ENERCON focuses on growing each Engineer into their career. Instead of having your one set of responsibilities, there are continuing opportunities to gain a large set of skills and develop your career based on what you are looking for.
Cons
Due to the nature of the contracting industry, there may be times of jumping around to multiple programs within a given year. While not often, it has its challenges. This style of work is not suited for everyone.

Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear you’ve experienced meaningful career growth and skill development. We appreciate your feedback and are grateful to have you as part of the team.
I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around.
No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams.
Some of the travel was cool.
Cons
PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money.
OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it.
Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet.
I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well.
And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
