TerraFirma Named 2025 Top Workplace in Oregon & Southwest Washington

We are thrilled to announce that TerraFirma Foundation Systems has been officially included in the 2025 Top Workplaces list for Oregon and Southwest Washington, as recognized by The Oregonian / OregonLive. This honor is especially meaningful because it’s grounded in the authentic voices of our own people—our employees—who evaluated our workplace culture, leadership, communication, and opportunities for growth through a confidential survey.

Over the years, TerraFirma has embraced a consistent philosophy: building a strong foundation internally is just as critical as building strong foundations for homes. That philosophy has been reflected in our history of recognition. In 2017, we earned a spot among The Oregonian’s Top 100 Workplaces. By 2019, Oregon Business named us one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in Oregon. We returned to the local Top Workplaces list in 2021. Most recently, in 2024, we took home a Top Workplace Culture Excellence award, illustrating our ongoing investment in the “soft infrastructure” of workplace respect, recognition, and employee care.

So what makes the 2025 award distinct? As always, the Top Workplaces program emphasizes rigorous evaluation of employee feedback. Rather than being a trophy purchased or a list compiled by external marketing, this award leans heavily on confidential opinions provided by staff—on how they feel about leadership transparency, team collaboration, personal growth, fairness, and the everyday lived experience. Because it’s rooted in those voices, it’s a powerful affirmation of where we are and where we continue to strive.

In reflecting on why so many TerraFirma employees rise to be long-tenured contributors, one theme stands out: people feel their work here is meaningful. They know what they do matters for homeowners and communities. Employees often highlight our supportive benefits and inclusive culture, where leadership listens and invests in development. While no company is perfect and we always strive to improve, this recognition proves that the TerraFirma culture is heading in the right direction.

We’re immensely proud of the TerraFirma team. From our design offices to field crews, from our regional branches to support staff, every individual contributes to the values that underlie this recognition: integrity, respect, development, and mutual accountability. Whenever issues arise, we aim to face them collaboratively; when wins come, we celebrate them together. Our approach has always been simple: strong teams build strong results—for both our customers and for each other.

In accepting this 2025 award, we also look ahead with momentum. The home repair, foundation stabilization, and moisture control markets in Oregon and Washington continue to evolve, and we believe the best way to stay ahead is by investing in the people who deliver our work. As new challenges arise—changing building codes, shifting climate patterns, tighter supply chains—our adaptability, innovation, and responsiveness will depend on empowered, talented, and supported teams. This recognition is a reminder that we’re getting something right internally, and it’s a call to keep pushing further.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a career that is both grounded and growth-oriented, now is the perfect time to explore opportunities at TerraFirma. We are currently hiring across many roles, from design and engineering to field operations, administrative support, sales, and customer service. We offer a benefits package designed to support individuals and families: competitive pay, health insurance, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and family milestone support. We work hard to maintain flexibility when life demands it—whether for emergencies, family care, or rest. More than that, our long-term employees often share that it’s the sense of belonging and shared mission they value most. If you’re looking for meaningful work with professional growth and a team that values your contribution, we invite you to explore current openings on our Careers page. Come help us build strong foundations—for homes, customers, and your own career path.
