Perini Building Co. Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I am currently an MEP Superintendent with Tutor-Perini and over the last 5 years, I have taken several $100M+ Projects from the Ground-up thru TCO and through Closeout. A few of my daily tasks have included but are not limited to: supervising 40+ subcontractors (Electricians, Sheet Metal Workers, Mechanics, Sprinkler Fitters, Insulators) on a daily basis, scheduling meetings with the Building Inspectors, Architects and the Engineer of Record. Using Pro-log to write RFIs and Submittals, using Plan Grid to pull up contract documents, using AutoCAD & BIM to find MEP conflicts, using MS Excel to create Equipment Commissioning schedules, and life safety Pressurization spreadsheets. Using Outlook to create 2 weeks look ahead schedules for my MEP subs, taking Projects from the Ground-up to TCO and ultimately thru Project Closeout, and sitting down with the GS and PM to update the schedule. The tutor is a good firm, but for a variety of reasons, I feel it may be time to look elsewhere."

What don't you like about working at Perini Building Co.?

"PerinI allegedly had a predetermined number of management personnel they were going to layoff CityCenter project wide. Their medical coverage was more expensive. I had declined Perini's first offer of $65K per year as Whiting-Turner was a great employer and had just given me a raise to $72K per year. Upon Perini's 2nd attempt, they promised a $72K salary, $1000 signing bonus and $10K in year in bonuses. The 65k contract was given to me at orientation and unintentionally signed. PerinI would not adjust the salary to what was offered. It wasn't the end of the world for me as I continued to work even longer hours, between 12 and 18 hour days, even though none of the signing or year end bonuses came either. I did manage to last much longer than other co-workers even though they had worked their substantially longer than I."
