About Us

Our Culture: Safety & Inclusion

Safety – First & foremost, all of us at APS genuinely care about each other. 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. When you care about the person working next to you, you have their backs to 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 do what we are there to do: be successful.

Inclusion – The APS team is made up 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 in the workplace is just as important as physical safety. Every team member is both respected and heard; we are free to be our confident and productive selves.

Transparency – 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.

Connection – Every year, we host various social functions, from salmon fishing in Ilwaco to our annual picnic and sports tournament, 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 and caring about one another through trade lines and rank. We’re a team who likes what they do and who they work beside. When you bring this positive culture to the job site, it’s contagious and successful.
