AES Engineering Reviews

Good working environment and staff

After working at several other firms and related-industries, I started at AES. At the time the Vancouver office was only a couple years established and there was very much a start-up feel - the two managing partners and a dozen employees. After proving I was capable, I was given more responsibility and bigger and more significant projects to work on. There was a lot of mentorship from the managing partners, we worked closely together. Over the next few years, the firm grew quickly - new clients, more projects, new office moves, more resources to help deliver projects, additional staff (including a lighting and technology team, technical experts). There was training both formal and informal, on a variety of subjects - electrical code, project management, leadership, even business development and Revit. 10+ years at AES and my role continues to grow and evolve in ways I never thought possible in the beginning, including becoming a shareholder. One of the perks of AES is that it is an employee owned firm and the partners have an open door approach. The company continues to grow - a new office in Kelowna last year gives staff options to live and work in the Okanagan. It’s no longer the same small company I joined, as it’s constantly evolving and improving (new services, new markets) and the firm continues to secure interesting and significant projects - that is what makes working here rewarding and why I choose to stay.
