Founding Vision
Founded in 1994 by Bill Clifford and Jack Esmond, E&C Engineers was built on a vision to do things differently, creating a firm that not only delivers innovative MEP design solutions, but also invests in the people behind the work. Central to this vision is our “working Principal” philosophy, where firm leaders remain actively involved in day-to-day design and serve as direct points of contact for clients. This hands-on approach ensures that clients benefit from seasoned expertise, strong communication, and leadership continuity throughout every project. Rooted in a commitment to quality, collaboration, and meaningful relationships, these founding values continue to shape our culture and guide our work today.
Over 130 Years Combined
Proven Leadership
Our firm is currently steered by working Principals Heather Camden and Lance McKnight, alongside Associate Principals Larkin Gentry, Geoffrey Lussier, and Anamika Ghosh. Collectively, our Principals and Associate Principals bring over 130 years of combined engineering experience. This leadership stability ensures deep, hands-on knowledge guides every project we undertake.
Certified for Excellence
E&C holds certifications as a Veteran Heroes United In Business (VetHUB) with the State of Texas and a Small Business Enterprise with TxDOT. We pride ourselves on having 30+% of our technical team as registered professional engineers, ensuring we consistently provide “Big Company Results with Small Company Care.”
