100% Employer-Paid Advanced Health and Wellness Clinic
Hoffman offers free advanced primary care and prescription coverage for all employees and their families through One Medical. This model takes what people have come to expect from standard healthcare appointments – the long waits, the frustratingly short appointments, the shuffle of specialist visits, the high costs and stress — and turns it upside down. No wait times, many convenient locations near our offices in OR and WA, and a model of care that focuses on whole health, not just symptoms.
100% Employee Ownership
Hoffman is owned entirely by active employees of the firm. Because our owners are vested in the long‑term viability of the company, they work tirelessly to achieve the best result for our clients, investing in our future through continued successful projects.
Training + Development
Hoffman provides our employees with a wide range of training and professional development opportunities. We call it “Building Our Builders.”
From the first day of employment, Hoffman team members have access to ongoing classes and seminars focused on improving the specific skills they need to thrive in their respective roles. Some subject areas include:
- OSHA 30
- Project Engineer Training
- Operations Management Development
- Super Leader Superintendent Development
- Negotiation Mastermind Class

Inclusion
Our company is stronger when our team members are supported by an inclusive culture. Hoffman works to incorporate diversity throughout our organization with inclusive hiring and retention practices, internship opportunities, and subcontractor recruiting. We also take a leadership role in organizations encouraging women and people of color to pursue construction careers.
Making construction sites more welcoming, especially for female and minority workers and apprentices, is an important part of our efforts to increase diversity on our projects. Hoffman is taking a proactive approach to make our job sites safer and more hospitable with a pilot program, Green Dot for the Trades, in partnership with Oregon Tradeswomen, that helps combat harassment, hazing, and bullying. Hoffman is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and Hoffman job sites are designated discrimination‑free and harassment‑free.
Community + Charitable Giving
Like the construction cranes and skyscrapers that we’re known for, Hoffman reaches high to support non‑profit and cultural organizations. Backed by the resources of the company, our employees generously give volunteer time and money to arts, literary, sports, social services, and healthcare causes.
Hoffman is also an industry leader in recruiting young people into the construction trades through participation in various mentorship and job training programs for students. As a company, Hoffman actively supports the goals of local community groups by providing specialized construction services and in‑kind contributions for important projects.
Career Paths
From recent college graduates to those with decades of experience, Hoffman offers opportunities for construction professionals at every stage of their career.
BIM & Virtual Design and Construction
Over 20 years ago, Hoffman pioneered the use of Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction applications on projects such as the Frank Gehry-designed MoPOP Museum, an extremely complex structure that was deemed “impossible” to build using conventional methods. Today our staff of experienced coordinators, specialists and technicians use state-of-the-art applications and tools to assist in all phases of preconstruction and construction, helping develop lean workflows using self-perform modeling, 4D and 5D development, scan data, and drone-based photogrammetry.
Safety
Planning, training, teamwork, individual vigilance; these are the hallmarks of Hoffman’s safety culture. More than simply policies and procedures, our Get Us There Safe (GUTS) campaign gives equal focus to the human side of the equation, instilling a deep commitment to safety that reaches from management to craftworkers. Our Safety Professionals are on the front lines, working to ensure that our jobsites reflect Hoffman’s safety culture at every level.
Professional Services
The action on the job site is only part of Hoffman’s day-to-day operations. We also rely on a deep bench of corporate professionals to keep our projects running smoothly and maintain our industry leadership. Employment opportunities at Hoffman range from Marketing and Business Development to Accounting, Information Technology, and more.
University Internship and New Graduate Programs
Our University internship and new graduate programs are more than opportunities; they’re incubators of dreams and launchpads for success. We take pride in hiring the very best in the business—and in helping each and every employee build a long and satisfying career.
