At JLG, we have approached the design of our company the same way we approach the design of our buildings – to stand the test of time.

Borne in 1989 and shaped by this vision of “legacy”, we transferred ownership of our organization to our employees in 2015 via a 100% S-corp ESOP.  In doing so, we made manifest a deep-seated value, that what we do is more than just “a job;” it’s about building a stable and enduring company that will draw and retain really great people who will actively contribute to the long-term success of the communities we serve.  

As one of the country’s 50 Best Places to Work (Inc. Magazine) and 50 Most Admired Companies (MSN Money), our 150 employee-owners – across 12 offices in four states – have a higher stake in the company and an opportunity to share in the rewards of our hard work.  Our JLGers come to work every day driven by a passion to inspire and innovate through design; to nurture collaborative, supportive, authentic relationships; to find new ways to uplift our communities; to be diligent stewards of our clients’, firm’s, and planet’s resources; and to do right by our customers, our communities, and ourselves.
