How we elevate your game

Joining Wood Rodgers comes with perks to support you in your personal and professional journey.

• A Unique Culture: An engineering firm that doesn't feel like one. We are inventors that ask, "why not?" with leadership that empowers employees to grow, challenge convention, and develop creative solutions. We throw big parties, get random days off, and constantly are shown how the company reinvests in our employees rather than corporate bottom-lines. These all help build a great culture, but at the core are great people; people who want to learn, teach, help, and collaborate.
• Teamwork: experience what being a part of the Wood Rodgers family feels like. Be inspired by your leaders, be encouraged and cheered on by your teammates to live a big life, personally and professionally while you work with us.
