Parsons Work Values

Daily Duties at Parsons :

The District has a set of Technical Design Guidelines which we furnished the architects at the beginning of each design phase. I have worked with the program manager, and quality control manager editing these guidelines to include changes by The District’s addendums, appendices, and directives. I have also been involved in plan review for each bid package, reviewing the civil and structural drawings, and enforcing the above design guidelines on all design and bid documents. For the last six months I have also worked with the Director of Projects, and District PM’s to solicit and compile bids on Job Order Contracts (small jobs), which are separated from the other bid packages.

What they like about Parsons :

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
