Culture

Honesty, respect, and authenticity are not just ways of working: they’re ingrained in everything we do. We believe you can execute at the highest levels and still be humble. And we believe in the power of doing the right thing — as a positive force in our work, and a marker of who we are. 

What we offer

Lochner Cares

Impacting communities through action

Learn more

Lochner Cares is our platform for social responsibility – internally with our growing workforce and externally in the communities where we live and work. We independently operate an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) charity to assist Lochner employees with monetary grants, no-interest loans, and additional paid time off during times of emergency. Our teams organize and participate in volunteer and giving back activities and programs that support local communities.

A culture of autonomy

Our team is our biggest asset

None of our success is possible without a team that is expert, engaged, and accountable. We maintain a work environment that gives our people what they need, like the flexibility to follow their interests and the autonomy to make their own, empowered project decisions. We offer meaningful career advancement opportunities, a genuine work-life balance, and a caring, supportive culture. We celebrate our team and know that when someone comes to work with us, our people are often the deciding factor.

Collaboration in action

Every company believes in collaboration. But we truly live it. We’re teamwork oriented, because amazing things happen when smart people with diverse perspectives come together to solve problems. We source ideas from all levels of the company, and our leadership is always present to lend a hand. Above all, we listen to each other and to our clients, because true collaboration means accommodating many points of view.
