Here is what some SES Family members have to say about CHOOSING Southern Earth Sciences AS A CAREER HOME.

Southern Earth Sciences has been much more than my employer for the past 30 years because this company is loaded with outstanding quality people and a management team that really cares about their employees.  This professional family atmosphere  promotes security and loyalty from all of us who work at SES.  My family and I are truly blessed to be a small  part of this organization.

SES has provided me the flexibility I need to maintain a good work/life balance.  I am able to schedule time with out of town family and friends as well as flexibility in my work schedule when my husband was in the hospital for 3 weeks.  I like the family atmosphere in our branch office.  Corporate made a lot of effort to support us after the hurricane and getting us things that we needed. I have enjoyed being part of the Southern Earth TEAM.  Helping other offices gives me satisfaction that I am working as a partner.  Also knowing that I have additional resources to keep my projects on schedule is good at maintaining client relations.

Brandon comes across Southern Earth Sciences, a geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental consulting firm with offices across the South. While it’s not a massive, flashy firm, Southern Earth Sciences provides the opportunity for a set career path and longevity.

The average current company employment length is 10 years, and over 25% of employees have 15+ years of service. Several of their engineers were hired straight out of college and now have 20+ years of service. Three of their executive-level leaders were all hired straight out of college.

SES offers young professionals experience with the ability to train closely with experienced professionals. They provide reliability with a long-standing well-established firm, and flexibility to move about the various offices to gain new experience and grow along with the company. They also encourage and reward obtaining and maintaining professional certifications and licenses.

For Brandon, they checked all of the boxes:

They’re big enough to be stable but not so big that he would be a small fish.

They would allow him to train directly with experienced pros.

They would not only allow him to grow, but they would also encourage it.

Brandon applied with Southern Earth Sciences, and after chatting with the team there and learning how they’ve enjoyed the stability, growth, and flexibility SES provides, Brandon joined the SES team. Today, Brandon is celebrating his 13th year with the company, and he couldn’t be happier with his decision.

You can have a fulfilling professional life, financial stability, and a great work/life balance. Imagine celebrating 25, 30, 35, 50 years with SES and celebrating the growth you and the company have achieved along the way. That future beats being a small fish in a big pond, another cog in the wheel with a company that doesn’t know you and doesn’t care.

75% of professional engineers who train with SES and end up choosing a big, flashy engineering firm end up coming back to SES. Choose your future wisely.
