Careers
Guided by Relationships
At Jackola, relationships come before titles, egos, or org charts. We’re a group of genuinely good people who care about doing right by our clients—and by each other. Collaboration here is real, not performative. Questions are welcomed, knowledge is shared, and humility is expected. No one has all the answers, and that’s exactly why we work so well together.
We believe strong relationships create better outcomes—stronger teams, clearer communication, and work we’re proud to put our names on. When people feel respected and supported, they do their best work. That belief guides how we mentor, how we collaborate across disciplines, and how we show up every day.
Do work that matters, with people who have your back. Learn, grow, and help shape communities along the way.

Built on Trust
At Jackola, people come first — always. We believe the strongest work grows from trust, humility, and genuine collaboration, where relationships matter more than titles and teamwork is simply how we operate.
Our teams work side by side across disciplines and offices, supporting one another through challenges and learning from different perspectives. We invest in growth through mentorship, shared knowledge, and opportunities to take on meaningful responsibility.
Here, trust means showing up for each other, communicating openly, and taking pride in work that makes a real difference. It’s how we build strong teams, deliver thoughtful solutions, and create lasting impact in the communities we serve.
Rooted in Relationships
Jackola builds communities by building relationships first. Rooted in founder Thor Jackola’s personal approach, our firm was shaped by the belief that trust, respect, and genuine care create better outcomes — for clients, communities, and the people doing the work.
We treat our team members, clients, and partners like family, valuing open communication, collaboration, and shared responsibility. Across disciplines and offices, our teams support one another, learn from different perspectives, and work together to solve challenges with clarity and purpose.
More than an architecture and engineering firm, Jackola is a place where people are encouraged to grow, contribute, and build lasting partnerships. By showing up with consistency, accountability, and care, we create solutions — and careers — that stand the test of time.
Why Work for Jackola?
Support for You and Your Family
Jackola covers the full cost of employee health, dental, and vision. Life and short-term disability are also employer-paid, and dependents are supported with shared premiums.
Growth That’s Invested In

Time That Respects Real Life
Vacation accrues from day one, plus paid holidays (including a few half-days). Flexible weekday scheduling is available for many roles while still protecting team collaboration time.
Stability You Can Build On
Employees can participate in the 401(k) plan right away and Jackola matches contributions up to 5%. Plus, practical extras like a monthly cell phone stipend and wellness/perks (gym support, Costco reimbursement, annual apparel allowance).
A Culture Built on Trust and Community
Jackola is rooted in the communities we serve and operates like a team — approachable, collaborative, and accountable. The handbook emphasizes respect in the workplace, clear standards, and a formal problem-resolution path so concerns are heard and handled.
