Life at Barge

Bring your work home,
not your worry.

The honest version: we work hard on projects we're proud of, and we go home for dinner. Here's what that looks like on a regular Tuesday.

Benefits

What ownership actually buys you.

Employee Stock Ownership

Every teammate earns ESOP shares. Your retirement grows with the firm you helped build.

Mentorship that's tracked

Pairing, PE prep, and licensure support are calendared — not someone's side project.

Flexible & hybrid

Most teams flex schedule and location. We hire grown-ups; we trust them to plan their week.

Healthcare worth using

Medical, dental, vision, plus mental-health support and paid parental leave.

PTO + paid volunteering

Rest is part of the work. So is showing up for the communities we design for.

Tuition & cert support

We pay for the credentials, conferences, and software that make you sharper.

Career path

Not a ladder. A stake that compounds.

1
Year 1

Land and learn

Onboarding pairs you with a discipline lead and a cross-team mentor. You're on real projects by week two.

2
Years 2–4

Get licensed, get credit

Structured PE/RA prep, exam fee coverage, and project authorship that travels with you.

3
Years 5+

Lead, teach, own more

Principal track, internal teaching, and a growing ESOP stake that compounds with the firm.

Where we are

Nashville, with reach.

Our home base is Nashville, Tennessee — a city growing about as fast as we are. From here, our 500+ teammates serve clients across all 50 states, with regional offices that keep us close to the projects, communities, and people we work with.
