“Here at Dietz & Company, investing in the professional growth of our staff is the foundation of our firm culture. We want our people to achieve their personal and professional goals, and we want them to feel supported and encouraged as they pursue them. This philosophy not only builds the confidence and the skills of our team, it helps us keep them as well,” said Jason Newman AIA, principal.

Kaeli Howard, architectural associate, said, “The experience of working for an EP Friendly Firm straight out of graduate studies has been pivotal in my early professional success. Being encouraged and supported as a valued member of my project teams helped me find my voice and set a sustainable foundation for the rest of my architectural career.”

“Since I started with an internship here during my undergrad, and now as a full-time employee, the Dietz team has been critical to the growth of my career. I am still relatively green as a junior staff member, so I’m glad that our firm culture offers the senior staff a chance to share their knowledge, provides professional development opportunities, and encourages me to meet my own career goals,” said Liam Bernier, architectural associate.
