Bryan, Associate, employee since 1982
"I came to RWDI when it was a much different, much smaller firm and there hasn't been a dull day in the 24 action-packed years since. I've had a chance to be part of a growing, dynamic company where lots of different kinds of challenges have arisen, sometimes all at once! But, it's the excitement of working on world class projects that keeps the place vital. We all know we're on to something good here!!!"
Craig, Project Manager, employee since 1998
"If I could sum up my 8 years with RWDI using one word it would be 'opportunity'. Throughout my time here I've had the privilege of working in two separate offices for 3 or 4 different groups and in numerous positions. The company's commitment to internal promotion is exceptional and demonstrated constantly. It's also an indication of the overall flexibility of the firm and it's managers, not just regarding internal promotion, but also when dealing with personal affinities and career goals. I've never been told "gee Craig, I don't think that'll work" or "we don't want you to move into that group or work on that type of project". Variety and cross-training have been constant themes for my career so far and I'm very thankful for that."
Simona, Senior Engineer, employee since 2001
"If you wonder what kind of place RWDI is, here are some facts: the people here take pride in what they do and are encouraged to think outside the box. Initiative, innovation and dreams are welcome. Someone was asking about my best day since I've started. I wouldn't know how to answer that question, because there have been so many of them. Each morning I look forward to the work ahead of me; isn't this what a great day is supposed to be?"
Marc, Marketing Communications Coordinator, employee since 2001
"RWDI is an exciting place to work as we get to see the world unfold through impressive architectural and engineering projects, and we get to see Canada develop its environmental presence. However, it is the great people and the care RWDI has for its employees that makes this a wonderful place to work."
Martin, Technical Coordinator, employee since 2004
"RWDI is a place where personal and professional growth is a part of the everyday culture. 'Take your ideas and run with them' they say. Did I mention that I also play with models in a wind tunnel? That one always gets some attention. The best part of it all you ask? Every day I wake up and look forward to coming in to RWDI, and by the looks of everyone else around me, so do they."
Analene, Project Manager, employee since 2005
"RWDI is a great place to work. There is such a diverse array of projects that you get to interface with many different types of industries and clientele. Aside from the work itself, RWDI cares about its employees. The staff here was very supportive when I decided to leave for a few years to pursue other interests. Upon returning, I felt as though I was not only coming back to a company, but that I was coming back to a family."
Stephen, Air Quality Scientist, employee since 2005
"What stands out for me, as an RWDI employee, is the company’s interest in its personnel. While it is common to hear the phrase, 'our people are our most important resource,' it is uncommon to find a company as solidly behind this concept as RWDI. This is no truer than with the company’s focus on work-life balance. While getting the job done is obviously a priority, RWDI allows me the flexibility to choose how and when I do this so that I can meet personal commitments and goals. This can be as simple as working a few extra hours on a Wednesday, which then enables me to be at the river by noon on Friday for some fun in the rapids. A simple thing – but an important one to me."
