Excellent company with job security.
Highway Inspector (Former Employee) – Doha – July 3, 2019
Parsons International is one of the best consulting company in the World being in the construction industry long time ago. It has projects in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, South and North America, and other places where their expertise are needed. Parsons International engaged in various development such as in roads, bridges, and highway construction; micro-tunneling for sewer and water lines; oil and gas; airports and terminals; and other horizontal and vertical projects.
Parsons International is very much concerned about the safety of its employees, contractors and sub-contractors, the public, especially the environments. Management is excellent especially in paying salaries on time. For my more than 5 years in the company, I did not experience a late salary but always on time or ahead.

Document Controller/ Secretary (Former Employee) – Doha Qatar – June 3, 2019
The day to day you will regularly encounter at work is a high demand for quality and standard.
Having said that, you will learn a lot from it in due course of time that is very beneficial to your career growth.
Management treats their employees with a proper decorum that you will feel like you are as important to them.
Colleagues highly follow what is in our Company protocol towards proper ethics regardless of your position, culture, and religion.
Basically, the hardest part of the job is the stage where you are in your adjustment period. About the work itself, I could say the most difficult task is the easy task but it becomes difficult only because you are overwhelmed by it like everything are urgent.
The most enjoyable yet fulfilling feelings are the challenges and the fulfillment of your goals and a bunch of lessons learned and the people who help you to be a better and more mature individual in your career.

Document Control Manager (Current Employee) – Doha – January 22, 2019
It was my honor to be part of the Doha Metro Project in State of Qatar since June 2015 to present. Have learned the design stage, Construction, Testing and Commissioning and now we are in stage of Handover. Being in this project I learned and advanced my skills in many aspects as far as technical.
The most enjoyable part of the day is when we are hit with many urgent submissions and they all have to be submitted at certain time and there is no delays from our end.
Management is highly motivated to include the co-workers.

Parsons was a Great Company but not in QATAR
Construction Manager (Former Employee) – Doha – October 3, 2018
After desigion to leave and going back to my country I got a excellent offer for another Company in Qatar for double salary, but Parsons did not allowed and did not give me NOC. This was not as per human wrights. Also the Program Director was working only for his benefits, not for Parsons itself.
disorganised
Logistics Coordinator (Former Employee) – Qatar – August 15, 2018
very disorgansed company to work for.
was based in the qatar and was working for client who could not make decisions immediately when needed.
Pay was more than UK but didnt meet cost of living out in qatar as was expensive to live there.
due to relocating the Allowance for housing was ridiculous and could only afford somewhere about 2 hours away.
had to use majority of salary to pay for living expenses.
working 6am until 6pm

Mechanical Design Manager (Former Employee) – Doha – May 17, 2018
Very productive and interesting place to work having approachable management with talented staff. A place worth staying for more years. Long working hours (client-to-client basis) providing five day work per week.
Parsons provides suitable office equipment for everyone to do his/her job well and everyone's visible to the management for further training to improve technical acumen.
Observance of Parsons core values will undoubtedly enhance an employee working ability.

My personal work challenges ,experience and objectives
HSE Supervisor (Current Employee) – Doha – May 7, 2018
A typical day is the HSE weekly meeting when we sit together with our management and highlighted the challenge we encounter during the week and we all working as panel to solve the issues. Also, I have learned that always there are mechanism to overcome the challenges on through vital communication with concerned departments and use the safe easy working manner and "managements" skills and approach to accomplish the tasks.
For workplace culture I have had experience due to course to dealing with diversity on multi-nationalities deployed on workplaces and how I can manage the working environment to produce safe system of work by coordinating with construction team, HSE team and other involved personnel's at workplaces.
The hardest part of my job that I have faced is related to Contractor's management commitment towards their HSE obligations as I have always maintained the efforts to improve their HSE culture where is needed.
The most enjoyable part of my job when we achieved our HSE objectives for instance achieve 5 Million safe man hours without injury.
