Safety is a recurring priority you'll find across Burns & McDonnell's webpages and code of conduct. "Safety Is First. A powerful commitment to safety and health is hardwired into each of us. We're all personally accountable- to our colleagues, clients, families, communities and ourselves." So, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the value they place on safety, how their emphasis on safety aligns with yours, and that of your previous employers to more adequately answer this question.

Kevin Downey

"I care about my own well-being, and for the well-being of those I care about, and I care about everyone on my teams. I also believe always doing the right thing is the right thing to do, and that includes protecting the assets of the workplace. So, I would say I am very committed to safety."
