SSOE has participated as a host organization in the Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program for the past several years, which helps transitioning service members gain the skills needed to successfully re-enter the civilian workforce and one of many ways SSOE is actively involved with supporting veterans. Holly Crisp, who works in our Nashville office, has been a coach and mentor to these veterans through the years. Because of her involvement in the program and our partnership with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Holly was nominated to participate in the “Soldier for a Day” event at Fort Campbell last month. At SSOE, we love hiring veterans. We recognize the valuable skillsets military personnel possess and how directly relatable those skills are to our civilian positions—and actively employ more than 60 veterans at our various locations. #SSOEsoutheast #chooseSSOE

United Way of Greater Toledo’s Campaign Celebration is an annual event where the network of local nonprofit fundraising affiliates expresses their gratitude to their community partners. We’re excited to share that SSOE was honored with the following five awards at this week’s virtual event: Best in Show, Campaign Manager Hall of Fame, CEO Hall of Fame, Pillar Award, and Top Year-Round Engagement. At SSOE, we believe that volunteerism and giving back is paramount to a community’s success—it’s even part of our corporate vision. We have set a specific goal for each of our employees to contribute 20 hours of community service annually, the equivalent of one full-time community worker for every 100 employees. Our support for the United Way goes back decades, dating back to our founder Al Samborn’s involvement with the organization in the early eighties, making this an extra-special feather in our cap. #SSOEcares #LiveUnited *Photo was taken prior to the coronavirus pandemic
Thriving in the new normal: SSOE’s Matt Oberts, Senior Vice President with over two decades of automotive and manufacturing facility design experience, was featured in this month’s Engineering News-Record cover story. The article explores how some of ENR’s Top 500 Design Firms spent 2020 adapting to the pandemic and how they’ll evolve to take on what’s next. Moving up a spot in manufacturing design with the #4 ranking, SSOE had one of the most successful years in its history and increased staff by more than 25%. The shift to electric vehicles, in particular, has generated several opportunities and opened the door for us to support the entire supply chain—including the exploding need for lithium-ion batteries and semiconductors.

It’s Architecture Week, and we’re celebrating the impact architects make on our communities!
