Why work for us?
We might be biased, but we think there are plenty of reasons.
Community
Lykens Companies is one of Columbus’s largest property owners and most prolific developers. Our focus is on Columbus’s urban core: the Short North, Italian Village, Victorian Village, Weinland Park, Olde Towne East, and the Ohio State University’s campus area. Our growth only happens when Columbus grows—it’s the reason we take pride in our city and make every effort to grow in quality, not just quantity.
As a part of the Lykens Construction Team, you’ll ensure that each of our properties undergoes a thorough and high-end restoration and remodel, among other things. With the knowledge that you are directly impacting Columbus’s growth, you’ll take pride in a hard day’s work. As properties are finished and photos are taken, published, and shared online, you’ll be able to show off an elegant portfolio of all the projects you’ve accomplished.
Culture
Our company helps the Columbus community grow and develop, but that’s not the only community that we’re invested in. At Lykens Companies, our company culture emphasizes that we, as a business of many different people, operate as our own unified community. As part of the Lykens Team, you’ll be interacting with other employees in constructive, informative, and fun ways. You can expect a few team lunches and, of course, look forward to Beer Friday to start the weekends strong.
Consistency
Lykens Companies is growing and shows no signs of slowing down. Our expansion and drive means that our Construction Team has consistent and varying work to do. Frankly, we don’t have time for sitting around and watching paint dry. With Lykens Companies, there’s always a next project.
Creativity
Hundreds of properties mean there are hundreds of projects and hundreds of ways to complete them. Lykens Companies properties are remodeled and restored to the highest standard; our aesthetic must reflect our quality. Our Construction Team members have eyes as good as their hands. We are detail-oriented so we can drop the jaws of anyone who steps foot inside a Lykens Companies property.
Challenge
Our mission dictates our work ethic: work hard to make Columbus better. That is no small task, but building by building, we’re making it happen. However, it won’t happen without driven workers putting forth their best efforts each and everyday. Are you up for the challenge?
