fair, even keeled and easy to talk to/ask questions.  

Experience can change depending on who you're working for. Very unorganized, and management does not care about family life. They expect you to sacrifice your whole life for them and will take everything you give them with nothing in return.  On the other hand, the pay is good, and some supervisors and foreman are absolutely amazing. That being said, I'd never work for them again.

The company needs better people with knowledge in the field. Too many office people hurting the job on-site. The managers didn’t know enough about quality control or the job to help. Was up to the people on-site to come up with solutions to issues. 

The supervisor was friendly and fair; co-workers were team players. I liked working for them, but had to leave because I moved far away. We worked in various locations, some far away where we had to stay in hotels.
The hardest part of the job was working in locations that were very cold.

Was a great company to work for.  Always treated fairly.  Room for advancement.  Great coworkers to get along with.  
Always gaining more knowledge as you go.  Great for newer form-setters and experienced.  Always Guaranteed your full work week.  

The day-to-day is busy but fun.  Bronte has grown a lot over the past few years and has provided me the opportunity to grow in turn.  The workplace culture is light - everyone takes there jobs seriously, but the general vibe is happy.
