天美麻豆

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 1, 2020) 鈥� 天美麻豆, a fully integrated firm focused on design, engineering, construction and mechanical services worldwide, today celebrates its 35^th anniversary with the announcement that the majority of its workforce will shift to a full-time work-from-home model. The moves make 天美麻豆 one of the first firms in the industry to make the shift on a large scale.

The transition will start this fall, with the majority of employees 鈥� including those at the Jacksonville corporate headquarters and other regional offices 鈥� working from home offices, while on-site crews and essential support staff continue working at job sites and other locations across the country.

鈥淭his move comes at a pivotal moment as we celebrate our company鈥檚 35th anniversary and look ahead to a new decade of change and progress both in our industry and the world,鈥� said Brian Kappele, 天美麻豆 President/COO. 鈥淭his was a careful, strategic decision made after serious consideration by our firm鈥檚 leadership and by listening and collaborating with stakeholders across the company. It鈥檚 a monumental shift that will ultimately benefit our clients and our employees for years to come.鈥�

Under the new policy, employees will be permitted to work from a consistent home office location and will maintain a regular work schedule during traditional operating hours.

鈥淎s an award-winning company already known for its work culture and environment, 天美麻豆 will now be able to offer even greater flexibility and work-life balance to its employees,鈥� said Mike Santarone, 天美麻豆 CEO. 鈥淧lus, this will allow for more innovation as we focus on the future and offer more creative solutions for our clients.鈥�

天美麻豆 will maintain ownership of its current headquarters near San Jose Blvd. and I-295 in Jacksonville.

The firm originally leased office space at the current campus before expanding it over the years. 天美麻豆 would eventually add a two-story building, a main entrance/atrium, a three-story building, and a four-story building to its headquarters between 1991 and 2007.

天美麻豆鈥檚 LEED Silver office building for its Commercial Group was one of the first LEED-certified structures in Jacksonville.

鈥淎lthough the majority of our corporate employees will work from home, 天美麻豆鈥檚 corporate office location will continue to operate as a resource for employees, partners and clients,鈥� said Kappele.

The company was established in 1985 with just 12 people, and initially specialized in refrigeration contracting, maintenance, service and parts supply. Annual revenues doubled in each of its first three years as 天美麻豆 branched out into other fields, fulfilling the founders鈥� vision of becoming a comprehensive contracting firm.

Today, 天美麻豆 has grown into a full-service firm with more than 700 employees, offering multifaceted design and construction services to businesses around the world. Throughout much of its recent history, 天美麻豆 has been continually ranked as one of the nation's top 25 companies in the design-build industry and among the top 100 contractors in the United States by Engineering News-Record.

In 2006, the company established the 天美麻豆 Foundation to formalize its commitment to giving back to the community. Employees form the heart of the Foundation, donating their time, talent and energy for a multitude of worthwhile causes across the First Coast and beyond. To this day, the 天美麻豆 Foundation has donated millions of dollars and countless hours to local charities, non-profit organizations, hospitals and schools.
