Building for Tomorrow: How Becht’s Growth Reflects Our Commitment to People and Excellence

At Becht, growth is about more than just numbers; it’s about people, culture, and delivering exceptional solutions. This summer, we proudly welcomed our largest-ever New to Becht class—a key milestone in our journey of expansion. As we grow, our commitment to fostering a strong, loyal workforce remains steadfast, ensuring we continue to provide the highest-quality services to our clients.

Celebrating Our Largest New Hire Class

Becht recently hosted 60 new hires at the biggest New to Becht class in our history. These individuals arrive at Becht with diverse backgrounds, from recent graduates to seasoned industry leaders—enriching our team with fresh perspectives and a broad range of expertise. This record-breaking class not only represents growth, but also reflects the trust clients place in us and the opportunities created by our expanding reach.

Welcoming so many new faces underscores our reputation for excellence and ability to attract top talent. It also highlights the increasing demand for Becht’s innovative solutions across multiple industries, allowing us to continue helping clients succeed.

Why Becht Has Expanded

Over the past few years, Becht has experienced rapid expansion driven by increasing demand for our engineering consulting services. Clients across industries—from traditional energy to renewables—are seeking out Becht’s expertise to solve increasingly complex challenges, earning us new clients and larger projects.

As our team grows, so does our ability to provide industry-leading solutions that address our clients’ most critical needs. It’s an ongoing cycle of progress.

Building a Culture of Learning and Development

At Becht, growth is paired with a deep commitment to employee development. From day one, new hires are immersed in a culture of continuous learning and mentorship. Our training programs not only refine technical expertise but also cultivate leadership skills, preparing our team for long-term success.

Our focus on learning extends to all employees, with opportunities for professional growth available at every level. This commitment helps us draw in—and hold on to— top-tier professionals, ensuring that our workforce remains highly skilled and engaged.

Retaining Talent: What Sets Becht Apart

Amid rapid growth, Becht has managed to retain most of our workforce—a testament to the positive culture we’ve built. While many companies face significant turnover during expansion, Becht’s exceptionally high retention rates reflect our focus on employee satisfaction.

We emphasize work-life balance, flexible working arrangements, and programs that prioritize employee well-being. Our core value of “work hard and have fun” shines through in our engagement initiatives, making Becht a place where employees feel supported and valued. This culture of care fosters long-term loyalty, with employees staying because they know they can grow and thrive here.

Balancing Growth with Culture

As we expand, Becht remains true to the core values that have defined us. Leadership plays a crucial role in ensuring that our values—working hard and having fun, creative and innovative thinking, a relentless drive for excellence, “one team, one dream” collaboration, and passion and energy—guide everything we do.

Our leadership team works hard to maintain this culture by creating an environment where both new and long-tenured employees feel valued and empowered. This balance of growth and culture sets Becht apart as a workplace and a trusted partner for clients.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate the largest New to Becht class to date, we look ahead with excitement. With a talented and passionate workforce, Becht is better equipped than ever to meet our clients’ evolving needs. Our expanding team, combined with our dedication to innovation and excellence, enables us to tackle larger, more complex challenges with confidence.

Reflecting on the 2024 New to Becht class, Chuck Becht V, President, shared: “It was inspiring for me. It was our largest ever, with experience levels ranging from recent graduates to former refinery leaders. We’re grateful to our colleagues who foster a welcoming environment that continues to attract new talent, and to our partners in industry who support our ongoing growth journey.”

We’re not just growing in size—we’re building for tomorrow. The future looks bright for Becht, our employees, and our clients alike.
