“You hear a lot in school about how you’re going to have to work in the industry for
3–5 years before companies will give you a promotion. That was definitely not the case at Weis Builders.”

Flexible Learning Program (FLP)

The FLP program is designed for those individuals who feel that they will likely choose either Project Management or Estimating as their long term career path. This program allows you to work in all aspects of construction operations through a structured, yet flexible, program of on-the-job learning.

In the FLP program, you will have the opportunity to explore three rotations — Project Engineer, Assistant Estimator, and Assistant Superintendent. In each rotation you will have a learning plan that outlines the job skills and knowledge that we’ve identified as critical to success in each of the rotations. We realize that not everyone’s needs are the same, so the program is customizable to meet your specific needs. Each rotation typically lasts 6–18 months.

The Superintendent Development Program (SDP)

The SDP program is designed for those individuals who feel that they will likely choose a Superintendent career path. Like the FLP program, this program will allow you to work in all aspects of construction. You will have an opportunity to rotate through the Project Engineer, Assistant Estimator, and the Assistant Superintendent positions. What makes the SDP program different from the FLP program is the amount of time spent in each rotation. The SDP program is focused on field skill development so the field rotation is longer (average 2 years) in this program while the office rotations are shorter (about 1 month each).

No matter which development program is the correct one for you, you are sure to have a well rounded career development experience at Weis Builders!
