What EnSafe does

EnSafe, Inc. is a private, employee-owned (ESOP) environmental, engineering, health and safety, and information technology consulting firm headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Founded in 1980 by Phil Coop and Wendell Knight, the firm employs approximately 460 professionals across 20+ U.S. offices spanning from New Hampshire to California, delivering services to federal, state, and municipal government agencies as well as industrial clients in utilities, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and paper/packaging sectors.

EnSafe's service portfolio is organized around six core solution areas: Environmental Management & Planning (compliance, permitting, Phase I/II ESAs, PFAS support), Civil/Design Engineering (land development, water/wastewater, stormwater), Environmental Restoration (site remediation, brownfields, decontamination and decommissioning), Natural & Water Resources (ecological services, wetland mitigation), Health & Safety (industrial hygiene, process safety management, OSHA compliance), and Technology Solutions (GIS, drone surveys, 3D modeling, and proprietary software). Proprietary technology includes LTMPro™, an automated groundwater trend-analysis platform launching Version 2 in November 2025 with planned EQuIS data warehouse integration, and Visual PFAS™, acquired in June 2026 through the acquisition of Canada-based Porewater Solutions. The firm also operates GR2, a wholly owned subsidiary providing turn-key AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) management and decontamination services, and the West Tennessee Wetland Mitigation Bank.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model through competitive bidding on government contracts and direct engagement with industrial clients. EnSafe pursues large-scale federal remediation programs through joint ventures — notably as part of the AECOM-led Resolution Consultants JV for the U.S. Navy's CLEAN contract — and has executed a programmatic acquisition strategy spanning more than two decades (EMPE, PSC Safety and Health, EnviroSense, E2 Managetech, Accord Engineering, Cirrus, Progressive Engineering & Construction, and Porewater Solutions). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• GHD: Global employee-owned engineering, environmental, and advisory firm. Comparable across environmental management, remediation, and water resource consulting, with a broader international footprint than EnSafe.
• AECOM: One of the largest global infrastructure consulting firms and EnSafe's Navy CLEAN joint venture partner. Overlaps heavily with EnSafe's federal environmental remediation, engineering, and design practices; competes with EnSafe on task orders while also enabling EnSafe's pursuit of larger contracts.
• WSP USA: Large global professional services firm with a sizeable U.S. environment, water, and earth engineering practice. Competes with EnSafe on federal, state, and industrial environmental and remediation engagements.
• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and environmental consulting firm with strong water, remediation, and ESG advisory practices. Comparable to EnSafe across environmental site assessment, remediation design, and ESG/sustainability advisory services.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with a major water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure practice. Directly comparable to EnSafe's environmental, water resources, and remediation services, but at vastly larger scale and with broader federal contracting reach.
• Jacobs Solutions: Major federal and environmental services contractor with deep DoD, DOE, and civil agency relationships. Competes with EnSafe on large environmental remediation and compliance contracts, and serves as a benchmark for the scale EnSafe could reach.

Direct peers

• S&ME: Mid-sized engineering, environmental, and geotechnical consulting firm serving the Southeast and broader U.S. Highly comparable service mix and regional overlap with EnSafe; an external EnSafe board member is S&ME's retired CEO, underscoring the close peer relationship.
• TRC Companies: U.S. consulting firm providing environmental, engineering, and construction management services across energy, infrastructure, and federal markets. Direct competitor for EnSafe's environmental compliance, remediation, and infrastructure-related federal work.
• Haley & Aldrich: Employee-owned environmental and geotechnical engineering firm closely mirroring EnSafe's ESOP culture and service mix, including site assessment, remediation, compliance, and EHS consulting for industrial and government clients.
• Brown and Caldwell: Employee-owned environmental engineering firm focused on water, wastewater, and remediation for municipal and industrial clients. Closely comparable to EnSafe's Civil/Design Engineering and Natural & Water Resources practices, with a similar ownership-driven culture.
