Engineering has been designated an “essential service” . Our job is to support the infrastructure that supports society, and we recognize our responsibility to be available. We, like everyone else, are doing our best to remain flexible and accessible. As we have offices throughout New England and different states have different rules in place, our procedures may differ by office. Please check our Contact Us page for office information. Regardless of location, we are here to support you in any way we can.
We have measures in place to ensure each employee’s ability to work remotely, and most are already doing so. We have a strong IT infrastructure that can accommodate video conferencing, large file sharing, and other alternative communication methods. We trust our employees to select the working arrangements that they are most comfortable with and best suit their needs (and that comply with current mandates), and trust that they will continue to support our clients and communities the way they always have before – to the highest extent possible.
We remain dedicated to serving our communities and our clients. To do this, we first need to understand your concerns. Reach out to us – by phone, by email, by video chat, or by text. It is during times of crises that we need each other the most, and we are here, whether it be to solve your problems or offer you a listening ear.
These are uncertain and fluid times. We want to extend a sincere thank you to our clients for their understanding as we navigate these challenges together. We would like to thank our employees, many of whom are caregivers, for their unwavering support, dedication, and professionalism.
We will get through this. Together.
