100% Employee Owned
Proud to be 100% Employee-Owned!
At The Douglas Company, we are all owners. Being an owner is not just about owning stock. Employee ownership is a mindset. Moreover, an ownership mindset is an integral part of The Douglas Company culture.
Founded in 1976, The Douglas Company embraces our core values:
- Great client relationships with high customer loyalty
- Integrity and professionalism in all we do
- Keeping our commitments through proactive attention to detail and execution
- Growth of our Associates and Business through learning, teamwork, and leadership
Our culture is built from the exceptional people that make up our organization. When the decision was made in 2021 to become an employee-owned company, the opportunity to combine the legacy of an ownership mentality with an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) structure was a perfect fit.
So what does it mean to be employee-owned? Just what it says; our employees are the owners of The Douglas Company. Being 100% employee-owned means The Douglas Company employees/partners own 100% of the company. Each year, through the ESOP, the company purchases stock on behalf of its employees/partners, allowing them to share in its success.
Employee ownership is a different way of doing business, where all partners’ interests are directly aligned with the company. We are all 100% accountable and 100% invested. This commitment creates a powerful dynamic that benefits our partners, clients, and projects.

“Everyone on the operations team has been a mentor to me and it has been incredibly helpful. I can ask anyone a question, even if it is unrelated to their specific job, and they will help me. ”
Jakob Harshman
“ I have had the opportunity through multiple co-op experiences to work with several mentors within different departments. Each mentor has offered me a wide range of skills, from organizing themselves to knowing how to work with them. Overall, it has made me understand so much more about this industry quicker than I ever thought.”
Amanda Keener
“I have learned a lot about the industry and how things work that I had never learned before experiencing it at The Douglas Company myself.”
Blake Bustamante
“I really liked the atmosphere when I interviewed here. Everyone was really nice and was there to help if I needed anything. I wanted to be around a group of people that genuinely care about their jobs and love doing what they do. It doesn’t really feel like a job but more of a second home. ”
Stephanie Hill
“The Douglas Company gives me an inside look on how construction management works in the real world. It is hands on and you get experience from day 1. It is a goal orientated environment, which not only helps you with work but it creates better habits for your everyday life.”
