At the core of DEW Construction’s culture are three guiding values: Optimism, initiative, and accountability. These principles shape decision-making, influence daily operations, and foster a workplace environment that consistently attracts and retains talent.
DEW’s benefits package provides team members with 16 to 20 days of paid time off, six personal days, and seven paid holidays annually. Employees are also granted eight hours of paid volunteer time each year, and DEW matches employee charitable contributions up to $150. A dedicated Culture Committee organizes quarterly community service initiatives, including food drives, participation in the annual Special Olympics Penguin Plunge, and preparing meals at the Ronald McDonald House.
Health and wellness are also top priorities. DEW’s wellness reimbursement program covers expenses for gym memberships, exercise equipment, ski passes, yoga classes, and routine wellness checks. The company also fully funds short-term and long-term disability insurance.
To support team growth and engagement, DEW offers a referral bonus program: Employees receive $500 when a referred candidate is hired, and an additional $1,500 when the new hire reaches their six-month milestone.
Mentorship and knowledge-sharing are deeply embedded in DEW’s culture. Experienced professionals actively mentor, train, and support colleagues. Project teams intentionally include seasoned and emerging professionals to encourage cross-generational knowledge exchange.
Employee appreciation is another cornerstone of DEW’s workplace culture. The company regularly hosts team lunches, BBQs, holiday parties, and employee field days, and provides DEW-branded swag as both a welcome gift and as ongoing tokens of appreciation. DEW also celebrates many meaningful occasions, including employee and company milestone anniversaries, Employee Appreciation Day, Construction Safety Week, and Mental Health Awareness Month.
