Hixson Culture

HIXSON CULTURE

When you join Hixson, you enter a culture where associates are proud to be part of a unique team. Hixson has an environment where every team member is given the opportunity to flourish:

Each Hixson associate spends at least 40 hours of work time per year continuing their education, whether advancing their knowledge of a specific discipline or working on interpersonal skills.

Hixson believes that leadership springs from knowledge and abilities as well as seniority. Our associates are encouraged to share what they know and are rewarded based upon their contributions to our success, not driven by factors such as age or tenure of service.

The members of the firm that own Hixson believe in sharing its' profits with all associates based on their contribution to the company's success and have lived up to this by distributing significant bonuses in 20 of the past 25 years. They also believe in planning for a 40 to 50 hour work week (vs. 60+) for the sake of our associates and clients and the quality of the complex projects we deliver.

In-house capabilities include: Accounting, Architecture/Interior Design/Animation, Automation, Client Development, Civil Engineering, Construction Administration, Continuous Improvement, Cost Estimating, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Health & Safety, Human Resources, Information Systems, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Production Planning, Project Management, Refrigeration, Structural Engineering, and Systems Engineering Support Services.

The result of these policies is a very low turnover rate (Hixson's rate is about half of the industry average). That means stability in our careers, stability for our company, and most important, effective, knowledgeable and experienced performance from our associates for our clients. It all adds up to a great place to work! (In 2004 we won an award for being one of the best small/medium places to work in America.)
