The Employee Experience.
Feeling energized?
Culture starts with the right people.
We’re humbled by the fact that we’ve been awarded and recognized for being one of the best places to work year after year both regionally and nationally. Even with these recognitions, we challenge ourselves to improve who we are and what we do by adding exceptional talent to our amazing team.
Everyone at McAdams – engineers, planners, landscape architects, surveyors – believes growing each individual employee into their greatest potential is how we create a collaborative atmosphere of experience creation.
Learning is a big part of what we value. Our McAcademy program empowers employees with abundant seminars and training courses with dynamic professionals in our industry, and it’s a convenient way to earn professional development hours.
A work / life balance is important to us and our fringe benefits reflect that belief.
- In-house massages
- Concierge services (car washes, auto detailing, dry cleaning services, etc.)
- Company trip stipends (employee-only excursions for the added benefit of shared experiences)
- Free beverages and snacks
- Friday breakfast is on the house
We are part of the most interesting, iconic and impactful projects in the region, bringing together some of the most creative and intelligent solutions in the industry. Our work is relevant because we understand that it takes more than design and engineering to create places. It’s about applying thoughtfulness and resourcefulness to create meaningful experiences that energize our communities.

“McAdams is a great place to work because employees are valued and invested in to grow professionally. As an employee for the last 5+ years, I have been supported to set personal professional goals and had access to the tools necessary to achieve and exceed those goals.”
