The Keys to ACE’s Success

 

Experience ACE

As an independent systems integrator, our employees are the key to our success and the reason we can provide a comprehensive set of services to our customers. As we have grown throughout the last three decades, we focused on strategically hiring a diverse group of engineers including chemical, electrical, and mechanical. And, with each new hire, acquisition, or office opening, ACE leadership has maintained focus on the core elements that make ACE a great place to work. These core aspects of our culture revolve around providing a safe, stimulating, respectful, and rewarding work environment while also supporting professional and personal growth.

Between these core values and the meaningful projects ACE retains from local and Fortune 500 companies, ACE has an incredibly high employee retention rate and has been recognized as one of The News Journal’s Top Workplaces. For our clients, this all translates to assurance that you will be working with experienced engineers that are passionate about what they do, which will result in the best possible solution.

ACE is What You Make It

At ACE, our most successful employees are those who, over time, take their job and refine it to craft a unique role. This could mean honing their skills to be a subject matter expert for a niche we work in, serving as a generalist working across different industries and platforms, or becoming a mentor, project manager, or operations manager. Or it could mean shaping a role that focuses on specific tools or interesting technologies we work with. This could range from general software development down to the nitty-gritty of what we do to commission a system to being an expert in tools and best practices from a specific vendor . Whatever path an employee desires to take, ACE management will be there to support them every step of the way.

Not Just About the Work

While we all recognize the importance of working our hardest to get our customers the right solution on time and on budget, we also understand it is critical to take some time to step away from our desks or off the plant floor for a little bit. Our leadership team supports this by emphasizing that balance is critical and recognizing that all our employees have various activities and causes they are passionate about outside of work. We encourage our employees to share those passions, which has resulted in participation in group fun runs, karate classes, volleyball teams, and even an occasional ski trip. We also promote social activities for employees, from a friendly game of horseshoes out back to road trips to PAX Unplugged.

Additionally, a big part of our mission is focused on giving back to the communities in which we live and work in. ACE is committed to supporting STEM-related activities and initiatives. To support this, we have programs in place to help our employees have more time and resources available to support the causes they care about. With our talent, time, and funds, ACE has supported robotics competitions, youth outreach programs, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, to name a few.

Within the numerous industries we serve, we also work on an assortment of applications that range from core process and system controls to networking, cybersecurity, and MES.
