Holder uniquely and strategically operates as “one company” across the country. This includes a business model of traveling to where our clients need us to build their next project resulting in over 90 percent of our work coming from repeat clients. For our associates, this translates to traveling across the country to meet our clients’ project needs and promise a similar experience wherever we build. We always keep associates’ location preferences in mind when making project assignments and do our best to honor location requests. We acknowledge the long hours many projects require to deliver strong results to our clients, but we never want long hours to be a result of our culture. We value and support the work-life balance and offer Paid Time Off necessary to keep our associates happy and healthy, and performing their best.

Thank you for leaving a review! COVID-19 has presented many challenges to the workplace, but Holder has risen to meet that challenge by striving to meet our clients’ needs and keep jobsites operational. This has changed the way work, communicate, and implement safety protocols. With an incredible technology team, a safety-first mindset, and a focus on upholding our company culture, we stay on a successful path. Throughout COVID we have continued to hire new associates and interns. Our interns and new hires always jump right in with responsibilities that are valued and truly needed to keep us successful.
