Mission and Vision

What do we really do at Applied Engineering and, more importantly, what do we plan to do next? These not-so-simple questions help us define our purpose and craft our future as a company – they shape our brand as it relates to our customers, our culture and our community. Fortunately, the answers are easy to follow:

Our Mission is to provide exceptional talent and technology to our customers.

Our Vision is to be the company people come to for the best engineering and IT work.

Whether you work here, want to work here, or work with us as a client, these key phrases form our very foundation as a company. The remind us all how the job gets done and where the work will take us.

Our Values

We all have a moral code that we follow. It’s what makes us work harder; it’s what makes us work together. And it’s made up of four essential attributes every single one of us shares.

Integrity: We mean what we say and deliver what we promise.
Quality: What we do, we do well.
Leadership: We are innovative and adaptable.
Ownership: We are owners, accountable for our actions and continuously improving our company.

These are the words we live by. They’re how we fulfill our mission and achieve our vision. They are critical to who we are as a company.

Our Position

At Applied we are different from our competition in many ways, but they can be summed up in one simple word: Fit.

Yes. It is that simple. When you think of Applied Engineering, we want you to know we fit better than any other firm. We fit your needs for engineering; we fit your needs for IT infrastructure and custom software; we fit your needs for reprographics; we fit right into your very organization, if that’s the way you want it.

Fit is the idea, and our official position reads as follows: Applied Engineering is the only firm with the talent and technology to fit your project, your process and your culture.

Our Personality

Our intentions, our actions and our communications reflect who we are, and at Applied, we know very well who that is. This is our personality, and we strive to make it come through clearly in every client interaction.
We are precise: We’re exacting. We bring the accuracy and meticulousness of elite engineers to everything we do.
We are devoted: We’re all-in. We’re immersed in the entire engineering and technology disciplines from the timeless principles to the most modern tools.
We are clear: We’re simplifiers. We make amazingly complex ideas extraordinarily easy to understand.
We are adaptable: We’re flexible. We have the experience, talent and infrastructure to work in different environments and on projects of every size.
