Pros

Pros? Don't make me laugh. There are none.

Cons

EKFB is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst company in the construction industry. If you are interested in PROJECT CONTROLS then do NOT work for EKFB. They don't do proper project controls and everything has to be follow some rubbish systematic process of doing things, which is slow, cumbersome, tiresome, laborious and frank out BORING. The project controls senior management team seems to have their head stuck up their back side, thinking they are above else, they have to be the worst persons I've ever had the displeasure of working for. They say people don't leave companies they leave bad manners, DAMN RIGHT. terrible managerial skills and definitely has 0 traits and qualities of a leader. He also needs to work on his soft skills. Team also works in silos in each section and don't help or aid eachother. terrible.

Pros

Working within a joint venture, with my parent company being Kier Group, provided an engaging and varied role. The work was interesting and enjoyable on a day to day basis. Pay was relatively fair for the level of responsibility. Management was supportive and effective, and the wider team was professional and easy to work with. Safety standards on site were strong, and I consistently felt safe at work. Although the hours on site were long, the overall experience and the people made it worthwhile.

Cons

Career progression was difficult due to the corporate structure and budget constraints. Opportunities for promotion and pay increases were limited. I often took on responsibilities beyond my role, but progressing required navigating multiple layers of approval, which was slow and challenging. In the end, it was more practical to move to another company than to progress internally.
