What We Do

Braun Intertec is proud to be an employee-owned geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and testing firm which has grown to over 1,000 employee-owners. Our vision is to be both the consultant of choice and employer of choice.

At Braun Intertec, our employees own the company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Our employee-owner culture is a driver of our success. Because our employee-owners have a financial interest in the company, they have a vested interest in delivering quality services to our clients. The ESOP model is supported by developing programs that compensate, communicate to and inspire others to “think and act like owners.” We work to build a community of employee-owners through team-building events and activities.

Our workplace is full of engaged employee-owners who value and encourage a healthy workplace. At our firm, we promote employee health to encourage a productive lifestyle both at work and at home. Our wellness initiatives continue to have a positive impact on the lives and well-being of our people. We offer a variety of health management resources and tools focused on diet, nutrition, exercise, education, and disease-management. In addition, we continue to identify tools that address the health needs and priorities that are important to our employee-owners
