Our Greatest Asset Is Our People
As a company, Hawkins has been fortunate to be guided by a group of incredible leaders for several decades. Meet the talented team of leaders at Hawkins that drives our momentum, manages our projects and delivers our success across the country.
Built With the Right Stuff, From the Inside Out
Hawkins was built on the principles of integrity. We pride ourselves on fairness and honesty with our employees and clients, offering our professional services to clients as if they were part of the family. But our culture of integrity is more than just a word. It's important to us to enhance the communities we serve authentically, and that sentiment extends beyond our real estate development. We volunteer, donate, engage and do what we can to help the communities where we operate.
Strong Communities Require Strong Corporate Support
As we build and manage real estate in our communities, we understand that we are building more than just physical structures: We are actively contributing to the community’s makeup. As such, we at Hawkins always operate to be good stewards of the community in any way we can, including community involvement.
Join a Team That Makes You Truly Feel Valued
The best way to gauge a healthy working environment is tenure, and Hawkins employees tend to stick around for a while. Walk the halls and you’ll be greeted by people celebrating 5-, 10- and even 20-year anniversaries because our culture supports its people across the entire team.
