In the current employment landscape, job seekers have the advantage, and we know that you have a choice of firms to join and contribute your skills and talents. It’s a significant decision. There are many reasons that one firm may be a better for for you over another, (so we want to be up front about who we are and what we expect from ourselves and from our employees. Why Work at Garing, Taylor & Associates, Inc.? Well, Values, of Course... Aside from the phenomenal, cutting edge benefits package (for competing firms in our region - see video above) : We truly VALUE our values ( Sounds like a no-brainer, right? It's not!) . We value and develop the right kind of people for the job. We value ( and are VALUED by ) our clients and the communities in which we are so honored to do our very meaningful work! At GTA, we hold the values of being Trustworthy, Helpful, Involved and Remarkable . We work with, and for, people, companies and agencies with visions that align with our own. Be Trustworthy Being Trusted in our community is part of our DNA . Since our beginning in 1962, our founders built trust equity in the community by doing the work at hand in an honest, humble and smart manner. Everything we do is a trust exchange, and our clients buy into us as a team in as much as they trust the whole team. Be Helpful Although some clients do not expect us to Be Helpful beyond providing exactly what they asked for, we prefer our consultant-forward approach, lending our expertise and guidance as technical professionals. We care about our clients’ projects and welcome the chance to provide consultation that may help save a client time, money, head or heartache . This is part of OUR WHY. We love this work because we are afforded the opportunity to surprise people with thoughts, opinions and solutions that would not come out of the typical (unremarkable) engineering firm. Be Involved Our Involvement in the community is a necessary component of trustworthiness. We were founded to be deeply involved in the engineering and surveying projects that have shaped the Central Coast and to help our community grow and flourish. We want to continue our positive legacy, so continuing to show up and be active with our time and money, without expectations, is how we remain core members of our community . We go to City Council meetings, Service District Board meetings, chamber meetings, fundraisers, school functions. We give shout-outs and recognize the community service organizations and other businesses that are doing important work and are giving back to the people in our cities. Be Remarkable Engineering firms are often seen as a boring black box; input a project and out comes a bunch of calculations and drawings. Definitely not Remarkable. However, we at GTA think that it’s important to be remarkable in every project and interaction . We will always seek to exceed expectations and find ways to be more efficient or provide a better solution to the challenges we face. We will hire you because you are, in your own way, quite remarkable as well. In Closing Do you want to work with a company that strives to be trustworthy, helpful, involved and remarkable? If you do, then consider joining the team at GTA. Please understand that we believe our employees are NOT our greatest asset; rather we believe that THE RIGHT EMPLOYEES are our greatest asset. We hire people who we believe will be the right person for a position, and we strive to demonstrate how very valuable our team members are to us. Wherever you choose to start the next chapter in your career story, please remember: The Universe is conspiring for your success. We’re here to help you make it happen.
