Our People

At Tacoma, we’re proud that nearly all of our partners, associates, and staff have chosen to be a part of the team since the inception of their careers following post-secondary education.

Our firm has grown steadily to a staff of over 60 people, including professional engineers, project managers, technologists, and administration staff.

We have grown not for growth’s sake, but from an organic, grassroots approach stemming from the degree of quality in our engineering team. At Tacoma, we offer the personal development, autonomy, and employee ownership that maintains leaders in the industry to provide the highest level of work for our clients.

Working At Tacoma Engineers

We offer our employees the chance to work on challenging projects with customers they can be proud to support. They know that their hard work makes a positive impact on the community and we’re passionate about making them successful in every way possible.

Personal Development

Personal development is a key component of our success and is always a top priority. Learning opportunities include technical training, leadership, communication, self-management, and wellness in a variety of formats and environments. Team development is ongoing and involves group learning and sharing gatherings, weekly lunches, and 360-degree accountability sessions. We value team activities to enrich our work experience and build long-lasting personal relationships built on trust. We believe shared experiences, that connect our pasts to the present, make us stronger and more cohesive than any other type of communication.

Employee Ownership

Expanding the company ownership among key personnel is a major focus of our organization. We recognize that the fundamental assets of Tacoma Engineers are our employees’ education, training, experiences, and skills. We believe that the rewards from these resources should be shared by everyone through profit-sharing ownership.

Autonomy

Since its inception, our company has developed a culture of freedom and self-discipline, which has enabled our people to grow their own personal knowledge and skills within our core strength of structural engineering. Allowing employee passions to flourish creates both leaders within our firm and new avenues to expand the breadth of our engineering.
