Earthwise Construction Ltd.

Great place to work, always on the move(which I love), Friendly staff and crews all around. Always try's to teach their new hires the safest ways to do tasks, and will not force people to do something if they unsure of the task and it will provide help to do the task. Saftey is always top priority. 
Great wage and always pay according to task/position and experience, Benefits according to office policy. I have always gotten time off as needed with ample notice to my foreman or supervisor(s). 
Never any problems that haven't been dealt with promptly(work site/safety/people). Very positive atmosphere. If there is a break down, the mechanics are on it ASAP and generally is fix in a few hours to couple days, but if so the company has always had a back up plan. The management work very hard to keep everyone happy and is quick to resolve any issues that may occur.   Work smarter not harder. 

I seen a lot of disgruntled posts below and is very unfortunate. My experience of watching people come and go is, usually people it made it tough on themselves, they should have ask for help, instead of trying to tough out what ever the issue may have been, there is great support here but many don't take advantage and try to suck it up. 
Sure some days are tough. But there is many more easy going days then slow or rough days. 
You get what you put into it and my experience has been remarkable, learned lots in the field and in the office, even feel like at a families house when I show up everyday. Your a person and not number and as you will be treated at Earthwise.

I've worked here for many years and never had negative issues with senior management, supervisors, or foremen. They set a good example for employees by giving 100% of themselves and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty and pitch in when it's required to get the job done. And I know they will support me if I make a decision in the interest of health and safety. And ownership has given me an opportunity to provide for my family and give them a good life. 

What I've learned from working here is: Life is what you make it...an honest day's work is rewarded with an honest day's pay. I don't feel like I'm owed something because I have knowledge and experience. I have to go out there every day and prove that I'm competent and that I'm a willing team player, for my own self worth and pride in my work.

The hardest part of the job is the long working hours at the time of year when there are a lot of other interesting things to do and places to go. But that is the sacrifice of working in this industry in this province.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the people. Construction workers are the best, and it's been a pleasure to know and work with  many  people from different places and cultures and ideas without judgments or prejudices.

I been with Earthwise for 5 years. I started off from a hand shovel. Was given The chance in a skidster and was able to grow from that to a loader. Then was showen how to read grades stakes and blueprints and use of a level and a tape measure. Even ran a paver for a bit. If ur willing to take the time to learn they will take the time to guide u and train you. And when u read the bad reviews is usally people who didn't take the time to learn there way of doing things or have an open mind on how thing work hear. Or were to unsafe in how our work procedure is and was to frustrated to learn it. Like I sayed I been hear and started off on a hand shovel and now am a base Forman with a awsome crew that 90% of the time have a smile and a great additude at work. But really what company in this road building world ur happy 100% of the time really?

I have 26 years in the industry and this place was ok for the first day I was warned by the employees and foremen that the owner was a real piece of work, and this was true then they put some operator with no people skills as a foreman his first day all he did was put others down I was shocked he was saying what he did to me. Then he said we could do better in time as our production was slow. I dug all threw my breaks and they could not lay pipe fast enough to catch up to me all of us worked as hard as we could but never was enough. So on day 7 I quit and went to there competition and I tell you what a difference in management I get treated so much better and my input  matters there. The foremen at the new place is the best love it there. Found a home not a rental.....

my typical day at work consisted of driving around the city picking up materials and equipment and delivering them to job sites.
I have learned new skills in operating equipment to load them on a trailer.
The management and co-workers are really great to work with.
The hardest part of the job is taking a 40 foot trailer into residential areas trying to maneuver so that I can deliver the materials or equipment.
The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting all the people at the various locations that I picked up the materials and or equipment.

I would not recommend working for this company. They are all talk with no actual backbone. They hired a group of people just to fire more than half of them in the same week, keeping only people who management personally liked regardless of their experience or job quality. Quality of work absolutely does not matter as long as your foreman favors you. They say no shouting policy but you get yelled at left and right. So if you want job security, I would say run away as fast as you can on the other direction of this company because they WILL leave you hanging dry.

I began working here in the field with no prior construction experience, I soon found myself learning new skills and advancing in the field. I was in a misfortunate situation and found myself placed in a new environment within the company. Again in this situation I have learned many new skills. I have also witnessed the advancement of other field workers into more established roles within the company.
Friendly long term employees can be found through out the company.

we worked long hours but this is normal when paving or Road construction 
We worked seasonal it was a good enfirerment in the beginning  
a few years later there it went down wards to much dop and drugs 
Management didn't prodect NON SMOKERS 
I don't work there anymore since last year 
The hardest part of the Job was Paving 
We were proud when we finished a good Job
In the beginning we had good co-workers 
later I don't want to talk about it

Worked a short season with this company 
They run a fast paced work environment. They are safety oriented, the pay is great definitely one of the best in Edmonton. 
The only problem I had was organization from the very top down. My foreman was great but it seemed like an uphill battle daily for our crew to have the tools, equipment and man power we needed.

I worked for the company in 2011 as a Project Manager and saw no unfairness. The ownership always extended help as needed. I was given the opportunity to speak my professional opinion without recourse. 
The foreman and crews that worked with me on my projects always had the opportunity to elevate.
I write this review as a personal view while employed.
