CAREERS
As a family-owned and operated company, we value each of our employees and treat them like family.
Many of our employees have been with us for 20+ years and have helped shape our company into what it is today.
We pride ourselves on employing a team of highly skilled professionals that seamlessly works together to tackle any project.
We celebrated another incredible year at Larken Associates! Our annual company holiday party was a night filled with delicious food, holiday spirits, live music, and endless laughter as we celebrated our amazing associates.
Each year, we celebrate Thanksgiving together with a potluck lunch at our corporate office in Branchburg, NJ and our Bethlehem and York, PA locations. Our team brings in appetizers, entrees, and desserts to share with one another. It's a great chance to get to know each other better —and try some new recipes.
Our corporate office team brought the spooky spirit of the season to our annual Halloween costume contest. Congratulations to our winners!

Two of our favorite office mascots, Huck and Sophie, have been promoted to Big Brother and Big Sister! Congratulations to Christine, our Commercial Leasing Assistant, and Jodi, our Human Resources Generalist, who are both expecting new bundles of joy. Our team came together to celebrate the excitement of their growing families and new chapters of life.
