LMI

LMI is a place where you’ll be welcomed, respected and valued.

Ask anyone who works at LMI what the corporate culture is like and you will invariably hear the same things: collegial, teamwork-oriented, supportive and stimulating; a place you want to stay.

As a not-for-profit business, LMI takes pride in always working in the clients' best interest. We strive to work only on programs of demonstrable value to the public sector, with the result that our work is both challenging and rewarding. LMI employees build strong bonds by working together in pursuit of a shared, and worthy, goal—improving the management of government.

LMI nurtures our employees, both personally and professionally. We provide a broad array of technical, management, individual skills workshops, seminars, conferences, and classes to help our employees reach their full potential. We also offer employees 5.5 service hours each year to volunteer at an organization of their choice and give back to the community. 

Not only does LMI offer competitive compensation, great benefits and flexibility in schedules, but the opportunity to make a difference by doing work you love to do. We make it possible to learn from the recognized experts in their field—by working side by side with them—and to go home at the end of every day knowing your contributions have added value that goes beyond the profit motives of a typical consultancy.

You have a consultancy unlike any other.

Our benefits stand up to the test.

LMI offers a comprehensive and industry-competitive benefits package to eligible employees who work 20 or more hours per week.

Health Insurance

We offer our employees comprehensive medical insurance coverage through nationally recognized carriers. Coverage is effective as of the date of hire, and LMI pays a significant portion of the premiums for single or family coverage. We also offer dental and vision benefits.

We also offer a medical buyout that pays a substantial monthly stipend to employees who have medical coverage through a spouse’s employer or other eligible coverage. 

Flexible Spending Accounts

LMI’s Flexible Spending Account program allows participants to use pre-tax dollars to pay for many medical expenses not covered under health insurance plans, as well as dependent care expenses, according to IRS guidelines.

Retirement

LMI's retirement program is among the best in the industry. Starting from their date of hire, employees can contribute a portion of their salary on a tax-deferred basis to a 403(b) or 401(k) plan (as applicable). LMI offers a generous contribution and/or match to eligible employees within their applicable plan. 

Annual Leave and Holidays

Full-time eligible employees accrue annual leave at generous rates starting on the first day of hire, with increases available thereafter, depending on the number of years of service. In addition, LMI employees observe the 10 holidays recognized by the federal government. Part-time eligible employees accrue annual and holiday leave on a prorated basis. 

Sick Leave

LMI has a sick leave policy that covers short-term illnesses of eligible employees who become medically incapacitated and are unable to perform their work duties. In addition, we provide employer-paid short-term disability insurance, and group term life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

Tuition Assistance and Professional Development

LMI emphasizes continuing education. Eligible employees can receive tuition assistance for accredited courses that contribute to LMI’s work objectives. In fact, LMI has seen many of our employees go on to receive master’s degrees and PhDs with the help of our tuition assistance program. In addition, LMI will pay for preparation courses for professional examinations, as well as examination fees for certifications in areas such as professional engineering, project management, Lean Six Sigma, information technology, human resources, and others.

LMI also offers an array of on-site and online customized courses to all employees to enhance knowledge and build skills that help us to serve clients better and facilitate professional growth. Some are taught by LMI staff members and some by outside instructors. An additional benefit that LMI provides to its employees is an online library of business courses, which they may access at their convenience.

Moreover, the Project Management Institute™ (PMI™) certified LMI as a Registered Education Provider. LMI supports the attainment and maintenance of PMI™ PMP certifications, by paying for preparation coursework and testing.  For employees with PMI™ PMP certification, that means LMI project management training classes count toward the professional development unit (PDU) credits required to maintain annual PMI™ certification.

LMI also supports employee participation in professional conferences and workshops. Employees are encouraged to present papers, contribute as panelists, and help organize professional meetings in their respective functional areas.

Apply your skills in a whole new context.

Since 1993, LMI has been a Department of Defense Training with Industry partner. This program gives military personnel and civilians in federal, state, and local governments the opportunity to gain valuable, practical experience working in a commercial industry. Once accepted into the program, candidates are designated Resident Research Fellows and are considered full-time members of our project teams for up to 12 months. By participating in this program, Resident Research Fellows

• increase their knowledge of logistics and acquisition,
• sharpen their analytical skills,
• experience federal government processes from a management-consulting organization’s perspective,
• and gain a working knowledge of the private sector.

As members of our project teams, Resident Research Fellows take part in the complete study process, from developing proposals to briefing clients on results and preparing final reports. We also provide them many of the same professional development opportunities offered to full-time employees. These include skills development workshops, computer training courses, professional seminars and conferences, and visiting speaker events. In addition, we offer special training classes and programs to meet their individual needs.

The program is open to all U.S. military personnel and civilian members of federal, state, and local governments. Government agencies may nominate promising military officers and civilian employees to participate in the program. LMI may enter into such an agreement with any government agency wishing to participate; the terms range from 6 months to 5 years. The parent agency usually continues to reimburse the participant for salaries and benefits, and LMI funds administrative costs and selected non-task-related travel and per diem expenses. Task-related travel and per diem costs are normally charged to specific tasks. Final participants in the program are selected from nominations made to the President of LMI.
