CAREERS
JOIN OUR ‘OHANA AND THRIVE
ʻOhana means family in Hawaiian, and caring for each other and our clients like family is at the core of DAWSON’s culture. DAWSON is a Native Hawaiian company powered by the DAWSON ʻOhana — a family of employees achieving success together. At DAWSON we celebrate innovation and agility, transforming the profile of a typical federal contractor.
We’re committed to Kūpono Ka Hana (Excellence in Service) and living our traditional Native Hawaiian values of KOA: Kuleana (responsibility), ʻOhana, and Aloha (embodying humility, respect, and compassion for all). We believe this is the blueprint for our success.
DAWSON is looking for driven, passionate people to join our ʻOhana.
SHARING ALOHA
As a Native Hawaiian company, ʻohana is our foundation and aloha is our approach to life. Every day, we share the spirit of aloha by living our collective commitments: to take care of each other, to serve our clients with excellence, to invest in helping others, and to nurture the environment that sustains us.
DAWSON ‘OHANA:
THE TAPESTRY OF DAWSON
To be part of the DAWSON ‘Ohana is to be part of a global family of people thriving together. Our team members bring diverse backgrounds and weave them together with our Native Hawaiian roots to form the unique fabric of our company — what we call The Tapestry of DAWSON. Diversity and inclusion aren’t just corporate buzzwords, they’re two of our core strengths.
DAWSON IMPACT:
Serving Our Communities
Since day one, serving our communities has been an organic part of DAWSON’s culture. Through the DAWSON Impact program, our employees engage in volunteer projects that principally benefit our Native Hawaiian community and also extend to other local communities where we live and work.
Our founder and CEO, Chris Dawson, built DAWSON on traditional Native Hawaiian values, and our impact projects allow us to live those values in our communities. Learn more about our founder at chrisdawsonhawaii.com.
