TESTIMONIALS

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "Working at SSF is great because of the
attentive mentorship, casual work environment, and variety of projects I work on
every day. SSF has provided me with the tools and guidance to grow as a young
structural engineer ten times over since my first day."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mitchell Borseth, SSF Team

"It is rare to find a company that doesn’t pigeon-hole employees into a certain
project type for the sake of 'efficiency'.  SSF promotes diverse work
experiences to help employees grow in their careers."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zane Kanyer, Principal

"I think clients like the fact that we have both talent and personality. We’re a
smart group of individuals with varying interests, tons of character and stories
to tell.  We’re engaging, not stuffy."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chardie Byrne, Principal

"SSF Engineers all work on a variety of wood, steel, masonry and concrete
projects.  It is pretty special to get that kind of breadth of experience."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian Rittereiser, Principal

"I like working here because of the great people, great leadership, fun
projects, project variety, Tacoma location…great atmosphere. I keep working here
for the same reasons. SSF's casual corporate vibe results in very
productive, innovative and timely projects."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tony Williamson, SSF Team

Why were you drawn to join the SSF Team and why do our clients choose to work
with us?  "SSF works on interesting and diverse projects, and values and invests
in the employees. I wanted to be a part of that. For our clients, SSF brings
creative solutions and a willingness to think outside-the-box to achieve project
goals."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beth Brown, SSF Team

"Alternate Transportation Supported!  SSF has bike racks and a shower for
bicycle commuters!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Morrow, Retired Principal

"I get paid to do what I love to do, what I believe I have been made to do, for
my friends and with my friends.  If that isn’t motivation, I don’t know what
is!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryan Reichman, Principal

"At SSF, the entire team is valued, from support staff, to IT and CAD, to
technical staff. We provide a fun and relaxed atmosphere in which to excel. And
most importantly ... who wouldn’t like a dog-friendly office?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heidi Maki, Associate Principal

"We challenge our staff to push their own limits as much as they can."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gary Swenson, Retired Principal

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "I love working at SSF! We get to work on
interesting projects, my coworkers are fantastic, and I feel valued and
supported as an employee. We do have great benefits, which is awesome, but it's
the culture and work environment that have kept me here since 2013."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beth Brown, SSF Team

Why were you drawn to join the SSF team, and why do our clients choose to work
with us?  "SSF is a leader in local historic preservation AND we genuinely care
about the communities where we work.  From a client's perspective, we approach
each project with an appreciation for what makes it unique.  We don’t rely on
“one size fits all” type solutions."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Francesca Renouard, SSF Team

Why do our clients choose to work with us? "We have a large range of project
types that we work with regularly, and we are flexible when it comes to working
out the specific needs of each client."

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "We get to work on a wide range of interesting
and meaningful projects with fantastic coworkers and clients. At SSF you're
provided support and encouragement to grow in your career in a way that is most
suited to you and your specific interests and passions."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Francesca Renouard, SSF Team

Why do our clients choose to work with us? "I think our clients like that we
prioritize answering the phone and responding to emails even when things are
busy.  From what I hear, that's less common than you would expect!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evin Gibson, Associate Principal

"I’m given the autonomy to do what I was hired to do: be an engineer and work
with great colleagues and clients!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert Henry, SSF Team

Why do our clients choose to work with us? "We value architectural character in
both historic buildings and new construction and believe that the structure
should work in concert with the architecture."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryan Anderson, Associate Principal

"SSF Engineers have a high level of responsibility on projects and are empowered
to make important decisions and come up with creative solutions. We are not just
plugging and chugging through calculations we’ve done 100 times."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian Rittereiser, Principal

What drew you to work at SSF, and why do our clients choose to work with us? 
"The SSF team is made up of genuine people who value aesthetics. We communicate
well with our clients and work hard to find solutions to support their design -
within the limits of Newtonian physics!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert Henry, SSF Team

