TRANSACTIONS RMA COMPANIES ACQUIRES BLACK EAGLE CONSULTING RMA Companies announced the acquisition of Black Eagle Consulting, a provider of geotechnical and construction inspection services based in Reno, Nevada. Since August 2021, RMA has now completed 12 acquisitions of leading firms throughout the U.S. as it builds a national platform for testing, inspection, and related services to support the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure. With more than 27 years of experience in Northern Nevada, Black Eagle has established itself as a regional leader in geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, inspection, and advanced non-destructive examination services. Operating out of Reno and Carson City, Black Eagle serves federal and state agencies, municipal public works departments, power and utility agencies, mining companies, engineers, contractors, and developers investing in the built environment.
“Black Eagle is another great addition to the RMA family of companies,” said Ed Lyon, CEO of RMA Companies. “Their local capabilities and laboratory facilities in Reno and Carson City enable RMA to serve a fast-growing region of Nevada and expand our non-destructive examination capabilities. The combined resources of our teams in Nevada will allow us to better serve our clients across the state and throughout the broader southwestern United States.” “This acquisition marks an exciting next chapter for our team at Black Eagle,” said Remo Osmetti, founder of Black Eagle. “As we look towards the future, we are excited to be able to provide expanded opportunities for professional growth for our team members and expand upon our service offerings to our clients. Our clients benefit, our team members benefit, and we bring valuable services to RMA. This is a big win for everyone involved.”

2. Foster a collaborative work environment. Encourage teamwork and collaboration by creating spaces and platforms where employees can easily communicate, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. This could involve implementing collaborative tools, establishing cross-functional teams, and organizing regular brainstorming sessions or design charrettes. 3. Prioritize work-life balance. Recognize the importance of work-life balance and support employees in achieving it. Offer flexible work arrangements, such as remote work options or flexible hours, to accommodate individual needs. Additionally, promote a culture of respect for personal time off and ensure that employees are not overburdened with excessive workloads. 4. Solicit and act on feedback. Regularly seek feedback from employees through surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one discussions, and take tangible actions based on their input. This demonstrates a commitment to listening to employee concerns and continuously improving the employee experience within the organization. In conclusion, prioritizing employee experience is not just a nicety but a strategic imperative for AEC firms looking to thrive in an increasingly competitive industry landscape. By embedding employee experience into the fabric of their organizational strategy and implementing targeted initiatives to support employee well-being, growth, and engagement, AEC firms can foster a workforce that is motivated, innovative, and poised for success.
