Doing the right thing, the right way.

When you’re doing something for the right reasons, it seems to come easier.

It’s why our core values are built on the foundation, “Do the right thing, the right way.” Those words aren’t just lip service – our cofounder Jim Fei used it as the guiding light for the Life Cycle Engineering team. 

It’s the reason we’ve invested in our ohana, or ‘family’ – both within our organization and within our communities. Our employee-owned business means that this is more than just a job. Nothing we do is transactional, and no task happens in isolation. We don’t believe in success without helping people reach their potential. 

Since 1976, our team has been providing engineering solutions and reliability consulting services that deliver lasting results for private industry, public entities, government organizations and the military. We’ve also been focused on building a great place to work.

Dealing honestly and fairly with others and doing our best to make the right choices helps us achieve our business goals and maintain a great working environment. We want our team members to thrive because of the environment we’ve created, not despite it. 

We believe in giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our employees volunteer their time and resources to support a variety of causes that align with our values.

The Heart of Our Workplace Culture

At LCE, we are dedicated to creating a workplace that celebrates diversity and fosters equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our leadership team, Inclusion & Diversity group, in collaboration with the Veterans Employee Resource Group (VERG), is instrumental in championing these principles under our mantra of “Do the Right Thing, The Right Way”

The mission of the LCE VERG is to serve as a strategic partner in cultivating a culture of diversity and inclusion through continuous learning. This group is dedicated to advancing the understanding and inclusion of employees with similar backgrounds, interests, and goals, while aligning its vision, mission, goals, and activities with those of LCE. The VERG serves as a valuable mechanism for various initiatives, including assisting in the referral and hiring of veteran employees, offering support to veteran family members and friends, establishing programs aligned with LCE’s goals, providing recognition and support for employee growth, and aiding managers in finding innovative solutions to challenges. Through shared experiences and a commitment to professional development, the LCE VERG creates a supportive community for veteran employees, ultimately contributing to the success of our clients, community, and company as a whole.
