Bridging Divides

As much as any public facilities or systems, we think infrastructure is about helping people access a better future. At CobbFendley, that starts with who we hire, how we serve our communities, and how we protect our environment.

Diversity and Inclusion

Over the years, our firm has not only grown to encompass an expanding array of capabilities, but a diverse and thriving team whose talents make it all possible. Our team’s talent shows up in every project we deliver from our leadership team to our principals, to every level of our field and office staff.

  • We’re bringing more intentionality to where we source talent from a broader set of universities, geographies, and ability levels and reaching out to community partners.
  • We’re continuing to build long-standing partnerships with small and disadvantaged businesses to provide services to our clients consistent with applicable procurement requirements.
  • We’re seeking a broad, competitive pool of qualified vendors and suppliers who provide materials to our firm.
  • We’re reaching out to veterans to put the power of their experience and service to work in the civilian sector, complementing their military training with our own.
  • And above all, we’re continuing to reflect on where we are and ask ourselves what else can be done, because progress deserves more of the same.

Serving Others

We help build communities through civil engineering and a deep commitment to community service. CobbFendley supports low-income school districts with the supplies and scholarships students and teachers need; we do school outreach and speaking engagements to promote interest in STEM curriculum and careers; we provide food banks with the donations required to offset food insecurity and feed those who are most vulnerable; and through our broadband projects, we’re privileged to help shrink the digital divide by giving underserved communities fair access to the internet.

Sustainability

As engineers and surveyors, we work to improve communities and enhance the quality of life. That means giving careful consideration to how the built environment impacts the natural environment, and how the solutions we employ now will affect the generations that follow. At CobbFendley, we carefully study the impact our projects will have on the environment, from how designs can decrease the likelihood and severity of flooding, to how material selections can meet infrastructure and sustainability challenges with equal strength. Our team includes Envision-certified engineers who use criteria established by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure to guide how we advise our clients and ensure environmentally-informed decisions.
