What EDGE Engineering and Science, LLC does

EDGE Engineering and Science, LLC is a Houston-headquartered environmental consulting firm founded in 2010 that delivers full-lifecycle environmental services to enterprise clients in the energy, refining, chemical, oil and gas, manufacturing, power, technology, and transportation sectors. The firm organizes its work around two service divisions: Natural Resource Services, covering environmental policy and permitting, cultural resource management, GIS and mapping, protected species management, environmental construction management, and communications and outreach; and Industrial Services, covering air quality management, compliance and liabilities management, and management of contaminated sites (including Risk-Based Corrective Action under the MIRBCA framework). Named enterprise clients include Cyanco, Riviana Foods, Solutia, and Centurion Pipeline.

The firm operates from six U.S. offices spanning Texas (Houston HQ and Austin), Ohio (Cincinnati), West Virginia (Huntington), Virginia (Newport News), and Pennsylvania (Cranberry Township), enabling multi-jurisdictional project coverage across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Appalachian energy corridors. Its technical core is built on credentialed staff — permitted fish and mussel biologists, ESA/NEPA specialists, and air quality and remediation professionals — supplemented by industry-standard tooling including Esri's ArcGIS platform for GIS/mapping and GPS-based field data collection. Leadership is led by President and CEO J Scot Vann, P.E. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees billed under time-and-materials and fixed-price contract structures typical of the environmental consulting sector, with no subscription, SaaS, or productized software offering evident in the input. The 11–50 employee headcount and six-office footprint indicate a regional mid-market consultancy serving anchor enterprise accounts on multi-year permitting, compliance, and site remediation programs. Strategic activity has centered on organic service line expansion (Protected Species Practice in 2020, Communications & Outreach in 2026), entry into carbon sequestration work with Centurion Pipeline, and state-level regulatory collaboration with Michigan EGLE on Risk-Based Corrective Action frameworks.
