Company Overview

Henderson has grown from a three-person team in 1970 to more than 1,000 employees today, but our values have never wavered. We’ve always been committed to providing an open and inclusive workplace that helps people reach their full potential – both as engineers and individuals.

People can be themselves here. In fact, we’re known in the industry for our people-first culture. Our founder, Fran Henderson, set the tone 50 years ago, and our leadership continues to support a family-like atmosphere that welcomes all. Our vision is to build a better world. We believe that starts with embracing diversity of thought, which is why we’ve taken steps to ensure all Henderson employees have a voice and opportunities to grow. Our projects would be nothing without our people – and, not to brag, but our people are pretty great.


GET TO KNOW US

At Henderson, we’ve been known for our people-first culture and focus on client relationships for more than 50 years. We know good design requires great building partners to bring it to life, which is why we offer clients both engineering expertise as Henderson Engineers and construction experience as Henderson Building Solutions under one roof. As an employee-owned company, our core values drive us to put people first, lead in innovation, and to always be great partners. We strive to be a company of problem solvers and innovators who are always pushing to find new ideas and design solutions that help build a better world.

PROUD TO BE EMPLOYEE-OWNED
In 2021, Henderson officially became an employee-owned or ESOP company, making employees beneficial owners of stock in Henderson Companies (the parent company of Henderson Engineers and Henderson Building Solutions). Henderson moved to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) to preserve our people-first culture by placing the future success of the company into the hands of employees. Being part of an ESOP means every employee can directly impact the profitability and growth of the company along with their own retirement savings. When Henderson does well, so do our employees -- without investing any of their own funds!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE ENGINEERS
When you meet us, the difference is obvious and our casual dress code is just the start. We’re as passionate about people as we are about designing world-class buildings. We recognize engineers aren’t one-size-fits-all, which is why we’ve intentionally created an inclusive culture where all employees can do their best work. We focus on helping employees reach their career goals through weekly on-the-job technical training classes to discipline-specific training to senior project mentorship. We also offer paid parental leave and paid volunteer time to help our people succeed and contribute in their communities too.


JOIN OUR TEAM

LOOK FORWARD TO MONDAYS AGAIN
We hire great people and provide them a digital-first environment with the latest design tools and the work/life flexibility to succeed. Our people-first culture, on-the-job technical training, and industry-leading benefits set employees up for success from day one. When you work for us, you can work from anywhere whether that’s from one of our 12 offices nationwide, your home office, or the coffee shop down the street. We’re known for our technical savvy, but our people are what sets us apart. They’re behind the work we do, the problems we solve, and the mark we’re making on the industry – come join us and you could be, too.

OPPORTUNITIES NATIONWIDE
We’re invested in helping you create a diverse portfolio of project experience while building a career that’s meaningful, rewarding, and fun. We believe in work/life integration, which is why we offer employees the flexibility to work from one of our 12 offices across the US, from home, or the perfect mix of both.

DO MORE THAN GET COFFEE
Throughout your internship, you’ll get to experience it all. You’ll train on the most up-to-date industry software, contribute to cool projects, mingle at company social events, and get paid to volunteer for a meaningful community service project.
