Turner Group, an architectural and engineering firm, is guided by its mission: “Shaping Tomorrow, Together.” “We believe the best solutions come from working together—across disciplines, with our clients, and within our team—to create thoughtful, forward-looking results,” says President William Hickey. “Our culture encourages teamwork, professional growth and open communication, empowering employees to help shape the future of our projects and organization.”
That philosophy extends beyond client work. An open-door management style, biweekly company-wide meetings and an employee engagement committee give staff a direct voice in company initiatives. Employee suggestions have led to new benefits, expanded community partnerships, company-wide job site visits and volunteer efforts with organizations such as United Way and local schools.
Turner Group also rewards performance and commitment. In addition to quarterly performance bonuses, the firm’s “High Five” recognition program lets peers nominate coworkers who go above and beyond. Milestone anniversaries are celebrated with personalized gifts worth up to $1,000, while a display in the lobby recognizes every employee’s years of service.
Flexibility is another cornerstone of the firm’s culture. Employees can bank additional time off or extra pay through an Earned Bonus Time program. Salaried employees also benefit from flexible schedules, hybrid work options and support to attend family events during the workday. Beginning in 2026, Turner Group closed its office between Christmas and New Year’s, giving employees an additional paid week off.
The company invests in career growth by reimbursing professional memberships, continuing education, seminars and licensing exams. It also pays over 90% of premiums for employee and family health plans.
