Our Culture
-
Our safety culture is built on a solid foundation of workplace family. Here, you are not just a number. You have a name, a family, and a life outside of work. At APS, we genuinely care about each other. When you care about the person working next to you, you make sure they go home safely to their families every night. A job with a positive atmosphere generally translates to a safe, clean, and profitable project, with each individual looking out for the other so we can be successful.
-
Our team is comprised of people from all walks of life, so inclusion is vital. Through our partnership with AGC and their Culture of Care program, we strive for both a physically and psychologically safe work environment. Psychological safety is just as important as physical safety in the workplace. Every team member is both respected and heard; we are free to be our confident and productive selves.
-
From our founder’s humble beginnings comes the small business style of openness. With everything from job award notices to profit-sharing bonuses, every person at APS knows how the company is doing. As a result, every member is valued and included. As we continue to grow, our transparency does not waiver.
-
Every year we host various social functions like salmon fishing on the Washington coast, an employee appreciation picnic, family skate nights, pheasant hunting, and an epic year-end holiday party. Each function provides an opportunity for genuine connections with each other and our families. Our relationships fuel the culture of loyalty to one another through trade lines and rank. When you bring this positive culture to the job site, it’s contagious and successful.
