Recently, SSOE's Board of Directors hosted a Happy Hour networking event at our office in Austin, Texas. It was an incredible opportunity for our local staff to rub shoulders with corporate leadership and forge personal connections. This special occasion marks the first of many this year, as our board has committed to rotating their quarterly meetings to different offices, ensuring consistent access to leadership. #SSOEaustin #chooseSSOE
A day in the life at SSOE: Last week, five local students shadowed our South Carolina design team, gaining hands-on insight into the world of engineering and design. Using Saluda Elementary School as their blueprint, the students explored the full journey of the AEC industry, from project planning to completion, all in just one day. The students reviewed digital drawings and 3D renderings while donning hard hats for a site visit, gaining real-world experience alongside our experts—even enjoying lunch at the construction crew’s favorite spot. It's our vision to design and build the future for our clients, colleagues, and communities. From mentorship to practical experiences, we're proud to cultivate the STEM leaders of tomorrow. #SSOEsoutheast

Topping out in Kentucky! Earlier this month, SSOE’s Matt Bierschbach and Adrienne Taylor signed the final beam at Ascend Elements EV battery cathode precursor (pCAM) manufacturing facility—alongside our partners at Turner Construction Company and Kokosing.
