EMPLOYEE NETWORK GROUPS
We are committed to building a culture in which people from diverse backgrounds can come together, collaborate, experience a sense of belonging and thrive throughout their Thornton Tomasetti career journeys. Our employee network groups (ENGs) play an important role in engaging our people by ensuring diverse perspectives are heard, facilitating employee networking and career development, and building community. Our ENGs provide avenues for connection, psychologically safe spaces for authentic conversations, and opportunities to learn and grow together.

Mosaic, our multicultural employee network group, raises the visibility of underrepresented groups within the AEC industry, aids recruitment and retention of staff of all backgrounds, promotes cultural awareness, fosters and broadens professional networks, and provides opportunities for advancement.

Spectrum, our LGBTQIA+ employee network group, promotes an inclusive workplace community and advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) employees.

Life At Thornton Tomasetti
If you prefer out-of-the-box methods to by-the-book practices. If you favor flexibility over a rigid routine. If you enjoy getting outside your comfort zone more than staying in your lane, you’ve come to the right place.

Communities
of Practice

Engineering is a knowledge business. To function at the highest possible level requires capturing, cultivating and spreading ideas. This is what our Communities of Practice (CoPs) do: these self-organizing, grassroots entities are populated by employees united by a common passion. 

Learning & Development
The rapid expansion of knowledge, along with changes in our industry, require continuous learning. Our core value – we challenge people to grow – is a reflection of our commitment to providing lifelong learning opportunities.
