Pros
Overall, I had a positive experience working here. The people were genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help, which made a big difference day to day. One of the best parts of the job was getting paid to travel across the country and see a wide variety of projects and locations. I learned an incredible amount in this role and grew exponentially, both technically and professionally. It was a great learning opportunity and a valuable experience for anyone who enjoys variety and hands-on work.
Cons
This role requires a SIGNIFICANT commitment to travel, often with minimal notice. Field projects can change quickly, and it’s common to be asked to mobilize day-of after getting a call on a weekend. Equipment prep, testing, and travel are frequently compressed into very tight timelines. While the work can be rewarding, the constant schedule changes make it a high-stress environment. This role can be extremely challenging for those with family or other commitments. During peak seasons, time at home can be very limited (sometimes only a few days at home per month).
