Western Summit Constructors (WSCI) has some of the best training and career development programs in the industry. We take pride in knowing that our employees have access to the latest technology and learning systems available. As a new employee you are given the opportunity to actively participate in your performance appraisals. During the first two years of employment employees will participate in a performance review twice a year, then an annual review of their compensation in April of each year. Following an employees two-year anniversary, both compensation and performance reviews will be held annually. During this process, you will review past performance and set goals for future performance. Providing input on the types of training that you are interested in and that you feel will best aide you in performing your job is an essential part of this process.
Our operations staff takes part in our skill set program. Skill sets are a list of competencies each individual can attain to progress in the organization. The positions of Project Manager, Superintendent, Project Engineer and Field Engineer have three levels of competency based on skills, responsibility, supervisory authority and experience. In addition, the employee must have completed specific training classes in safety, technical skills, and management skills at each level.
