I applied through university. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Blacksburg, VA) in Oct 2017
Interview
3 Levels of HP employees interviewed me: Project Engineer, Project Manager, and VP Level Manager. I wore Business formal while the interviewers were a mix of Business casual to formal.
I was asked to introduce myself, my goals/dreams, and then why I wanted a job. Afterwards it was a review of my resume and then some curveball questions.
I was told to hear back with-in a few days to a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were to be any construction equipment, what would you be?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Round Robin type interviews. So mentally prepare to do about 4~5 interviews over a few hours. Some interviewers felt almost identical but some really wanted to get to know you and hear your career story.
I attended the career fair and was able to secure a next-day interview. I had an hour-long interview where I was asked questions about myself and my experience, and I was able to ask multiple questions.

Question 1
How would you solve a problem when two trades are clashing?
I applied online. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Phoenix, AZ) in Sep 2025
Interview
Good during process but, not good communication on a yes or no. This is not a good sign. Didn't bother to give me a generic sorry we won't be pursuing you.
