What did Adam have to say about being an Alliance SI technician?
About the culture
“I’ve always felt I’ve had a pretty good wicket with Alliance. They’ve given me what I’ve asked for. There’s a lot of give and take. They’ve always supported me tooth and nail, really.”
About the people
“I’ve found in previous lines of work that it’s hard to find good people that I get along with that you can trust, as well. In this industry you need to know that people have got your back. That the tradesmen or apprentices your working are switched on enough to save your life, if they have to. That’s pretty common here, everyone’s really concerned about one another.”
About the work
“I’m quite happy doing what I’m doing at the moment. I feel that I, personally, still have a long way to go to become a very well-rounded tradesman. I’m still learning every day; I think you’d be lying in this industry if you said you weren’t. There’s always something new. A new way to go about things.”
About career opportunities
“Internal promotion seems to be a high priority for the management. Bringing people up through the ranks.”
