Designing a Better Future
Sustainability is part of Switch Engineering’s DNA. We integrate sustainable design principles in all of our work processes as a course of business. Sustainable Design is not another service we provide. It is who we are.
Safety, Health & Welfare
The safety, health, and welfare of our employees is a value, not a behavior. We are committed to promoting healthy living and care by providing a safe working environment for all our employees.
Honesty & Integrity
We conduct all of our business with openness, honesty, and integrity. We do not accept bad profits – profits that are earned at the expense of our customers, employees, or suppliers.
Creative & Inclusive Environment
The work that we undertake is managed in a creative and inclusive environment that fosters active communication and imaginative problem solving. We strive to maintain an open-source culture.
Giving Back
We value giving back to the local community through volunteering, charity, and sponsorship.
Learn & Play at Work
Incorporating lifelong learning and play into the work environment is important to promote and maintain creativity in problem solving.
