American Engineering celebrates its 50th Anniversary

American Engineering is proud to celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2024
Thank you to all our clients and teammates who have played a part in our success.

50th Anniversary American EngineeringFor 50 years our team has been delivering solutions with a client focus. Our predecessor entities trace their roots as far back as 1974 in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. That operation, previously known as Engineering Services, Inc. (ESI), is currently located in Chesapeake and continues to thrive. We are proud that our Virginia team still includes many employees with several decades of service to our company – some with more than 40 years.

Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing a few of our most notable projects from the past 50 years. Some date back several decades and were iconic – making significant impacts on the growth and success of our communities and our clients. Other projects may have been more recent but might highlight particular successes or represent a major momentum builder.

American Engineering, which officially started under that name in 2012, has seen considerable growth over the past decades through acquisitions, and organic growth. Collaboration between our offices in Raleigh, Charlotte, and Chesapeake continues to drive synergies, growth and client successes.

Throughout the years, we have always kept our focus on our clients’ needs. Through collaboration with our external clients and internal teammates, we have built one of the fastest growing firms in the U.S. and ranked by ENR Magazine as one of the largest engineering firms in the Southeast.

While we honor our first 50 years, we know that we are just getting started!
