The DDS Culture
We’re up before the sun rises and at work in the field no matter the weather. We’re built tough so we can build the infrastructure our communities needs most. We’ve built The DDS Companies with hard work, tenacity, and grit. We’re building careers and supporting families. We are built in boots and want you on our team.
THE DDS WAY
BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW.
In partnership with our parent company Artera, we believe in the dignity of all human beings. We believe that an inclusive mindset—be it race, ethnicity, religion, orientation, gender, age, background, experience or any other quality that makes each of us unique—adds depth and value to our team. We believe in an environment where every team member is included, respected and safe to share their thoughts and opinions. Discrimination and injustice have no place in our culture, our offices, or our job sites.
RESOURCES AND HEALTH ADVANTAGES
BENEFITS YOU CAN GET BEHIND.
DDS is proud to offer a comprehensive range of benefits and resources to support the whole you-physically, emotionally, and financially-to enable you to save money, have a healthy life, prepare for the future, and more. Most of these benefits are available on day one.
Health Insurance
Choose from three medical plans, including a high-deductible HSA option, to find the perfect fit for you and your family. All plans cover 100% of preventative care when using an in-network provider. Plus, enjoy added perks like mail-order prescriptions, virtual doctor visits, and One Pass Select. If you enroll in the Healthy Saver Plan, we’ll contribute $500–$1,000 annually to your HSA—helping you save for future healthcare needs.
401(k) Retirement Savings
Plan for your future with our 401(k) plan, administered by Fidelity. Start contributing and receiving a company match after just 90 days of service. With a variety of investment options, there’s something for every level of investor—whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned pro.
Life Insurance
Your peace of mind is important. That’s why we provide company-paid Life, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Business Travel Accident (BTA) Insurance for all benefit eligible employees. Know that your loved ones are protected in the event of an unforeseen accident or disability.
Dental Insurance
Keep your smile healthy with two flexible dental plans through Cigna—Premium and Standard—so you can choose the coverage that works best for you. Both plans offer 100% coverage for preventative services when using an in-network provider.
HSA & FSA Accounts
Enjoy triple tax savings when you enroll in the Healthy Saver Medical Plan and contribute to an HSA account, with a company contribution of $500–$1,000 per year. Not on the Healthy Saver Plan? No worries! You can still take advantage of a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for medical or dependent care expenses and enjoy valuable tax savings.
Disability Insurance
Life is unpredictable—but we’ve got your back. All eligible employees receive company-provided short-term disability coverage, helping to replace lost income if you’re unable to work due to an illness or injury. Need extended coverage? Long-term disability insurance is available as an optional benefit, paid for through payroll deduction.
Vision Insurance
See the world more clearly with EyeMed vision benefits, which include both in-network and online options. Visit a Plus Provider for a free eye exam and enhanced perks like extra allowances for frames, contacts, and a second pair of glasses or contacts.
Paid Time Off
We believe in a healthy work-life balance—whether you need time for a vacation, personal day, or unexpected illness. Our Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Sick Time programs ensure you have the flexibility and coverage you need.
Additional Benefits
We offer a variety of voluntary benefits to provide even more protection for you and your family. Options include:
Accident Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance, and Hospital Indemnity Insurance (Aflac)
Identity Theft Protection (Allstate)
Legal Assistance Plan (MetLife)
