providing innovative solutions to challenges and tackling endeavors that are new to the industry. I believe this mindset has significantly contributed to our success in the energy transition sector,” Josh continues.
This year, Samuel will celebrate its 30th anniversary, marking a journey defined by excellence and relentless innovation. As Curtis and Josh suggest, the primary factor driving the company’ s continued success is its vision for longevity.“ Part of the reason Claudia founded Samuel, and why our team came together, was their past experience working at large EPC companies, which they did not particularly enjoy as such businesses often operated under a hire-and-fire mentality with a short-term focus on quarterly financials, treating employees like numbers,” Curtis says.“ At Samuel, we always aspired to create something completely different. We were founded with two core values, excellence and compassion, both of which we integrate into everything that we do. As a privately owned company, our vision is to be in business for hundreds of years, providing the solutions we are renowned for while continuing to invest in our employees and in our relationships with customers.”
The pair conclude:“ Our commitment to longevity informs all our decisions, from choosing which industries to enter to our

For example, during the pandemic, we did not lay off a single person due to lack of work, despite experiencing the same obstacles as everybody, like significantly reduced revenue.

who work with us are part of our family, and this approach helped us keep our team together, many of whom have worked together for over ten years. As a result, when clients did reach out during the pandemic, we could quickly mobilize teams that had already worked together on similar projects. We did not have to recruit from outside and train new hires; everyone was ready to go. This vision for longevity remains our guiding principle and will continue to contribute to our success.”
For three decades, Samuel has maintained a steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation, and compassion. As the company celebrates its 30th year in operation, its holistic approach to engineering and sustainability, paired with its focus on creating strong relationships and fostering a cohesive team, positions it for continued growth in the evolving landscape of engineering, fabrication, and construction. ■
