Many positions at Burns & McDonnell require some leadership, especially those holding an engineering position. And as they specify in their code of ethics, "every employee in a supervisory role is expected to periodically remind each member of his or her staff to review this guide." Ray Kowalik, their Chairman & CEO goes on to say, "It is up to us to maintain our reputation for high integrity by the actions we take every day."

"Integrity means many things to me. But, in the context of this question, I would say integrity means being ethical and honest at all times, and that integrity has everything to do with character. I actually went online and read through Burns & McDonnell's code of conduct. In many ways, it is similar to my current company's code of ethics. But, it is important to keep this in mind anytime you are making a decision, and how that decision would reflect on yourself and your company. So, in this, I would say our sense of integrity is well-aligned."
