Pros
Provides good exposure to real building operations and engineering processes. Opportunity to work with contractors, maintenance teams, and audits, which helps develop attention to detail and coordination skills. Experience working in different sites can help employees become adaptable and independent.
Cons
Roles may involve handling multiple responsibilities beyond the job scope, especially in sites with limited manpower. Work can be more operational and administrative, with limited opportunities to focus on technical engineering or design work. Workload and stress level may be high depending on site assignment and staffing. At times, there appears to be a gap between higher management decisions and the actual needs and challenges of site-level operations. Training bonds can be significant, and many trainings are tied to bonding periods, which may limit flexibility for employees.
