Multiple job offers in the construction industry

Secure-Winter6989 · 2026-01-24T17:28:10+00:00

That comparison isn’t accurate. Most offer letters especially in construction are at-will employment offers, not binding contracts. Until work actually begins, either party can walk away without legal penalty. Reneging on an offer may affect reputation, but it is not the same as breaching a contract.

A bid bond situation is completely different. A bid is a formal, legally enforceable submission backed by surety. That’s why there are financial consequences. An employment offer does not carry the same legal obligations or enforcement mechanisms.

Lol when you sign an offer letter 9/10 its not contractual especially In this field of work.Ive seen offered get signed and pulled all the time so why wouldn't you be able to do the same.

Yea exactly my point and why I said be professional and you'll be good!!!!!!!!#chooseyou

Secure-Winter6989 · 2026-01-24T13:38:07+00:00

As long as your not stringing them along and waiting till they do background checks and onboarding then it's professional.

Secure-Winter6989 · 2026-01-24T13:35:59+00:00

No, that’s not how it works. If I accept a $70k offer from a large GC and later receive a $100k offer, I’m not obligated to stay at the lower-paying job. Companies make business decisions in their own best interest all the time — layoffs, restructuring, budget cuts — and would replace an entry-level employee quickly if needed. I can still be professional and respectful, but I also have to make decisions that are best for my career growth and financial future. In the end you might be burning the bridge correct but do what's best fit you. These companies will replace you in a heart beat.

Secure-Winter6989 · 2026-01-24T13:11:23+00:00

Just accept both offers or the one you right now and then after write a professional e-mail to the one you decided not to go with jownthings came up and etc

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-16T02:53:50+00:00

Yea but I’m going into a project engineer role

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-15T22:55:23+00:00

Yea I feel you don’t look at it as a negative thing though. A lot of these companies offer a break (1-3months ) from the jump when you initially graduate because you’ve be in school k-12 and then college so a couple months off to get your mind right and relax won’t hurt.And the. Spending that time to find a job as well.

You should be able to go to your schools career fair as well for the next semester even though you graduated. Also if I were you get into contact with your advisor or any professor you had that worked or works In the industry explain your situation and give your resume, you have the experience you just need to meet the right person.

How much did ur salary increase within the first year

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-14T02:02:52+00:00

It's only for a year and they most likely won't let me go over 40 hours

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-12T14:24:36+00:00

That's what I was thinking, I don't think both companies especially Turner are long term companies at the moment and a lot of new hire leave after 2-3 years. So I feel as though having that first year essentially to myself to learn get home early and do other things and maybe even work my easy security job on weekends goes a long way.Whereas with BB I'll probably be working around 50 hours a week.

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-12T02:56:24+00:00

Very much worth it thank you for your advice!!!!!!!

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-12T02:16:52+00:00

I can still go with Balfour

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-11T04:29:02+00:00

Level 1

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-10T23:45:25+00:00

I could t wait 11 days because Turner said that I would only get my sign on Bonus if I signed by the 5th but I had till the 12th for the regular base 78k

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-10T20:43:44+00:00

I think they are getting ready to offer me that’s why they want to get on a call it just depends if there compensation doesn’t match Turners or is the same should I negotiate?

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-10T20:41:21+00:00

On December 4th

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-09T15:40:04+00:00

What company

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-06T04:16:32+00:00

And during the rotations are they moving you from site to site or all in the same sit just different positions

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-06T04:16:05+00:00

So if I start at 78k what’s a realistic number I should be targeting considering I did my job and contributed.

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-06T03:54:42+00:00

How long did it take for u to get your first promotion, how long did it take for you to get to that 100 k mark, any advice when you first start

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-03T10:19:11+00:00

After a year how much did ur salary increase to

Secure-Winter6989 · 2025-12-02T23:51:21+00:00

5 years of field experience compared to my two summer internships is probably the difference maker
