ESD Culture News

ESD is honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Chicago Commercial Real Estate Awards category of Consulting Engineer of the Year.
 

Appropriately enough, Women of Willis – a group started by ESD’s Julie Lardenoit and others – hosted its first event of 2020 in ESD’s Willis Tower space.
 

Giving back is a proud tradition at ESD. And one of the biggest ways we help those in need is through Golfing for Good, ESD’s annual campaign to support youth in our community.
 

At a women’s networking event, ESD’s Julie DeNardis Lardenoit met another woman from United who also worked at Willis Tower. Together, they decided to create Women of Willis, a network supporting women at Willis Tower and to create a community within the building.
 

Innovation is at the core of ESD. And it’s great when our team members work hard in a friendly competition to try to out-innovate each other.
 

Engineers are skilled at thinking logically, designing technical solutions and focusing intently on their field. Thanks to them, many of the benefits we enjoy in the 21st century – comfortable office buildings and high-speed smartphones, to name a few – are common around the world.
 

Recruiting is the lifeblood of ESD. Getting the best new hires will determine our success in the future.
 

ESD is always encouraging employees to give back to the community, and the San Francisco office always takes it to heart.
 

Serious college students love to keep learning even during a vacation – and ESD is always happy to serve as a guide to buoy their knowledge.
 

As the next generation becomes parents, what they want from the work environment changes greatly – ping-pong tables matter far less than a flexible schedule.
