About Les Olson IT

Les Olson IT is one of the fastest-growing and most capable technology service providers in the West. We do I.T. the LOC Way—through talent, passion, and compassion—driving continual growth and a strong market position by delivering superior service.

Unlike most technology companies, Les Olson IT has been in business for over 70 years.

From those beginnings, we have grown to more than 320 employees across nine locations in two states.

Les Olson Company strives every day to elevate people, whether it's our clients, our team members, or members of the local community.

We seek to elevate our clients by delivering cutting-edge IT strategy, security, solutions, and support. Each of our team members recognizes that they have a direct impact on the success of the local businesses we serve every day.
We seek to elevate every team member's career, firmly believing that customer success cannot happen without employee success. We do this by working with each employee to design a fulfilling career path that grows and evolves as they do.
We seek to elevate our local community members by rewarding our employees for volunteering at local charities and participating in our ongoing food drives.

Our work environment promotes both growth and balance. We encourage and support our employees in building meaningful, fulfilling paths, both professionally and personally. Les Olson Company offers competitive salaries, continuing education, generous benefits, and a fun, collaborative work environment. At the end of the day, it is the people that matter most to us!
