When you join us, you take ownership in Hanson. You own a piece of our success, and your hard work inspires those around you. Your ownership makes a difference to our clients and the entire Hanson team.
As an employee-owned company, we strive to create a workplace environment that challenges and rewards ambitious, highly qualified and service-oriented employees who go the extra mile to give our clients the best possible results. Your efforts help us maintain our status as one of the top firms in the engineering industry.
We offer a competitive compensation program and a comprehensive employee benefits package designed to meet your professional, personal and family needs. Highlights of our benefits include a 401(k) plan with matching contribution, an employee stock ownership trust plan and stock purchase program, comprehensive medical insurance, professional development, employee recognition, flexible scheduling and a wellness program.
We empower you to pursue professional and personal development, offering reimbursement for school tuition, licensing and certifications. Training, mentoring, coaching and sharing are all aspects of our employee-owned philosophy, and we recognize and reward your accomplishments. We know that happiness outside of work equals productivity on the job, so we give you the flexibility to foster a healthy work-life balance. Our focus on you also translates into generous health and wellness benefits, open communication and a team-oriented environment.
Our paid summer internship program offers college students a multitude of full-time and part-time positions to complement their classroom experience. We hire many of our interns for permanent, full-time jobs upon their graduation.
Our health and wellness benefits for full-time and part-time employees are designed to help you focus on creating your best work-life balance. Our health plan allows you to visit any doctor you choose and includes a competitive prescription drug plan. You can even save time online with a telehealth visit. We also offer options for dental, vision and hearing insurance. If you join our comprehensive wellness program, you can earn incentives for your participation in healthy activities.
We offer a preferred provider organization (PPO) medical plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can see any doctor, in or out of network, including specialists, without a referral. Competitively priced prescription drug coverage is included in the plan. Whether you’re at home, work or on the road, you can also connect with a board-certified doctor 24/7/365 through convenient phone or video consults with MDLIVE.
In addition to the PPO plan, we offer a high-deductible health plan with the option to contribute to a health savings account. This plan features lower monthly premiums paired with a higher deductible, making it a cost-effective option for those who want to save for current and future healthcare expenses.
In compliance with the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule, machine-readable files are available for review. These files include negotiated service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts between health plans and healthcare providers. Click here to access the machine-readable files.
Science tells us it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown. Healthy teeth and gums are an essential part of your general health and well-being. To keep your smile bright, Hanson offers a quality dental plan through Principal.
Routine eye checkups can help you focus on details and read the fine print. They can also help detect various diseases and health problems years before you would otherwise show symptoms. Hanson offers vision coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP). When you enroll with VSP, you also receive hearing aid discounts.
Achieving our health goals is a journey, and sometimes it’s not easy. That’s why Hanson offers a wellness program partner that makes it easier for you to face life’s challenges by giving you access to tools, personal and group challenges, and best practices to inspire and reward you for making healthy choices.
When you’re creating change, sometimes you need someone to check in with you, monitor your progress and help you set realistic goals. Free of charge, you can work with a health coach who will discuss your lifestyle, interests and goals and create a personalized plan that fits your schedule. Health coaches specialize in nutrition, stress management, tobacco cessation, weight management and exercise.
As a Hanson employee, you can earn money for making healthy changes. Lower your medical premium by completing a biometric screening and meeting biometric target goals. Or earn a premium reduction by participating in health coaching.
Financial wellness is more than a paycheck. It’s about protecting the money you have by saving on taxes and insurance, as well as planning for unforeseen expenses. Your Hanson financial wellness benefits provide a solid foundation for building security during your working years.
Save on taxes by paying for eligible expenses with pre-tax dollars through a flexible spending account (FSA). A healthcare FSA allows you to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses that are not covered by your health plan using tax-free dollars. By contributing to a healthcare FSA, you can reduce your taxable income and may save 20% or more on eligible expenses. A dependent care FSA helps you pay for eligible dependent care expenses — such as daycare, preschool and before- and after-school care — with pre-tax dollars, making it easier to manage care costs for dependents while you work.
A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged personal savings account available to employees enrolled in the high-deductible health plan. It allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified health-related expenses (state taxation rules may apply). Eligible expenses include most medical care and services, prescription medications, dental and vision care, as well as costs associated with meeting your medical plan deductible. Funds in your HSA belong to you and can be used immediately or saved for future healthcare needs.
If you’re like many employees, your personal master plan may include providing a source of financial protection for those who rely on you for their support. Here’s good news: Hanson pays the full cost to provide you with basic term life insurance.
Hanson’s short-term and long-term disability insurance safeguards your paycheck and savings if you experience an accident or injury that prevents you from working. Coverage for both plans is fully paid by Hanson.
