Are you an accounting professional who enjoys the details, but also wants to understand how the numbers connect to the bigger picture? 📊

We’re growing our team at Rippe Associates and looking for an Accounting Associate / Senior Accountant to join us.

This is a broad, hands-on accounting role within a collaborative professional services firm. You’ll work across project accounting and client billing, day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, forecasting, payroll and benefits administration, and process improvement, while partnering closely with project managers and company leadership.

One thing that makes this opportunity especially unique: our longtime Accounting Manager is retiring after more than 25 years with Rippe, creating a valuable period of knowledge transfer for the person stepping into the role. You’ll have the chance to learn the business, build confidence in the position, and eventually make it your own.

If you’re organized, curious, detail-oriented, enjoy working with people, and want a role where you can take ownership and make an impact, this could be a great next step. 💡

Do you know foodservice? Know equipment? Ready to use that experience in a whole new way? 👀

We’re growing our team at Rippe Associates and looking for a Foodservice Equipment Specialist to join us!

This could be a great next step for someone who has worked in foodservice operations, with commercial kitchen equipment, or on the manufacturing side of the industry and wants to take that knowledge in a new direction.

As an Equipment Specialist at Rippe, you’ll become a go-to resource for the equipment that helps make a kitchen work. You’ll research and select equipment, develop specifications and cost estimates, stay on top of new technologies and industry innovations, and collaborate with project teams to find the right solutions for each client.

💡 If you’re curious, detail-oriented, love learning how things work, and enjoy solving problems, this might be the career move you didn’t know you were looking for.

And at Rippe, we’re not just designing Kitchens That Work™. We’re building Careers for a Lifetime.

🚗✨ Sometimes leads right back to our own backyard! Sr. Project Manager Amy Fick recently completed the final punchlist at the new Allina Health Richard M. Schulze Surgical and Critical Care Center at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. Being local gave Amy a unique opportunity to visit regularly and watch this project take shape piece by piece over nearly three years, from design through construction.

Designed to support an approximately 800-bed hospital, the foodservice operation includes patient feeding along with a main retail servery and dining area, café, micromarket/pick-up, physician dining, and dedicated production for app orders. Flexibility was built into the design with hot and cold flex stations that can duplicate concepts on busy days, while some pretty impressive behind-the-scenes logistics, including a tunnel connecting the Care Pavilion to the dock across the street, help keep product moving efficiently. 🏥🍽️

For Amy, watching it all come together while building lasting relationships with the project team made this one especially rewarding. We’re proud to have played a part in creating something that will serve our Minneapolis community for years to come.

A big thank you to HGA , Mortenson, and Great Lakes Hotel Supply Company for the collaboration and teamwork that brought another project to life! 🙌

🚗 is rolling through Indianola, Iowa! Sr. Project Manager Ryan Braudt was onsite at Indianola High School earlier this month for a punchlist walk-through of the school’s newly renovated kitchen and servery. 🍎🏫

Designed to give students an elevated dining experience while supporting foodservice across the district, this space is built to perform! The kitchen features a large warehouse freezer with in-floor heat due to its size, a dedicated walk-in cooler and freezer, expansive cold prep space, and a full hot production line.

Out front, the servery brings a college-dining feel to the high school with solid surface serving counters, mobile salad bars, and a dedicated A La Carte space. And there’s more to come, with a new concessions area planned for Phase 2!

A big thank you to INVISION Architecture, Great Lakes Hotel Supply Company, Morrissey Engineering, KPFF Consulting Engineers, Larson Engineering, JBC Landscape Architects, and Edge Commercial Interiors for the collaboration from start to finish. 🙌 It takes a talented team to bring spaces like this to life!