"When I was in grad school, I had a few classes with an SSF employee. He and I
had similar personalities and he thought I would be a good fit. I love the work
and the opportunity to design almost every project type you could imagine, from
residential to retrofits to climbing gyms. I've been here since 2004 and am
fortunate enough to be a shareholder. I think he was right!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zane Kanyer, Principal

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "Flexibility, Flexibility, Flexibility! Also,
a great group of engineers."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dennis Nelson, SSF Team

"SSF is equitable and truly values the happiness of their employees.  This is
evident in the retention rate…people that work here stay here!  We get great
bonuses, time and a half for overtime, 401k contributions and pay nothing for
health care."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian Rittereiser, Principal

What makes SSF different from other engineers? "SSF is more concerned with
keeping clients (and employees) happy than trying to make a quick buck. We push
for quality in every job we do."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris Potter, Associate Principal

“I love getting up in the morning to go to a place where I love the people I
work with. I am fascinated with the young, smart minds that work here and feel
that I learn as much from them as they learn from me; and at the same time
privileged to work with those that have been with us for many years. I have
often heard that we 'don’t seem like engineers,' well that is just fine with me.
 We are 'engineers-for-the-people' - we can work with anyone.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Say, Principal

"I appreciate the company's community involvement, not only through our radio
sponsorships with KUOW and KEXP, but our commitment to AIA, Design In Public,
Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, Historic Seattle, SMPS Seattle, Food
Lifeline, The BLOCK Project, and more!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heidi Maki, Associate Principal

"SSF hits it out-of-the-park with communication and creative design. For all
projects, we provide a personal commitment and a fun, collaborative experience."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blaze Bresko, Principal

"SSF offers engineers the rare combination of diverse project types and scales
with great clients in a fun, collaborative work environment. We enjoy thinking
creatively and generating new approaches to resolve structural challenges."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryan Anderson, Associate Principal

"Here's a quote I saw recently. 'God made structural engineers so architects can
have heroes too.' "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tony Williamson, SSF Team

Why do our clients choose to work with us?  "We tend to say yes more than we say
no, and we don’t always act like typical engineers."

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Say, Principal

"I like working here because I have the freedom to explore my ideas. I came here
because the opportunities for growth are unparalleled, and the atmosphere is
relaxed and welcoming. I stay here because my coworkers are awesome, you can’t
beat the perks and there’s a constant effort by SSF leadership to make things
even better. Shareholders wholeheartedly support my volunteer efforts – and I
get volunteer PTO!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sean King, Associate Principal

"I look forward to going to SSF every morning. Our efforts are targeted toward
producing the best work product possible for our clients. To do that, we focus
on creating a work environment that fosters creativity and happiness among
employees. That may mean wearing shorts and a t-shirt to work or bringing your
dog. Being as comfortable and happy as we can be allows us to produce the best
work possible. I believe this shows in our product."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brett Mozden, Principal

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "My desire was to be a part of a team that
worked on cool projects, valued life outside of work, and had a happy and
healthy work environment. I found just that (and more) with SSF!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dennis Kuzubov, SSF Team

What makes SSF different from other engineers? "SSF tends to have a “can do”
attitude and we are quick to respond when contacted."  Why were you drawn to
join the SSF team?  "I was recommended by another employee. I was immediately
attracted to what I perceived to be a well-run company with competent
leadership. Luckily this perception proved to be true!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sean Johnson, SSF Team

"We allow people to be themselves.  I’m proud of the people we have and the work
that we do every day."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chardie Byrne, Principal

What drew you to work at SSF, and why do you think our clients like to work with
us? "I enjoy SSF's casual work environment, extra-large work spaces and the
opportunity to work very independently. I think clients like to work with us
because of our quick response time."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bart Blans, SSF Team

What makes SSF different from other engineers?  "The variety of design
philosophies, our appreciation for aesthetics, a building’s historical
significance, and its impact on the community."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott Brown, SSF Team

Why do you choose to work at SSF? "Working at SSF is great because of the
attentive mentorship, casual work environment, and variety of projects I work on
every day. SSF has provided me with the tools and guidance to grow as a young
