Who We Are

Mission

Building client success and healthy community through civil engineering excellence

Our Story (aka Vision)

We believe God creates all things for useful purpose. All beings have value and find joy and meaning in their unique purposes. God has continually provided for us, and work is our grateful and worshipful response. We worship God in our work as engineers by using our unique talents in service to others. We love to add value, solve problems, create alignment, and make things work.

As we seek to know God and His purposes in our work, He energizes our company culture around a vision for Healthy Community. Healthy Community refers to all our business relationships and has physical expression in the excellent infrastructure and great places we design. A Healthy Community is resilient, effective, sustainable, harmonious, continuously improving, purposeful, and highly profitable.

Most of all, Healthy Community extends to creating delight and success for our clients, who are our reason for existing as an enterprise.

Our commitment to building Healthy Community where we live and work serves our clients’ interests by creating environments where their projects flourish.

In our era of globalization and technology, we gratefully embrace the opportunity to rethink through design how humans will thrive in community and in harmony with the planet. Ward Edwards Engineering aspires to be the indispensable partner in building Healthy Community everywhere we live and work.
