October is Employee Ownership Month, and we are proud to take this opportunity to reflect on what that means to us at Nitsch!
Nitsch is a 100% employee-owned company. This structure reflects our belief that the best long-term decisions are made by people who are personally invested in the outcomes.
At Nitsch, we’re building not just for today, but for tomorrow. We’re a generational firm that seeks to create success for our clients that extends well into the future, improving the communities in which we live and work for the people who use them.
“For me, employee ownership centers on creating a culture where people feel connected to our purpose and invested in our future. When employees think and act like owners, they bring a long-term perspective to their work, looking beyond the next project or the next quarter to create lasting value for our people, our clients, and our communities. That ownership mindset is an important part of what makes Nitsch unique.” – Jennifer Johnson, PE, President & CEO
When we put people at the core, something else happens: Our work becomes not just about what we do, but how we do it. Guided by our core values, not valuation – as well as a true commitment to collaborative leadership – each Nitsch employee takes personal responsibility to deliver an exceptional client experience, every time.
“Being employee-owned, our goals and values go well beyond just maximizing profits. Our clients know that high performance, responsiveness, and strong relationships are very important to us, and these qualities are evident through the work we do with them.” – Jared Gentilucci, PE, Deputy Director of Civil Engineering
Our collaborative approach extends to how we build and maintain Nitsch’s values-based culture. We believe that our firm culture is how we bring our purpose and mission to life; we recently wrote about how we build culture with intention here.
“I am proud to be a part of something bigger than my individual career, and to have a part in influencing how we grow as individuals and as a team!” – Jeffrey Bandini, PE, Senior Transportation Project Manager
“One of the things I love most about being an owner at Nitsch is that it means we have the opportunity to build the future we want to see! We all work together to make this company such a special place to work.” – Anna Luciano, CPSM, Vice President & Director of Marketing
As an employee-owned company, we show up for each other, our clients, and our communities every day with a shared commitment to Building Better Communities with You!
