TR Canada

Stay away from this company.  They force you to work 60 hour work weeks with no additional compensation.  Pay their own (Spanish speaking expats) more in LOA plus salary uplift for site. They got a travel allowance plus bonuses that Canadian content never got.  Were investigated by Employment Standards numerous times and even audited by Revenue Canada.  Tried to make LOA a taxable benefit and have emplyees pay the taxes after audit.  Lowest of the low.  Never worked for such a horrendous company in my life.  Worst experience ever.  Safe to say I would never work for them again or recommend them.

Worst of the worst as far as companies.  Double standards - Spanish treated like royalty but anyone else is totally expendable.   Forced to work 60 hours per week with no overtime pay.  Rotation leave is part of earned vacation.  All staff receive same amount of vacation - 3 weeks regardless of position or experience.  No compensation for travel time.  Very demanding rotation of 10 weeks on / 2 weeks off.  Absolutely no support from management.  Paid monthly versus bi-weekly.  No uplift to work at site. Several different variations of contract when everyone is staff leads to high discontent and discrimination.

This company takes advantage of their local employees (Canadian content).  They do not follow Employment Standards as far a proper pay for overtime.  You have to file a claim for it and then you only get the last 6 months.  If you wish to receive all that you are entitled you then need to use a lawyer and sue for it.  You are forced to work a very long rotation (10 weeks in / 2 weeks off).  Your vacation time is not your own as it is dictated by the company and MUST be used for rotation leave.

Worst company ever to work for.  I would never recommend them to anyone.

Every single day was a different challenge, enjoy sharing with the co-workers and subcontractors, during inspection's walk down with the client we developed a very good work relationship based on respect and knowledge about the about items and equipment inspected.
Most of the times the management understood the reason for some delays, even when there was a new activity assigned to be inspected.

Everyday is different depending on the volumes of emails, meetings and documentation that needs to be processed.  Things that must be done within a work day is assure that we are keeping up to date with our schedules.  We have to be on top of our Document Control documents assuring our libraries are up to date and we have the latest and greatest revision; and also assuring we are issuing proper revisions to subcontractors.  With Turnover we must be determined in collecting all QC information and having everything signed off and turned over as per due date.

It is one of the best engineering company perform engineering, construction, procurement. Typically we do all the works systematically maintaining engineering codes and standards, company's references and best engineering practices. The management is great respect the engineering decision. The most enjoying part of working in this company is a very friendly environment. The hardest part of the job is to establish a bridge between Calgary team and Madrid  engineering team.

Typical Middle east pay, culture & treatment.  They will trick you to sign contract,(with lot of false promise) Once Contract signed, they will lock you for one year & block you from working for all their contractors, subcontractors etc.,

Worst company I ever worked for. Bad experience working for them.
Pretend to come bear hunting in Canada with the attire and weapons they have used to do business in underdeveloped countries can only rush them into failure

Very poor company to work for. Would hire only people from head office in Spain if they could get around  Canadian immigration. 

When I worked for them they regulatory terminated Canadians and would replace them with company head office personal, so that way they seem to get around bringing in foreign workers.

The people who work here are wonderful: intelligent, ambitious, motivated, and perhaps most important - FUN
The management team welcomes constructive feedback on business processes from every level of the organization. 
The company invests a lot in their training and development team, which helps with personal and professional growth.
