The McAdams safety mindset follows me home.
The safety culture here at McAdams has allowed me to feel like I don’t have to put myself at risk. It’s allowed me to feel so secure that I’ve taken some of the ideas and applied them to my personal practice as well.
Leadership here supports the goals that matter to me.
I appreciate that I am consistently challenged by the large projects McAdams works on. It is especially great that so many of our jobs are local. My leadership has been highly supportive of my goal of becoming a licensed surveyor.
McAdams gives you room to figure things out.
The autonomy I have is what makes working here so great. For a long time now, I’ve been trusted to manage my day based on what the department needs. My primary focus is on field crew coordination, but because I have the flexibility to work independently, I’m also able to take the initiative to build and improve upon the internal tools we use every day. Being supported to just figure things out and make everyone’s job smoother makes coming to work easy.
McAdams invests in your growth at every level.
I joined McAdams as a technical manager in the Geomatics department. I was pleased to see a competent, capable staff that could mentor me on my career path. As I progressed to assistant project manager – project manager then group manager I was offered extensive training through Destination McAdams, Counselor Sales, and now Project Relay. Every step of the way, McAdams was providing the training and support needed to be successful. I am now a supervisor of a team of nine. I enjoy providing the same support and training with them so we, as a team, can be successful, profitable and grow together.
