IRISNDT

Safety is only a weapon to use against the employee here. While serious safety concerns are hand waived away by management, minor safety issues are then used to distract the employee, shift blame onto them and punish those who speak up about major safety issues.

Management is good for schmoozing the customers, and blowing smoke in your face and that's it. Teams were made up of a majority, or in some cases all green workers --Working on power generation equipment 80m+ up in the air! Proper ppe was not provided. Proper training not provided. Proper tools and equipment not provided. If you fail to meet production expectations under these conditions, management will accuse you of lacking intelligence. 

The money is good, I can't deny that. If you think it's good enough to risk your life, I have this advice: talk to the customers at every opportunity you get. They will give you the real information on what is safe and what is not. Management will say that you have to go up the tower with a storm approaching cause the customer is getting impatient, but if you talk to the customer, they will think you're crazy for going up under such conditions and will tell you they understand that in the wind industry things take time to be done safely. 

Management here just cares about getting done with the project asap so they can swindle another customer.

The “management “ have no organization skills there’s no communication between any of the staff.They will promise you anything to get you to work for them,if you ask for PPE it’s like you asked for their first born.They never have enough rope gear to do the job safely,they make you sit at home a lot as in there words they wouldn’t guarantee 40hrs even though the one clown said he would give you 50hrs.They bid jobs with no idea how to bid them and expect you to get them out of the hole,the management has no people skills they treat you like the dirt on there’s shoe most of the people who work for them complain about them most days.In winter your told to work harder if your cold and at there other job most staff sleep or spend time between the office and the smoke pit also they have some good truck level 3s who play games on there phones instead of rigging ropes correctly

I've always loved working for IRIS. There is room for advancement and rewards for being competent and engaged in your work. With all industry jobs there is room for improvement in the HR department, but this has been getting better as time goes on. Concerns are taken seriously, work ethic and positive attitude is seen among almost all technicians. Management has good rapport with staff, and everyone is given fair treatment. Everyday there is something new to learn, experienced staff is always willing to give a helping hand and answer questions for those interested in learning. The most difficult aspect of the job us the lack of work-life balance, when you work, you work a lot and with the shift in seasons there is a definite slow down period. The morale and family feel is amazing for such a large company. 

The best part of working at iris is also the worst part of working at iris. There is zero emphasis on safety. It’s sweet to not have to sit through meetings. It’s sweet to be able to do things that would get you fired anywhere else. All ppe is optional. There is zero push from anyone to jump through safety hoops. The downside. Someone is going to die. Only so many times you can roll the dice. They’re an ndt company and don’t have a clue how to do rope access. They’re very different things but treat them the same. But management legit things they’re super safe, but only because they’ve never worked anywhere else. Hard to know what good looks like when you’ve never seen it. Best of luck if you get hired. Good for Edmonton locals. Don’t move here, they’re hanging onto the work they got by a thread and it’s gonna dry up when IT happens. 

This is by far the worst place to work and quite possibly the worst job I’ve ever had. They give you nothing but broken promises and leads on upcoming work just to keep you around. You can’t even get a full work week in without being given a day off. The supervision is very very weak and inexperienced with little to no direction as to what is going on. The atmosphere at Iris is very clique and if you’re not one of the family buddies or NDT then you don’t matter. The pay period is usually wrong and often missing several hours. Anyone thinking about working with this company I highly recommend you go elsewhere.

I have worked for many rope access companies. Most get you a one week rope ticket and your qualified to be anything! Not at IRISNDT! All their techs are very qualified and certified. I seen a labourer let go from them and start the next day with their biggest competition as an insulation foreman. Growth in numbers means nothing without quality and this crew has been honed to be deliver superior service. Anyone that’s worked with this managementknows they are fair unless your trying to take advantage of the system or don’t do your job that your paid well for! I’d go back to work for them in a second but took a gig in Australia for a year. When I’m back I’ll be calling IRISNDT again.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Mentoring is their strength in developing talented technicians 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A lot of senior technicians wants you to be their helper and difficult to choose who to be with.😃

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and very helpful to each other. Especially, when it comes to safety they will assure you that you are safe in a daily basis.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I like more in a busy state rather than the slow time. It keeps me learn alot .

You can do better than working with these guys. I worked for them for 4 months and spent most days sweeping the floor despite asking frequently to be trained in ndt. You spend most of your time fixing trailers or sweeping floors or doing chores. Anyhow, once i had passed my ndt exam they tried to use my shop hours as ndt ticket qualifying hours which is technically illegal. When this didn't work out   they made some weak excuses as to why they didn't train me and then started training me the very next day. My advice would be to work for another company.

Typical day starts with getting a dispatch for the day which includes clients info and address and type of work to be performed.
Mostly perform different types of inspections which provides you different experiences.
Management are very approachable and helpful with any question you might have.
The hardest part of the job is not knowing what you will be doing in advance. You might be too busy this week but off next week.
The most enjoyable of the job is you get to control you job progress as you want.

I was a previous employee.  I was given 10 days to do a job after i got them far enough ahead of that job. They laid me off due to different religious belief and when I confronted them why I wasn't going back.  They said that I did not fit to the group so they treated you different and never texted or called you back to let you know. Don't work for them if you are not extremely religious, they will get rid of you. They pretty much had hatred a lot in this company.
