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 :

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
