Close your eyes and imagine a sunny afternoon, the view of palm trees and a calm blue waters… Now open your eyes! Welcome to the perks of your new office location!
Our office is located in Satellite Beach, Florida. This gem of a city is located just one hour east of Orlando International Airport, and only 15 minutes from Melbourne International Airport. The area is close enough to visit the theme parks and attractions, but far enough away to escape the traffic and inland humidity. Temperatures average 90 °F in the summer months and 73 °F in the winter months!
Satellite Beach is in the Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is among a collection of towns situated along Florida’s “Space Coast” (the most famous being nearby Cocoa Beach) where you can view Cape Canaveral in the distance and watch rockets launch into the sky. Situated in Brevard Country between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, the housing prices are very reasonable, and the close-knit community and pace of life offer great work-life balance that is especially rare in the transportation industry. The coastal area is filled with engineers, university students, soldiers at Patrick Air Force Base, and a number of companies focused on engineering, aerospace, healthcare and tourism industries. It has great restaurants, cultural activities, live music and lots of water activities to enjoy.
