Life @ Nitsch

Ethics are the foundation of every decision we make and everything we do. This means that we are committed to doing the right thing for the right reason. One key example of ethics in action at Nitsch can be found in our commitment to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment where all voices are valued and heard.

As an employee, it’s frustrating when you feel like you don’t know what the management team is thinking, or where your company is headed. That’s why Nitsch thinks it’s critical to keep all employees informed and engaged. We consistently update employees on the company’s financial performance, corporate news, and strategic plan progress.

Nitsch is committed to making our communities stronger and more sustainable, and to supporting our employees in making positive contributions to our communities and the environment. Nitsch Cares, our employee-led committee that acts as a steward for our communities, coordinates our corporate charitable giving (including a donation matching program for employees), organizes fundraising initiatives, and plans group volunteer opportunities.

We all have room to learn and grow, and Nitsch encourages our employees to do just that. Nitsch University (NitschU) provides employees with the opportunity to learn technical and business skills in a casual environment, while our Leadership Development Program and career pathing provides many opportunities for employees to build and develop their leadership skills. We actively encourage employees to join professional societies, and support them in joining committees and participating in skill- and leadership-building programs.

No two lives are the same, and we know that each employee has their own unique needs when it comes to pursuing work-life balance. For that reason, Nitsch has long provided an environment of respect and flexibility for our employees. Our Work/Life Flexibility Policy provides eligible employees with increased flexibility in their work schedule, with options that include flex-time, compressed schedules, and remote/hybrid work arrangements.

Our planners, land surveyors, and engineers make sure that quality and safety stay top of mind on all of our projects. To support them, our QA/QC committee works to provide consistency and cross-department communication on a wide variety of QA/QC topics. On the safety side, our clear safety protocols and checklists help employees feel confident and stay safe on project sites.

Every company claims that they provide excellent client service – but our clients back that up by describing Nitsch’s services as responsive, quality, and collaborative. This client satisfaction is the direct result of the commitment that each employee makes to be a proactive advocate for their clients; Nitsch works with employees at all levels to provide them with the support and tools they need to do so.

To be a truly great place to work, a company must have a strong financial foundation to meet the needs of today while being agile for the future. At Nitsch Engineering, we focus on running a profitable business and giving back to employees through bonuses when the company does well. But we also recognize that a company’s health isn’t just about the bottom line – it’s also about having a sense of community and belonging. Our internal committees and Employee Resource Groups – all of which have corporate champions – create supportive spaces and plan fun activities to benefit all of our employees.
