Why EA Engineering?

EA is a 100%-employee owned, public benefit corporation (PBC)—the largest such consultancy in the Architectural/Engineering (A/E) space. PBCs follow a social enterprise model that strives to balance the interests of stakeholders (e.g., shareholders, employee-owners, clients, communities, the general public, etc.) with the company’s pecuniary interests. EA’s culture of relentless client service ties directly into our PBC Framework as we strive to promote public benefits such as reduction of human and ecological risks associated with environmental degradation and natural resources impairment, and improvements to air, water, soil, and sediment quality through our day-to-day client project work.
