Who we are at Milhouse

At Milhouse, the diversity of our team is our greatest asset. We are driven by the strength of our differences and growth of each individual and team.

We are dedicated to continuing to foster an award winning environment where people can aspire to greatness, feel prideful, share ideas and truly live and experience the culture of Milhouse. Our creative and talented team members bring their unique background and experience to every project, meeting, and collaborative effort to produce top-tier results.

That is why our people have always been our greatest asset. We are confident that we have the best people in the business who are driven to learn, grow, develop, and bring a mastery of the built environment to each and every project.

What makes Milhouse one of the best is the way the company works with its team members, offering them assistance when necessary, support as needed, and everything else to be successful. I feel comfortable working here because I feel like I am well taken care of. I would be remiss not to mention Milhouse's all-star benefits package, which I can't speak highly enough about. While we work hard at Milhouse, it's nice to know we all are taken care of on the back end of things, whether it's with insurance, sick leave, 401(k), all the way to the pet insurance. It really helps!

Milhouse feels like family. I enjoy coming into work everyday because I love what I do, but a bigger reason is the people I work with. I am surrounded by lovely team members who share the same compassion for work and want to see Milhouse succeed the same way I do. This passion and drive comes from the work environment and culture that Milhouse was able to create over the years. The Milhouse lion energy brings everyone together as one, as we are all the lion.

My favorite part about working with Milhouse’s Civil/Transportation group is the supportive and inclusive culture. The team environment encourages collaboration, learning, and growth, which has helped me develop both personally and professionally. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects and gain experience in various areas like drainage, site civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering. Being surrounded by passionate, diverse professionals who freely share their knowledge has made my experience at Milhouse truly rewarding.
