Leadership
Ehlert Bryan’s identity is in the people who work here. Each individual on our 40+ person team contributes to the firm’s success in a unique and meaningful way. With diverse backgrounds, expertise, and a team-first culture, Ehlert Bryan is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Our people are the reason that clients continue to come back. After all, we are a service firm who happens to do engineering.
Our firm’s success is found through steady growth. Our staff is continually trained, mentored, and challenged to bring out the best in every person and to grow all of us as a team. It’s no surprise that many employees choose to stay long term at Ehlert Bryan and take pride in contributing to its success.
Our Core Values
Our Core Values guide how we operate – individually and collectively – on a daily basis and from project to project. They represent our professional behavior, decision-making, and culture.
✔ Responsiveness– As a service-oriented firm, we prioritize delivering prompt, professional, and thoughtful responses. Whether communicating with clients, project collaborators, or colleagues, we ensure our interactions are timely and constructive.
✔ Teamwork – We believe our strength lies in collaboration. We work together, making time for one another to explore ideas, overcome challenges, and find better solutions. We approach every project as a team and consistently prioritize the firm’s best interests over individual agendas.
✔ Document Quality– Our work is only as strong as its documentation. We are committed to producing deliverables that are accurate, clear, complete, and consistent – ensuring our documentation is as professional as our designs.
✔ Creativity– We tackle technical challenges with curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness. Rather than defaulting to the expected or “textbook” solutions, we explore better alternatives by asking thoughtful questions like “why?” and “why not?”- seeking continuous improvement in everything we do.
✔ Integrity – We operate with honesty, uphold our commitments, and treat clients, team members, and projects with respect and accountability – without exception.
