The recognition, based on a comprehensive survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, highlights companies that demonstrate excellence in employee engagement, communication, benefits, and leadership. For Lee Mechanical, this marks a continued acknowledgment of the company’s dedication to building not just great projects but great people.

Founded in Kenosha in 1976, Lee Mechanical has grown into a leading mechanical contractor serving clients across Wisconsin and beyond. The company has achieved remarkable expansion, growing from $32 million just six years ago to a projected $161 million in annual revenue and expanding its team to over 420 employees.

“Our growth is the direct result of our people,” said Brandon Quinn, CEO of Lee Mechanical. “We’ve built a culture rooted in integrity, craftsmanship, and collaboration. When our employees succeed, our customers succeed, and our communities thrive.”

With its headquarters in Franklin, Lee Mechanical provides a full range of services including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire protection, and fabrication. The company’s recent move to bring sheet metal fabrication fully in-house has been a standout success, allowing for improved quality control, faster turnaround times, and greater project flexibility. It’s a major step that demonstrates Lee’s ongoing commitment to innovation and efficiency.

When asked to describe the company culture in one word, employees chose “Reliable.” That sense of dependability runs deep, from the leadership team to every job site and fabrication bay.

Lee Mechanical takes pride in offering competitive pay, full benefits, hybrid flexibility, and opportunities for advancement. Employees value the company’s genuine commitment to work-life balance, open communication, and professional development.

Flexibility stands out as one of the most popular perks, especially the option for hybrid roles, which remains rare in the construction and trades industry. This approach allows team members to manage both personal and professional responsibilities while staying engaged and productive.

“We don’t just talk about valuing people, we show it,” shared one team member. “Here, you’re not just a number. You’re part of something bigger.”

If Lee Mechanical had a walk-up song, it would be “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen — a fitting anthem for a company that keeps pushing forward with energy, teamwork, and unstoppable drive.

As Lee Mechanical celebrates another year among Milwaukee’s Best Places to Work, the message is clear: success is built on more than tools and technology; it’s built on people.
