Founded by Steve Malcom in 1978, Knickerbocker Group has always been driven by the core values of a strong work ethic, exceptional skills and ingenuity, consistent quality, personal integrity, and complete dedication to employees and clients alike.
Knickerbocker Group offers architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, construction, real estate, and property care services. Our team of employee-owners deeply value Maine—its environment, people, culture, and communities—and seek to deliver exceptionally surprising beauty, thought, and attention in the work we do.
Job perks include generous paid time off, 401k contributions (no match required), workplace flexibility, excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance with employee premiums paid by the company, and much more.
We are built on community (literally—our leadership team first met at a non-profit committee meeting!). We have made it our mission to give back.
We like to do good work and work with good people. Knickerbocker Group has repeatedly been recognized as a Best Place to Work in Maine.
With ownership comes empowerment, and our team members think and act like owners. They listen, share, detail, create, and innovate—together—and carry a strong sense of pride and purpose.
There is a reason (lots actually) why it is deemed the way life should be. Maine’s breathtaking beauty, rich history of craftsmanship, the art and the artists that make it, and its open-armed communities influence all that we do.
