BKBM Engineers Announces Transition to 100% Employee-Owned ESOP

BKBM Engineers Announces Transition to 100% Employee-Owned ESOP 

BKBM Engineers is excited to announce a significant milestone: we are now a 100% employee-owned engineering firm. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), every member of BKBM now shares in the firm’s growth, deepening our commitment to excellence, client partnerships, and building strong communities throughout Minnesota, Colorado, and beyond. 

What Does Employee Ownership Mean at BKBM Engineers? 

As a leading civil and structural engineering firm, BKBM’s move to 100% employee ownership means our clients work directly with dedicated owners on every project. This ownership model strengthens our culture of accountability, responsiveness, and collaboration. When you choose BKBM, you are partnering with engineers, designers, and specialists who are personally invested in the success of your vision. 

“This isn’t just a change in structure. It’s a reflection of our values,” said Tina Wyffels, Principal at BKBM Engineers. “Our teams have always believed in partnership, transparency, and creative problem-solving. I’m confident we’ll see stronger results because we all have a stake in the work and in each other’s success.” 

The ESOP Advantage: What Sets BKBM Engineers Apart 

At BKBM, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan is designed to give team members a real stake in the future. Employees earn stock in the company over time as a benefit. Profits are reinvested in the people who make every project possible, rather than sent to outside investors. 

How this benefits our clients: 

• Accountability: Work with professionals who have a genuine investment in delivering reliable and innovative engineering solutions. 

• Consistency: Employee ownership fosters stability, lowers turnover, and supports deep institutional knowledge on every project. 

• Long-Term Focus: Our clients enjoy the advantages of long-lasting relationships, forward-thinking design, and unwavering commitment from a team invested in both present and future success. 

Employee Ownership at BKBM Goes Beyond Benefits 

Our ESOP is about more than retirement savings; it’s a promise to support career growth, innovation, and recognition for every team member. 

“As a 100% employee-owned firm, every person at BKBM shares in our achievements, both financially and as a valued part of our culture,” said Kevin Bohl, Civil Principal. “It’s a tangible reward for dedication and helps create an environment where collaboration and excellence are the norm.” 

Building on a Tradition of Partnership and Innovation 

For almost sixty years, BKBM Engineers has provided client-focused civil and structural engineering services throughout Minnesota, Colorado, and nationwide. Our transition to an employee-owned company reinforces our reputation for delivering responsive, collaborative care, powered by a team that takes pride and ownership in every project.
