Work With Us
Join. Lead. Impact.
At DE, we firmly believe in nurturing our employees to elevate leaders within their respective domains, industry spheres, and broader communities. As part of our mission, “elevating leaders” is demonstrated through investment in professional and personal development, which empowers individuals to excel in their fields and ensures they retain a competitive edge as their careers progress.
Many of our employees have been with us for over ten years, a testament to the teamwork, camaraderie, and sense of achievement that employees have come to value, and which we strive to provide and preserve.
"At DE, we innovate, transform, and elevate leaders for a brighter future. Together, we are bettering communities."
Andrew K. Woodroof, P.E., Principal
Work Atmosphere
Recognition & Rewards
We are committed to recognizing and rewarding the contributions of our team. We offer competitive compensation packages that include performance-based bonuses, 401(k) company matching, and tuition reimbursement. Employees are supported through regular one-on-one meetings and goal-setting reviews that promote professional growth and ensure alignment with career development goals. We also invest in continued learning by covering the cost of professional association memberships, offering on-the-job training, and providing access to internal workshops, seminars, and webinars. Additionally, we encourage participation in external industry events to help our team stay informed, connected, and inspired.
Health & Wellness
We believe your health and well-being should come first. That’s why every new team member receives immediate access to a comprehensive benefits package with generous coverage and minimal out-of-pocket costs. We proudly cover 100% of employee premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance—so you’re protected from day one, without waiting periods. This means you can focus on your work, your growth, and your future—not on healthcare costs.
People & Team Building
We understand that strong teams are built through both meaningful work and shared experiences. We offer our employees the opportunity to take on challenging and engaging projects that promote professional growth and skill development. To further support continuous learning, we provide internal training workshops, seminars, and webinars, and encourage participation in external industry events. Beyond the work, our Social Committee organizes a variety of company-sponsored events throughout the year—such as crawfish boils, family day, and holiday luncheons—to foster connection, collaboration, and a sense of community across all teams.
Flexibility & Work-Life Balance
We recognize that every employee works differently, which is why we offer the flexibility needed to support a healthy work-life balance. Our competitive time-off packages, flexible schedules, and hybrid workspace options empower employees to work in a way that suits them best. With office locations in Kenner, Baton Rouge, Mandeville, and Waveland, Mississippi, team members can choose the environment that works for them. Our business casual dress code and relaxed, collaborative atmosphere further enhance our supportive culture. Open communication is a core value—reinforced through weekly staff meetings, annual town halls, and an open-door policy that keeps everyone connected and informed.
