Total Benefits. Total Rewards.

We’re at our best when you are too.

As an internationally recognized leader in architecture and engineering, we pay attention to the details. Our remarkable benefits package is no different, crafted with precision and surpassing industry norms to meet the multifaceted needs of our diverse team at every phase of life. We look to support your physical and mental health, encourage work-life balance, and empower your career and financial success. From enhanced medical coverage and progressive parental support policies to generous time off and a comprehensive employee assistance program, our benefits ensure a culture of care that celebrates your contributions. 

Recognizing that work is a part of life, not the entirety of it, SSOE’s wellness initiatives are thoughtfully designed to blend personal fulfillment and professional achievement. We offer benefits that are competitive and cost-effective without compromising quality—because a rich, well-rounded life is your right and our commitment. In a way, we like to think you being your best self is our business.

And we know that benefits go beyond wellness. We provide perks like a robust 401(k) match and work to ensure pay equity across our organization. In addition to your base pay, we offer discretionary components such as incentive bonuses, paid overtime, and rewards programs to keep you motivated and moving forward.

    “I value working in an environment that is both friendly and supportive of the work-life balance essential for family life. Balancing children and work is both challenging and rewarding, and SSOE’s hybrid work model provides the flexibility to work from home on certain days, which is crucial in today’s world whether you have children or not. Even better, everyone at SSOE understands and values this balance.”

    Loni, Architect

    “The diverse range of projects, opportunities, and experiences at SSOE have been a huge asset to my career. My manager and I consistently find ways to support my growth and advancement goals while maintaining productivity. Additionally, the stock ownership program makes my hard work feel even more rewarding and tangible.”

    Ralph, Mechanical Utilities Specialist

    “Life is about relationships. At SSOE, we have a variety of professional committees, local office clubs, employee-driven Employee Resource Groups, philanthropy groups, volunteer opportunities, and mentorship programs.

    These initiatives offer valuable opportunities to meet and collaborate with colleagues both locally and globally, fostering professional and personal relationships in a safe environment. Through these avenues, I feel valued not only as an individual employee but also as part of our collective employee culture.”

    Tim Vargo, Project Manager

    “SSOE provides benefits packages that actually support the needs and interests of its diverse workforce. I was invited, along with other representatives of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), to collaborate on our wellness package through the unique lens of our LGBTQIA+ employees. We discussed what truly matters to LGBTQIA+ people and their growing families throughout every stage of life.

    Through collaboration with our LGBTQIA+ employees, their opinions were represented and valued, and those informed conversations helped shape the benefits packages that SSOE now offers. When employees are given a seat at the table and treated with compassion and respect, it speaks to a company culture that truly cares about its employees and their lives outside of the office walls.”

    Deanna, DEI Specialist
