Drive through any community we serve in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia, and you’ll pass buildings where important work happens every day. Hospitals caring for patients, universities preparing the next generation, stadiums and entertainment venues bringing thousands of people together, manufacturing facilities producing essential goods, and office buildings and retail centers supporting local jobs and economic growth.

Behind many of these familiar places is a Lee Company team assisting to keep their facility running smoothly. 

Explore where we’ve worked to see some of the facilities and projects our teams have helped bring to life.

For our facility professionals, there is something special about passing a major hospital, university campus, industrial plant, or downtown landmark and knowing you helped support the work happening inside. These are the places communities recognize, depend on, and gather in. Our team plays an important role in sustaining them.

As Haley Y., a Field Operations Engineer in Large Construction, puts it,

It’s fun seeing how we can build cities like Nashville, and other communities in the Southeast.”

A Smarter Approach to Facility Care

Managing a major facility takes more than responding when equipment breaks. It requires understanding how an entire building works together and developing solutions that support its performance for years to come.

That is where our B2B (Business-to-Business) team excels through Facility Management and Facility Maintenance.

Our professionals help customers improve reliability, extend the life of their equipment, increase efficiency, and prepare for future needs. Through preventive maintenance, predictive technology, Smart Buildings solutions, and responsive Facility Services, our teams help customers stay ahead of potential issues and make informed decisions about their facilities.

This comprehensive approach has made our Lee Company team a trusted partner for organizations that cannot afford unnecessary interruptions.

In healthcare facilities, reliable HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and building automation systems help support safe, comfortable environments for patients and medical teams. On college and university campuses, our work helps classrooms, laboratories, residence halls, athletic facilities, and gathering spaces operate smoothly throughout the year.

Its meaningful work performed on a large scale.

Bigger Systems. Greater Possibilities.

Facilities careers give experienced professionals the opportunity to work with some of the largest and most advanced systems in their industry.

One day may involve a high-capacity chiller serving an entire campus. Another could include sophisticated electrical infrastructure, industrial piping, advanced controls, or a custom-fabricated system designed for a unique customer’s needs. Our construction teams help create and improve these complex environments from the ground up.

We do it all,” Plumbing Foreman Dale W. says. “Be prepared to get your hands dirty in every aspect of piping.

Dylan W. from the Fabrication Shop sees that range of capabilities firsthand.

The thing that would surprise most people is the range of stuff that we fabricate, from sheet metal to steel pipe. Copper to structural stuff. Most people are surprised about the ability of everything that we can do in here.

That variety gives technicians, engineers, and facility leaders the chance to keep expanding their skills. Every property presents a new opportunity to think creatively, collaborate with experienced professionals, and develop solutions that make a measurable difference.

Commercial technicians also build trusted relationships with facility managers, property owners, engineers, and maintenance teams. Together, they evaluate system performance, plan improvements, increase efficiency, and protect the long-term operation of the building.

This is not simply service work. It is a partnership built on technical knowledge, strong communication, and the confidence to lead customers toward the right solution.

Keeping Our Communities Moving

From hospitals and universities to manufacturing plants, entertainment venues, and corporate campuses, reliable facilities help communities thrive.

When these buildings operate at their best, businesses remain productive; students continue learning, patients receive care, and thousands of people can safely gather, work, and connect.

That responsibility reflects what we call The Lee Way: doing the job correctly, caring for customers, and supporting fellow team members.

As Senior Project Manager Scott F. explains,

It was craftsmanship, it was taking care of the customers and actually taking care of fellow employees. That’s what The LeeWay means to me.

That commitment begins with the values that have guided our company for generations. 

For experienced commercial technicians, building engineers, and facility leaders, this is an opportunity to work on recognizable facilities, master advanced systems, and learn alongside some of the industry’s most capable professionals.
