ET Design-Build Celebrates Eight Years of Employee Ownership

December 31st marks a special day for ET Design-Build. It’s our eighth anniversary as an employee-owned company through the formation of our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This milestone represents more than just years on the calendar. It’s a celebration of the shared success and dedication of our entire team. An impressive measure of the team’s success is reflected in the dramatic change in stock value, which has already increased more than 350%.

What Does Employee Ownership Mean at ET?

When ET Design-Build became an ESOP eight years ago, we committed to empowering every employee as a stakeholder in the company’s growth and achievements. Being an employee-owner means having a vested interest in the success of ET Design-Build. It’s not just a job—it’s an opportunity to build something bigger together.

Employee ownership drives collaboration, innovation, and a sense of pride that fuels everything we do. It also means that every project we complete and every goal we achieve benefits not just the company but every individual who contributes to that success.

A Day to Reflect and Celebrate

In recognition of this unique structure and the incredible efforts of our team, we’ve made December 31st a paid day off as ESOP Recognition Day. It’s our way of saying “thank you” and giving our employees the opportunity to celebrate their hard work and commitment as stock owners.

Why Employee Ownership Matters

For ET Design-Build, the ESOP isn’t just a program—it’s a cornerstone of who we are. It strengthens our culture, fosters long-term growth, and ensures that our team remains at the heart of our success. Over the past eight years, this ownership model has fueled not only our company’s development but also the personal and professional growth of our employees.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many more years of shared accomplishments, innovation, and growth.
