Charlton & Hill Welding Ltd.

I would have to say in the duration of my time at this organization I still ask myself how they stay in business. They have no knowledge aside from building a few types of equipment for the fracing industry. The management is garbage as you have a "welder" for a manager who seems to know little about how to make a business grow and stay successful unless it's only for a period less than 12 months. They will hire mass groups of people and feed them a bunch of political bs to make them sound like a great company to work for. Then turn around and lay them all off because as a business they cannot keep customers. I have seen a fair bit of good fast over qualified workers come and go. Not once has a trailer been delivered on time. Based on everything it would be because right from the top there are nothing but closed minded amateurs whom don't know what they should or need to. 100% of the blame for anything not getting done on time is placed on the workers building the projects whether it is actually because of procurement issues, design failures, poor management from coordinators right to the shop foreman or not. I can say I have learned the most at this company. All in what not to do as a business. The hardest part of the job is to show up in the mornings due to the fact you don't know what gong show your gonna get. Which in turn makes going home at the end of the day the best part of it. With any luck the owner,ceo and board of trustees of Charlton and Hill Welding Ltd. will realize how bad the company is failing and has failed. Not only in the business aspect but as well in the community the are based. Get rid of the manager and shop foreman along with 3/4 of the project coordinators and bring in educated people whom know how to keep a business successful and it would be a good place to be and work. Until then it will continue to only be known as Chuck and Hill "the name you should never trust"

I had a great experience working here. You are able to learn new skills while applying this knowledge to interesting work.

The team is supportive and welcoming. There is an optional staff fund for extra activities, so you can join in after work fun.

Management is knowledgeable, fair, and supportive. If you have a good work ethic, you'll be encouraged and treated with respect.

Because of the specialty of this business, they're are some delays while waiting for parts. Be prepared to switch tasks to accomodate minor delays.

Overall, a great place to get your hands dirty and acheive a daily sense of accomplishment.

Overall, the job itself is fine, it pays fairly and it's definitely one of the better jobs I've worked, but if you take a job offer here, keep tabs on current job openings every now and again.

The hours are also nice. The workday typically goes from Monday to Friday 7:00AM to 3:30PM, which leaves ample time to live life outside of work.

C&H are good people to work for and my coworkers were great, but shortage-of-work layoffs are not a rare thing, especially inside of the first three months, so you need to be prepared to find at least a side job at a moment's notice, particularly if it's rather late in the year.

A typical day included and 40 hour work week plus. Workers were under paid and over worked. They had no value for the employees who worked there. Most Lead Hands and Jr. Lead hands were not Journeyman Certified for there trade. this way they could cut costs. The electrical Forman was and Mechanic not an electrician which made him difficult to deal with. Management felt very disfuctional. Safety was limited. Which all made the job difficult.
However most of the crew worked as a team, which made that aspect enjoyable.

Horribly disorganized, you’re always hunting for parts and having to rework stuff because it’s just not done correctly the first time. Project coordinators have their heads in the clouds and the lead hands are in the dark because of it. The operations manager is an absolute dictator and has no business working with people. If you’re on his list then expect to be the target of relentless temper, snide comments and backhanded tactics. Straight up a bully who pulls illegal stuff all the time. The coworkers are fantastic. But things take place here that should never happen in the workplace. 

Work/life balance is great with 7:00am-3:30pm normal work hours. OT to be had if you want. Fast paced environment with learning opportunities along the way. Self-starters will love it. At times can get a bit stressful trying to make time frames, but once your complete with your project units are ran in house. Nice to see your work run in the end and a happy customer. 

Over the past several years I have enjoyed working at Charlton and Hill. Ther have been issues but overall I was able to become a key employee.

I did find some instances of conflic with supervisor over some aspects of workmanship and learning skills with other forms of welding especially on light material and Aluminium.

Overall I would still enjoy working there but I feel it is time to expand in skills and knowledge from other companies.

I have my own office ... come in have a morning meeting to discuse what is on the genda. Start my computor send out time cards from the day before prepare for my paper work such as Po for the material coming in .. check emails ects.... inspections on  forklifts,cranes,trucks, my hazard assessments. Work on forklift when needed,receive material, stage jobs.. organize shop when slow.. I get along with everyone that i work with.. and the most enjoyable part of my job is when its really busy and it gives me challenges.

Great place to get foot in door, tasks can be repetitive as in all construction types of work but there is sense of belonging and a great work life. Allow u to fix mistakes without to much headache and chirping from other people and a great full 8 hour guaranteed job a day. Lots of overtime if wanted and people notice your work ethic. Not a ton of permission opportunity but a great career place
