CORE VALUES

Here at Southland, we believe in building better people as well as better buildings. We strive to maintain high ethical standards in order to achieve our individual and corporate goals. Our core values play a key role in ensuring our success across the entire building lifecycle in energy management, engineering, maintenance, controls, and construction.

COMMUNITY

Our belief that an employee is more than someone to get the job done, means we respect that each person working at Southland has a life outside of the workplace. By promoting flexibility and a healthy work/life balance, Southland employees are able to remain passionate about what they do for years to come. With a focus on causes that resonate with our employees, we support a variety of organizations across that country and hold annual philanthropic events for the purposes of bettering our surroundings and the lives of those less fortunate.

Training Programs for Employees

At Southland, we believe time and money invested in the career development of the individuals that work here is also an investment in our business. The more our employees know, the better we are as a company.

Priding ourselves on the progressive nature of our work, Southland offers a variety of programs to better our employees. From technical trainings that assist individuals in the jobs they hold now to leadership development programs that help prepare them for future roles, our people are able to keep abreast of the latest industry trends and processes and lead us into the future.

On-the-job training, vendor training, and our web-based Southland Industries University courses are just a few of the ongoing learning opportunities available at Southland. In addition, we offer programs like field leadership training, participation in apprenticeship programs with local unions, continued education possibilities, and our internal Built to Lead program for our employees to utilize as a means of exceling at Southland as well as within our industry.
