who we are
It all starts with an open mind and open doors.
The pursuit of partnership is embedded in our culture—has been since our inception in 1978.
We started out as a civil engineering firm but quickly realized diversity of talent is the key to tackling big challenges. Our services continue to expand so that we’re built to expertly execute projects from start to finish.
Today, our wheelhouse is broad, with four key service offerings: Buildings, Energy, Infrastructure, and Environmental.
It’s about more than creating, maintaining and resurrecting the buildings in which we work, learn, and engage – it’s about beautifying and bettering the communities we call home.

We’re growth-focused.
Joining a company with this kind of momentum provides no shortage of opportunity. When it comes to developing our team, our technology and our talent, we’re in go mode.
We’re not any one thing. LaBella is home to a diverse group of professionals who work together to solve complex problems. We’re architects, engineers, schedulers, program managers, planners, marketers, environmental scientists and more.

LaBella is a great place to work - but don’t just take our word for it. Through third-party assessments and employee surveys, we’ve achieved some significant accolades. Here’s a glimpse of some of the internal programs that contribute to our award-winning culture:
• Propel is a comprehensive leadership development program that accepts a cohort of 16-18 students annually. It’s a transformative program that combines training, coaching, and self-directed projects.
• LaBella University provides more than just lunch and learns: it’s a holistic approach to training and development designed to give our employees opportunities to further their professional and personal development and build institutional knowledge.
• Our Take Charge Wellness Program gives employees the power to proactively “recharge their batteries.” With resources dedicated to physical, mental, financial, and social health, our goal is to help employees re-charge before they become run down.
• Inclusion Council facilitates a culture where diversity, equality, and inclusion are valued.
• LaBella in the Community is an employee-led committee that organizes community service, fundraising, and philanthropy.
• Our Sunshine Committee is responsible for optimizing in-office morale and making LaBella the place you want to work. Members organize happy hours, friendly competitions, and de-stressers at least once a month.
• Our broad-based ownership structure offers employees the opportunity to become LaBella shareholders.
