Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
Built differently from the start
Some firms deliver projects. We set out to solve problems.
Why We Exist
Engineering with purpose
Drummond Carpenter was created to solve problems, not simply study them.
Founder and service-disabled U.S. Navy veteran Chad Drummond built the firm after working in environments where decisions carried real consequences. There wasn’t room for disconnected thinking. Environmental systems, infrastructure, and mission readiness all influenced one another, and the best decisions came from seeing the whole picture.
That experience still shapes how we work today. We pair practical engineering with scientific rigor, remain engaged from planning through implementation, and never lose sight of the people who depend on the outcome.
From our team
Leadership understands our work, and you can feel that in how the firm operates.

What Guides Us
Values built into everything we do
The way we work is shaped by more than technical expertise. These principles guide how we approach problems, work with clients, and continue building our team.
Solve the right problem
We focus on the work that makes the biggest difference, creating solutions that stand up over time, not just on paper.
Stay curious
The first answer is rarely the best one. We ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and never stop learning.
Connect the dots
Every project is part of a larger system. We look beyond individual disciplines to understand how decisions ripple across people, infrastructure, and the environment.
Show up
Clients deserve more than recommendations. We stay engaged, communicate openly, and see the work through.
Do what you say
Trust isn't assumed because of a title or credential. It's earned through preparation, follow-through, and doing what we say we'll do.
Never settle
We grow with intention, adding people, expertise, and new capabilities when they make us a stronger partner for our clients.
Where We Are Today
Multidisciplinary by design
Today, Drummond Carpenter brings together engineers, scientists, geologists, GIS specialists, and data experts who work across traditional boundaries to solve interconnected challenges.
Our teams support environmental restoration, critical infrastructure, water systems, federal facilities, and data-driven decision-making. Across every discipline, the approach remains consistent: understand the full picture, work closely with the client, and develop solutions built to perform over time.

What comes next
Still building with purpose
The world doesn’t need another engineering firm. It needs engineering partners who can connect disciplines, cut through complexity, and turn more data into better decisions. That’s the firm we’re continuing to build.
We’ll keep investing in our people and expanding our expertise. We’ll adopt new technologies where they improve outcomes, not because they’re new. And we’ll continue growing with intention, without losing the relationships and accountability that have defined Drummond Carpenter from the beginning.
