Energy Engineer

~ Sain Engineering Associates (SEA) is an energy engineering consulting firm founded in 1992 by its current CEO, Steve Sain. ~

Steve had aspirations for a better BALANCE among priorities of growth, profitability, customer service, community service & especially employee fulfillment. It was obvious that the current philosophy prioritized those things in that order, with employee fulfillment tending to be the lowest. His approach streamlines priorities down to three equally important “MUST DO” operating principles.
