Who is S&ME?
S&ME was formed in 1973 when founders Glenn Futrell and Bob Owens began providing geotechnical and construction materials engineering services to clients. A decade later, in 1983, S&ME grew to a company of 500 employees in 15 offices across six southeastern states. This set the stage for even more. As the company expanded, S&ME added several environmental services that in turn, increased their staff of experts. Today, S&ME is a thriving company of dedicated individuals with vast technical expertise throughout 30+ offices in 10 states. Looking back on S&ME’s successes over the past 50 years, S&ME is most proud of its commitment to clients and service abilities which include: Civil Engineering, Construction Services, Environmental, Geotechnical, Land Development, and Surveying. S&ME’s breadth of service capabilities reinforces our diversity as a company and their success is largely in part from their people, their technical excellence, and their companywide purpose of helping our communities prosper.
