Average Salary for Ecs Limited Employees in United Kingdom

Pros: I get to learn new techniques, although they are often self-taught. Supervisors try their best to help out with the questions you have in the field. Schedules are made to best distribute the work during slow weeks.

Cons: I have been left in situations where I cannot confidently give a contractor information they seek while in the field. I have been overwhelmed by the amount of work I am expected to do in and out of the field while understaffed. My pay is now less than those who were hired after myself. My pay has not risen even though my office heavily requires my background in lab work and would not be able to get proctors, soil gradations, and other geotechnical lab procedures done. I am also one of the few who understand soil classification.

Pros: Supervisors are great.

Cons: Never seem to have enough experienced people to cover jobs. Do not get enough experience to confidently do the jobs.
