About Us
Brown and Caldwell is headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA. The company is a privately-held, 100% environmental firm with 1,900+ professionals serving clients locally and globally from 52 locations. Brown and Caldwell is the largest engineering and construction firm solely focused on the U.S. water and environmental sectors and is 100% employee-owned. The company is passionate about delivering exceptional service, collaborating with clients, adding value through innovation and building relationships that last. This passion dates back to Ken Brown and Dave Caldwell, who, since founding the company in 1947, stood out for their ability to solve engineering challenges, apply technology to emerging environmental problems, and serve the community.
In 1962, the company transitioned to employee-ownership. Brown and Caldwell’s purpose traces back to the two founders who had a vision: 100% environmental. The company has incorporated this vision in their past and is fully committed to in the future. Brown and Caldwell’s employee-owners are all working toward a common goal: to make a positive impact on the environment and in the world.
