Celebrate BGE’s 50th Anniversary

For 50 years, BGE has been defined by passionate leadership, dedicated people, and a steadfast commitment to excellence and our communities. The BGE Way of servant leadership has shaped our past and will guide our future. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on Serving, Leading, and Solving—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. 

At BGE, we do the right thing because it’s right. It affords me the freedom and ability to always do the next ‘right thing.’ And that’s not as common as it should be in our industry.

7 Years – Land/Site Development- Charlotte

The people at BGE are not just experts in their fields—they are wise, kind, and generous with their time.

10 Years – Employee Development- Houston

BGE offers great opportunities for  career growth which supports your personal life as well- it’s all interconnected.

19 Years – Land Development- Houston

There aren’t many companies where the CEO is overseas, in the mud with you, drilling water wells. Seeing the joy on people’s faces when they have clean water is life-changing.

19 Years – Transportation – Frisco

I’m working with people who typically live in their community. We know that we’re making sure they have water and sewer services in good condition and that they won’t fail and put them in an emergency.

16 Years – Land Development- Houston

We’re respected in the industry; we’re trusted. We win big contracts because of the quality of work we do, and when BGE walks into the room, they know who we are, and that’s pretty cool.

11 Years – Transportation – Frisco

I love BGE like I love my family because my family started here.

28 Years – Land Development – Houston

I found a place where I could spend my whole career and a family culture that provided me opportunities to grow for both myself and my family.

29 Years – Transportation- Dallas

BGE’s expertise and integrity have been consistently recognized through our wins at the ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards since 2004. These accolades reflect our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions that make a lasting impact for our clients and communities.
