SolTerra designs, builds and manages sustainable, livable mixed-use buildings and is also one of the largest installers of solar, living walls and green roofs in the Pacific Northwest. The company builds beautiful structures and installs green systems to reconnect people to nature, create community in urban environments, and make a positive impact on the earth.
“We will continue to scale in the coming years. As an employee-owned company, our staff has a vested interest in our successful growth. We believe this also gives us a stronger culture,” says Brian Heather, Founder and CEO of SolTerra.
"Our unprecedented employee-centric Reviews provide job seekers a real behind-the-scenes look into these workplace cultures. They are deeply rooted in a philosophy of openness and reflect the general trend we see in the increasing importance of transparency for both employers and employees," said Kim Peters, leader of Great Place to Work® Reviews.
