As a young engineer, Wright-Pierce has made me feel supported, strong, and excited for my future career.
I made a mid-career move to Wright-Pierce and am impressed with how people at all levels in the company are open to my ideas, have my back, and allow my entrepreneurial spirit to thrive.
I appreciate the interconnectedness of each discipline at Wright-Pierce. I like how all the pieces of that puzzle come together. I’m happy to be a part of it.
What I love the most is that the entire firm has a strong, cohesive culture. We never skip a beat. We know about each other and support each other.
Be Yourself at Wright-Pierce
We are committed to building a culture where diversity, inclusion and individuality are valued, and staff are comfortable expressing themselves. Our goal is to proactively meet clients’ and staff’s desire for Wright-Pierce to be a close reflection of the communities we serve and to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. From upper management to all levels of employees, we focus on community and caring for each other and our clients. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace devoted to developing a diverse workforce across all our offices and locations.
I learned from great mentors and had exciting opportunities as a young engineer at Wright-Pierce in 2002. Today, I’m part of the leadership team and am proud to train the next generation.
Each layer of design work I’m able to participate in offers various learning opportunities and continues to expand my technical knowledge. I enjoy being able to see our designs come to life and improve our communities.
Wright-Pierce has given me all the tools and resources to succeed in my engineering discipline, and all my colleagues are so kind and welcoming you feel like you have a second family.
A big reason I came here was hearing about the work life balance. It’s lip service for some, but Wright-Pierce has policies in place which make it real. When I started, I had to get used to not checking email on the weekend–it wasn’t necessary or expected the way it is elsewhere.
