Battery Assembly Plant Expansion
for Viridi Parente in New York
- We’ve made our mark as experts supporting the transition to electric vehicles and across the battery manufacturing supply chain and are actively engaged in 18 EV / battery manufacturing projects across 16 facilities in the U.S. and Mexico.
- We were awarded a multi-year master services agreement to provide engineering services to Corteva Agriscience—which includes engineering services for Corteva’s U.S. Crop Protection projects for the next three years and beyond—and received high praise from Dow for services provided on the lab / office multi-year program at their corporate facilities in Midland, Michigan.
- We’ve added to our documented client savings, achieving more than $1.6 billion since we started tracking in 2009.
- SSOE was ranked in five Top 10 categories by industry-leading publication Engineering News-Record, including a #2 ranking in Semiconductor Design for the second consecutive year. We were also recognized as one of the fastest-growing architectural, engineering, planning, and environmental consulting firms in the U.S.
Our colleagues are more beloved than “bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens”
As a company, we’ve been laser-focused on making SSOE a more flexible and inclusive place to work. It’s a gift we’re giving ourselves that we know will have a positive impact on the stellar work we do for you.
- We furthered our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, updated our company mission statement, implemented a new organizational structure that positions us for growth, and made history by appointing our first woman president and chair of the board.
- With the acquisition of 100-year-old Southeast U.S. design firm Stevens & Wilkinson, we added nearly 100 wonderful colleagues to the SSOE family.
- We introduced a new hybrid work model with both in-office and remote options—along with expanded parental leave policies—as a way to provide permanent flexibility to our employees who continue to deliver unparalleled client value.

We love to give more than
“brown paper packages tied up with strings” to our communities
During the holidays, our thoughts turn to giving back to the communities where we live and work. We continue to donate our time, talents, and financial support to a variety of nonprofit organizations that are important to our clients and colleagues across the U.S. and around the world.
In 2021, we gave to …
And every year, our employee population is challenged to donate 20+ volunteerism hours per person, which SSOE matches with a donation as a way of supporting
the future of our communities.
Warm wishes for a happy and healthy holiday as you remember
