A positive impact
Our commitment to sustainable solutions and socially responsible operations began long before “green” was in vogue. This commitment begins inside our own office walls, then translates to the work we do with clients, and finally extends to communities around the world. We take measures to use resources responsibly and reduce waste. We go to great lengths as individuals and as a company to help developing countries gain access to clean water and sanitation.

Employee-owned firm continues pioneering legacy of technical excellence, innovation, and talent growth
Brown and Caldwell looks to the future of 75 years and counting
Brown and Caldwell looks to lead the water industry into the future as the firm concludes its yearlong 75th anniversary celebration.
Since its founding in 1947 by two California engineers, Ken Brown and Dave Caldwell, the leading environmental engineering and construction firm has spent 75 years and counting connecting with clients, communities, and ideas. From pioneering “submerged” floating digester covers to co-releasing the water industry’s first Digital Twin architecture standard, the company has been on the forefront of the future.
Equally, the firm has maintained a strong commitment to their people.
That commitment included a 5% base salary increase for all employees in June. In addition to the base salary increases, the firm continues to invest in its people through leadership and technical development programs, stock ownership options, continuing education, and enhanced technology.
“During our first 75 years BC had tremendous impact on our people, clients, and communities,” BC CEO Rich D’Amato said. “I am proud of where we have been, what we have done, and where we are going. Whether developing innovative approaches and technical solutions, managing critical projects and programs. or assisting our clients with forward looking strategies, BCers engage in meaningful ways to drive community success. I look forward to our future to continue to solve the complex issues facing our clients to provide clean water and a healthy environment in support of thriving communities.”