When a serious illness strikes, cancer and specified disease insurance can make things easier. This voluntary insurance coverage helps cover the cost of treatment for cancer or a covered specified disease. It also helps cover indirect costs, such as lost income, housekeeping expenses, child-care expenses, special diets, special clothes and prosthetics, transportation costs, meals and lodging while away from home.
As healthcare costs continue to rise, employees may face unplanned medical expenses. Optional coverage is available through critical illness, hospital indemnity, and accident insurance, which provide additional financial protection.
We all love our pets. For pet owners, the cost of providing unexpected veterinary care could add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars. Pet insurance helps protect you from the risk of these expenses by providing medical care for your pet at significant savings. Enrollment is easy, and you are free to use any veterinarian worldwide at discounted rates.
Identity theft can affect your finances, credit, benefits and more. LifeLock monitors your personal information. When activity occurs, you are alerted by email, text message or phone call. If the activity is a threat, a LifeLock identity restoration specialist will help resolve the issue. Hanson employees can receive discounted rates on two LifeLock protection plans.
Things can happen on the road. Passports get stolen or lost. Medical problems arise. Unexpected events derail travel plans. Travel assistance can help you with these issues and more at any time. You and your eligible family members are automatically covered for free as part of your basic life insurance provided by Hanson. Travel assistance is available for up to 180 days when you travel more than 100 miles from home, including internationally, for business or personal reasons.
Through our partner, Creative Financial Planning, you have access to a range of financial education services, as well as a dedicated financial wellness consultant, at no cost to you.
We pride ourselves on giving team members who contribute to our growth and prosperity the opportunity to share in our profitability. We give every eligible member of our team a stake in the company through stock ownership and generous retirement contributions. Our compensation philosophy celebrates collaboration and shared successes.
The Hanson Group 401(k) Plan lets you save and invest a portion of your paycheck automatically. You can choose to make your contributions on a pretax basis and/or an after-tax basis as a Roth contribution. Your plan contributions and matching contributions begin on your sixth-month anniversary date. To help your account grow, Hanson will match 50% of the first 6% you contribute to the plan.
Hanson employees can share directly in the profitability of the company as stockholders without investing their own money. The employee stock ownership trust is a qualified retirement plan that enables employees to own part of the company. Full-time, part-time and project employees become eligible for the plan on their sixth-month anniversary. Hanson contributions are allocated to all participants who are employed on the last day of the plan year, based on the ratio of the participant’s annual earnings to the total of all participants’ annual earnings.
Hanson is an employee-owned company and encourages employees to purchase company stock. All full-time and part-time employees who work at least 20 hours per week on a regular basis are eligible to purchase stock following one year of employment.
People are essential to our success, so we are committed to a culture that helps our employees develop personally and professionally. Our smart, collaborative professionals spend their careers working on interesting, challenging projects all around the world. All great minds need downtime, so Hanson offers work-life programs to help you balance your life and your career.
Hanson recognizes that time off is essential for promoting employee wellness. Our PTO policy helps us address the various stages of life that our employees balance daily. We want our benefits to be relevant and meet the needs of our changing workforce — young families, working mothers and fathers and employees who may be caring for an ill spouse or elderly parents. Your PTO is your time, advanced and available to employees in full each Jan. 1 and accrued each pay period throughout the year. Employees with 0–4 years of experience receive 15 days per year, while employees with 5–9 years receive 20 days and employees with 10 or more years earn 25 days.
Employees receive eight paid holidays per year, including the Friday after Thanksgiving and a floating holiday. (Employees with a start date of July 1 or later will not be eligible for floating holiday pay until the following year.)
We all work hard, but sometimes personal issues get in the way of doing our best on the job. Hanson offers an EAP with experienced clinicians who offer support, guidance and resources to help you and your family find the right balance between your work and home life. EAP services are free to employees.
Employee education, training and development play a crucial part in the success of our employees and Hanson. If you work full or part time and are not a special consultant or project employee, you can receive a maximum reimbursement of $5,250 per year for tuition, fees, books, equipment and supplies for courses at accredited colleges, universities and community colleges. We also offer Hanson University, a learning management system featuring a wide variety of virtual courses covering topics from software to safety training.
Hanson reimburses the cost of a wide variety of professional licenses and certifications for employees. For tips on how to study for one of them, the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, check out this blog post by Hannah O’Brien, a resident construction engineer at Hanson.
“Hanson understands that life happens. Having dealt with several medical issues, I experienced firsthand the care and compassion from Hanson staff regarding my situation, and I was permitted to keep working through it all. It was so empowering to know I was supported, and that kept me encouraged as I battled through.”
