Slow hiring process at EB in Quonset?
Hiya!
I applied to and got the initial offer for the Pipefitter role in late May 2026. I did the drug test and sent my documents (currently live in TX and would be relocating) in early June. I feel like Ive been harassing my recruiter once a month for a modicum of information on where we stand.
My husband got his offer around the same time for the entry level Welder role. He did all the same steps along with me so we should, in theory be on the same page.
BUT.
Its a big move and while I know someone who already works at that location, we don't know anyone else there.
Is the months long wait without any information normal for EB? Is this what its like once you're hired on???
I understand they are hiring something like 3k in the next few months or such according to the last article I read but holy cow.
The last time she reached back out to me was this past July 20th and it was simply, "Oh we are still waiting for the drug test." Ma'am?!
She went on to ask what she had told me last time I called her, which was before I realized they move slower than the federal government (who I last worked for). The answer at that time was that they expected to have a start date and firm offer before Fall.
Anyone else in this same boat? We are strongly considering NOT taking the offer whenever it finally comes because we feel left in the dark.
We aren't confident we will be able to make the move and get settled in for the amount they are offering and the lack of communication.
