Pure Power Voted NJBIZ Best Places To Work 2023

Pure Power Engineering, an engineering firm specializing in designing complex and high-profile solar + energy storage systems, has recently been recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work in New Jersey" by NJBIZ!  This award is "based upon the results of a survey from none other than their own employees...NJBIZ confidentially collects data, allowing workers to share feedback about their employers, and for those companies to learn from and act on that knowledge".

PPE has continuously prioritized its employees and fostered an environment that promotes growth, diversity, and work-life balance. When it comes to finding the perfect workplace, employees consider several factors, including company culture, management training, great benefits, and more. This article will explore why Pure Power Engineering is a standout employer and a dream workplace.

1. 5-Star Glassdoor Rating

A company's Glassdoor rating can speak volumes about employee satisfaction and the work environment. Pure Power Engineering proudly boasts a 5-Star Glassdoor Rating, a testament to the positive experiences shared by its employees over the past decade. Prospective employees can gain insight into the company's culture and values through the feedback provided by current and former teammates. 

2. Stable & Consistent Growth

Pure Power has grown every year, with zero down years. Eight months into 2023, and we are ahead of pace on our 2023 goal.  

Why is company growth important? Because a growing company creates advancement opportunities for its members. If your current company isn’t growing as fast as your skills are, then you are being held back while you wait for someone more senior to resign and open up a position.  

That’s not the case here at Pure Power. Everyone is moving up each year! Join Pure Power and grow with us year after year. 

3. High Retention, Low Turnover

In the USA, employees are leaving their jobs in record numbers. Most of the solar industry is the same, somewhere between the analogies of a revolving door and the solar coaster.

But not at Pure Power Engineering! Our culture is so strong that we have almost no turnover. We have completed designs on 2,000+ projects between 100kW-100MW in size, and a huge % of that experience is still with the company.  

4. Diversity & Inclusion

Pure Power Engineering is leading the change to improve lives by engineering greener, more innovative energy solutions that the world needs to achieve a net zero future. This mission is built by creating an environment where diversity and inclusion are evident in everything we do. Our success centers on attracting the best engineers and talent from around the globe, building a diverse team, and creating a workplace where everyone is welcomed, valued, and supported. We recognize that a diverse team coupled with a strong sense of community is crucial to maintain our innovation, diversity of thought, and resilience to overcome the challenges ahead. Together we can build a better workplace and a better world! 

5. Experienced Mentors

Looking for mentors to help take your career to the next level?   

Young engineers grow fast when mentored by highly experienced engineers & managers. Even the most senior engineers will find mentors to learn from at Pure Power (1 in 4 of our 80 engineers are licensed PEs). 

A key part of our culture is sharing knowledge. Join Pure Power to surround yourself with the most experienced engineering mentors in the industry and accelerate your professional development! 

6. Emphasis on Management & Soft Skills

Want to be a great engineering “manager” or teammate? That takes a lot more than technical skills (AKA hard skills). 

That’s why Pure Power emphasizes management & soft skills training for all levels of our staff. We prepare engineers for management roles before and after they receive the promotion. Technologies change quickly, but the principles for managing people and projects don’t. The soft skills you will gain at Pure Power will benefit your entire career. 

Come work under our great managers (a top reason our engineers rarely leave the company), and become one yourself! 

7. Always Something New to Learn

Working on diverse projects can be a refreshing and intellectually stimulating experience. Pure Power Engineering offers its engineers exposure to various projects and equipment, catering to different types of systems, racking, equipment, and design architectures. This continuous exposure ensures that employees stay challenged, engaged, and always learning in their roles.

8. Great Benefits Package

Taking care of its employees is a top priority for Pure Power Engineering. The company offers an extensive benefits package, including comprehensive healthcare coverage, financial support for education and professional development, retirement plans, wellness programs, flexible work-from-home options, and much more. These benefits demonstrate the company's commitment to the well-being of its workforce.

9. Work-Life Balance

These initiatives, from social gatherings to athletic activities, create a sense of community and foster a positive work environment.

10. Convenient Location

With easy access to public transportation options from New York City and Northern NJ, commuting to the office is hassle-free.
