Hands down, Opus attracts and retains the best talent in the industry. Everyone here is at the top of their field and very passionate about the work we are doing. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by them.

One of the things I like about this job is creating something completely new with each client. It never gets old. We get to create amazing environments for people to live and work in, and we are passionate about it. In fact, we tend to get really attached to the buildings and our clients.

In this industry, people tend to hop around from company to company, but not at Opus. People stay here for many years, if not their whole career. That kind of longevity says a lot about Opus' culture.

At Opus, we take good care of our clients and partners by always striving to go beyond their expectations. By being fair, transparent and generous, we form trusting relationships with them that last.

Our teams at Opus work hard to ensure client satisfaction, and we are always working toward that common goal together. We know when we did a good job when the client is happy and feels like it wasn't a difficult process.

I have a deep respect for Opus and the people who work here. Our culture is genuine. It's based on our values and a collaborative spirit. We work together with passion, drive and creativity and value new perspectives. That's why people come to work here – and why they stay so long.

The main reason I have stayed at Opus for my entire career is the people. I've never come across anyone here that I have not enjoyed working with, and I have always been impressed by how knowledgeable our associates are.

My favorite part of my career has been the opportunity to build strong relationships, both within Opus and with our business partners. My teammates at Opus have always inspired me to be my best, and I strive to have that same impact on others.

As project managers using the design-build model, we put our personal stamp on every project we manage. We help drive design and constructability decisions, and that has a big impact on project outcomes. It's really cool to drive around town and see projects I've been involved in and know that they were influenced by my work.

It's clear to me, based on my personal experience and interactions with others in the industry, that Opus is a special place to work. Everyone has been so encouraging and willing to help me develop into a better project manager and person.

At Opus we involve project managers from the start to the finish of a project. It enables you to be intimately involved with all details of the project. What I enjoy most about my job is at the end of a project, stepping back and seeing the creative work that happened. It's a great feeling to know I was an integral part of bringing it to fruition.
