PCL Construction Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PCL Construction (Edmonton, AB) in June-2015.

Interview

It was a well thought out process of several interviews with multiple internal stakeholders, members of HR and the direct Hiring Manager. It allowed me the opportunity to assess the company and it's culture prior to accepting an offer. People were open and honest - this helped me understand the pros and cons of working at PCL Construction. Overall, the interviews and the people (and a job offer) made for a positive experience which I have no issue referring friends or family!

Interview

Met with President, VP, Ops. Manager, HR Manager and Field Ops. Manager. They all had scripted and non-scripted questions. Very professional and efficient. The interview was in person and was a bit intimidating at first given the number of people and their positions within the company. The intimidation went away rather quickly and the interview was more like talking story than being grilled.

Had an initial phone screen with someone from HR and gave my salary requirements. Got an onsite interview with the systems administrator. Easy, laid back interview asked about my past experiences and technical skills for the position. I was qualified for the position so it was fairly easy.

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at PCL Construction (East Rutherford, NJ (US)) in October-2015.

Interview

Before the interview, I was asked to complete examinations on Microsoft Word and Excel. My scores were perfect but I do suggest taking the practice sessions prior.

The wait was short, and the women interviewing me were pleasant and professional. Some scripted questions but a fairly natural flow to conversation. A strong emphasis on teamwork. The interview was interrupted by the Project Director that I would be directly assisting. I had a strong notion that he wanted to ensure the position was filled by somebody that would ensure a smooth transition and could be a part of the PCL family for a long time to come.
