ABOUT OUR SPONSOR: e2 engineers:

e2 engineers was established in 2002, when its Founding Principal, Scott Erricson, set up his tiny hall closet as a home office, and completed the first 5 projects under the e2 engineers’ name.

The name was developed with the help of Scott’s second son, who, at 5 years old, loved the idea of a name with a number. When Scott suggested “e2,” thinking that one day his son might join the firm, he broke a precedent in the design world by naming it solely after himself. The decision reflects the firm’s client-centered mindset and long-term vision. While the younger Erricson never joined e2 engineers, many others did. Engineers who value collaboration, accountability, and building lasting relationships with clients. 

Chad Vogt, a brilliant engineer with a similar entrepreneurial mindset, merged his independent practice with e2 engineers in 2010. As Principal, Chad brought along a wealth of new practice areas and a rare skill for managing the internal operations of a growing design firm, including developing young engineers. 

Today, e2 engineers is a well-established structural engineering practice with two locations and multiple licensed engineers on staff. While our work spans from Maine to Florida and several states westward, our roots and ongoing focus remain in Southern New England. We’re excited to continue growing alongside the partners who shape this region.
