Employee Testimonials
The construction field is continuing to evolve and grow and it's very important that we embrace all for their uniqueness and individuality.
Hourigan is a great place to work because the type of work we produce advances the world around us in meaningful ways, and the people we work alongside with in that mission are highly ethical and value-driven people.
What makes Hourigan a great place to work that is unique, is the emphasis they put on community involvement. I have never worked for a company that actively offers up community volunteer opportunities as much as we do. Also, I love that our THRIVE and BEAM program are championed by employees and not just management. It feels great being able to come up with ideas for social events, volunteer opportunities, and more.
The culture is centered around our people and producing the best results for our clients. We take our core values seriously, we operate as a team, we care deeply, and are always trying to get better. It is fun to work with each other and our work is impactful to the communities we serve.
