EHRA Engineering has been around for 85 years which means we have had great leadership and team members to stand the test of time. Our current team and leadership are the best we have had in 85 years. I think one main ingredient is whether we are working internally as a team, with a client, with governmental agencies or with the community; we treat everything as a partnership, not just a job.

Blake McGregor, P.E.- Principal | Senior Vice President | Practice Area Leader - Land Services | CCO
The very foundation of exceptional leadership is defined by one’s earnest commitment to being a good person and doing the right thing which, ultimately, clearly defines one’s character and virtue. Here at EHRA Engineering we embrace the mindset that we are a team, we are one.

Jim Russ – Senior Principal | President & CEO
Growing relationships is always our top priority at EHRA Engineering. Our relationships with our team members and clients are equally important.

Hasan Syed, P.E. - Senior Principal | Executive Vice President & COO
There is no formula for leadership, nor is it about techniques and methods. EHRA Engineering’s leadership is about inspiration, influencing others and it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others.

Andy Palermo, P.E., CFM - Principal | Senior Vice President | Practice Area Leader - H&H | CTO
EHRA Engineering embodies servant leadership which allows for the demonstration of leadership without needing to be in front, taking credit for what the entire team accomplishes. Together, we are one.

Jared R. Bowlin, P.E. - Principal | Senior Vice President | Practice Area Leader - Land Services | Treasurer
What distinguishes us in our mind from so many others is going over and beyond and taking care of clients and doing our absolute best to anticipate what they need before they even know they need it.

Aspiring to Be the Best

We refer to our core principles as aspirational because we understand that growth is a process and that we should always strive for the next level of excellence. Our principles guide our decisions, behavior and interactions in all that we do. Using these tenets as guideposts, we are able to provide the high level of service we ourselves would like to receive.

EHRA Engineering team has been an important part of success in a multitude of my projects throughout years. EHRA leadership and their team of engineers provide innovative and cost-effective solutions and work closely with our project team from the acquisition of land through the project development. Their response time for any issue is remarkable. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants great engineering on time and always with competitive pricing. I look forward to continue working together on future endeavors.
