We’re actively recruiting skilled craft workers, engineers, and project leadership to join us in shaping the future of this dynamic region.

Orlando, often referred to as “The City Beautiful,” is a vibrant hub known worldwide for its theme parks, but it offers so much more beyond its famous attractions. Home to over 2.5 million residents in the metropolitan area, Orlando boasts a diverse array of outdoor activities and cultural experiences. With its warm climate and lush landscapes, it’s the perfect place for year-round outdoor adventures, from kayaking on the many lakes and rivers to exploring the natural beauty of the nearby Wekiwa Springs State Park.

Orlando is internationally renowned for its world-class theme parks, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld, which attract millions of visitors each year. But residents know that the city’s appeal extends beyond the tourist hotspots. Downtown Orlando features a thriving arts scene, with venues like the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts offering a wide range of concerts, Broadway shows, and cultural events. The Orlando Museum of Art and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art provide spaces for inspiration and creativity, while the city’s numerous festivals and community events foster a sense of belonging and pride.

Another highlight of Orlando is its close proximity to both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, offering easy access to some of Florida’s best beaches for weekend getaways or day trips. Additionally, Orlando has been gaining recognition for its vibrant and diverse food scene. From food trucks to fine dining, the city offers culinary experiences that reflect its melting pot of cultures, making it a destination for food lovers.

For sports enthusiasts, Orlando is home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic and MLS’s Orlando City SC, as well as the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. The city’s residents enjoy a robust calendar of sporting events, whether it’s catching a game at the Kia Center or participating in the many recreational leagues available throughout the area.

Orlando’s family-friendly environment is bolstered by its top-tier educational institutions and large, diverse school districts. The city offers a range of attractions that appeal to all ages, from the Orlando Science Center to Gatorland, making it a wonderful place to raise a family. And with no state income tax, relatively affordable housing, and a cost of living that’s lower than many other major U.S. cities, Orlando presents a compelling case for relocation.

In addition to its attractions and livability, Orlando is a city on the rise with a rapidly growing economy and job market. It’s an inclusive, diverse community where innovation and entrepreneurship thrive, making it an ideal place to launch or advance your career.

Lane’s Florida teams are playing a pivotal role in the region’s continued development, with projects that not only improve infrastructure but also enhance the quality of life for Orlando residents.
