Stephens Engineering Consultants, Inc.

Forensic engineering is a unique and non-traditional field for engineers. I wasn't sure how I'd like moving from the design engineering world to the investigative engineering world. Forensic engineering is just as technical as design, but in a different way. I can honestly say that it has been a smooth transition and very rewarding.

My time at STEPHENS has been rewarding. They place a lot of emphasis in training, mentoring, and support. The engineering team is awesome and very helpful and supportive. Although daily person-to-person contact with the engineering team is less frequent, everyone is still either available by phone or video conferencing. And I am in constant contact with my local team and the home office.

For those willing to learn and apply new things as well as strive for excellence in their daily work, STEPHENS is a rewarding place to work. There’s a lot of standardization in their process, which makes the field investigations and report preparation much easier. They are constantly improving their processes to benefit the team. The leadership is open to and easily approachable concerning new ideas to improve workflow and efficiency. I won’t deny that STEPHENS has high expectations for their team members. But that’s the reason that their reputation is stellar, and they continue to grow year over year.

I will say that sometimes the workload is heavy, and extra hours are needed to stay ahead of schedule and meet deadlines. But that’s true for every engineering company that I have worked for. Overall, they don’t really micromanage. If you’re getting your hours in each week and producing good quality work on time, management pretty much lets you do your job. There are times when they will give you additional advice and suggestions and I know this ultimately is to help make me better at what I do. Unfortunately, I’ve seen many people reject good advice and refuse to learn. I made the decision to learn and listen, which has helped to make me a better person today.

Lastly, STEPHENS has a very competitive compensation package and benefits. And they provide all the training and equipment necessary to perform the work. As a growing company, they have opportunities for growth and advancement for those with the desire and skills for leadership.

I have been at Stephens Engineering for 7 years. The job allows flexibility as you work from home. All equipment and a work vehicle is provided by the company. The company pays for all work related expenses, and provides great benefits and paid time off. Inspections are scheduled through our cooperate office, and office staff works with you regarding scheduling inspections and are willing to accommodate any personal conflicts. The job can be demanding during our high season, but resources are available to assist you; such as communicating with other engineers and supervisors as well as training. Training is typically completed for the first 2 months of your employment where you will work with other engineers. Even though you work from home there is a team environment as you are in communication with other employees. Overall it is a great company to work for.

I have worked for this company for over a year and it has been one of the best places I have worked since I became an engineer in 2012. This is the best blend of field and office work combined. I have worked at companies where I would be in the field all day or in the office all day and those jobs always got stagnant to me. That is why this job is the best by far since it is a blend of both and every project has its uniqueness to it, so it will never get boring. The flexibility of working from home and traveling has been a great change of pace to my lifestyle. Since I started working here I have obtained my engineer License in several other states, which has greatly helped me in the purpose of additional knowledge as an engineer. Overall it has been a great experience and has been the best-paying job I have every had.

Pay was good.  The benefits were good.  The company paid for all tools, provided vehicle with gas, and provided all front end scheduling and project administration.   Workplace culture was dictatorial.  If you objected to any requirements or changes in job description or interview expectations you  are told immediately to comply or quit.  No grey areas, black and white thinking.  Rarely in-person interaction with co-workers.  Written reports were often delayed in being Peer Reviewed which resulted in missing deadlines that were your responsibility. 

Despite its relatively small size, Stephens has and will continue to grow and you can be part of shaping its future. The combination of remote work, travel, on site work, and other duties as well as enough flexibility in scheduling creates an environment that allows you the ability to balance your life/work. As with any job, there are days where you will need to have laser focus to meet deadlines or put in the extra hours; for which you are fairly compensated. If you are tired of being just another body in a big firm and want to be apart of the force to grow a company, Stephens is the place.

Dynamic and innovative company looking to continually improve and open to listening to new ideas to help grow the company. Provides a great work and life balance as you get to work from home as an engineer. Great mix of site and office work for those who don't like being stuck behind a desk all day. Good leadership with a clear direction for the company.

Working at Stephens Engineering has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. The company's commitment to innovation and a positive work culture is evident in every aspect.
Stephens provides excellent compensation and benefits, extensive quality training, great work/life balance and they truly value their employees.  


Every day is different at Stephens. There is always an opportunity to learn and grow with this growing company. Great work culture. The team is always supportive and ready to help. Remote work is great, providing some flexibility while also getting to travel for work.

Great job with the ability to work remotely and have a sense of independence. Management is always available and easy to work with. Regular local travel to inspections and variety of job tasks as well as a balance of field and office work keep the job interesting and upbeat. 

A typical workday consists of site investigation(s) and/or report writing.
The site investigations can be very physical at times. Travel is like a mini vacation in some instances.
