DEBRA KAYE, PE
President & CEO
“At V&A, our people are the foundation of everything we do. The quality of our work, the trust we build with our clients, and the impact we have on the communities we serve all start with our team.
We believe that when you invest in your people—supporting their growth, respecting their contributions, and creating an environment where they can thrive—you build something far greater than a company. You build a culture of accountability, collaboration, and pride in the work.
I am incredibly grateful for the team we have at V&A. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to our values are what make this company what it is today—and what will carry us forward into the future.”
Life at V&A Consulting Engineers
At V&A, our core values of Integrity, Respect, Commitment, Loyalty, Honesty, and Quality ensure that we are always focused on meeting our clients’ needs.
We are more than engineers.
Our team fully understands the impact of our work on the communities our clients and facilities serve. We are committed to providing sustainable solutions that improve and enhance the quality of life for people and the safety of our environment.
We also support and care deeply for each other professionally and personally. We pride ourselves on being part of the V&A family by being completely transparent and a close-knit company.
V&A also encourages our leaders, employees, and families to give time to participate in volunteering. We feel it is important to influence our team to take time from their busy schedules to help our less fortunate neighbors and give back to our communities.
Celebrating Together. Stronger Teams.
Our culture is built not only through the work we do, but through the moments we share. Across our offices, we make time to celebrate milestones, recognize achievements, and connect through team outings and social events. From work anniversaries and office celebrations to informal gatherings and team-building activities, these experiences strengthen relationships and foster a sense of community. By creating opportunities to connect beyond day-to-day projects, we support a collaborative environment where people feel valued, engaged, and part of something bigger.
Young Professionals Club
V&A’s Young Engineers Program (YEP) creates opportunities for early-career professionals to connect, learn, and grow together. Designed to support engineers in the early stages of their careers, the program brings team members together through networking events, professional development sessions, and social gatherings.
Through YEP, employees participate in activities such as lunch-and-learns, professional development workshops, and team-building events that help strengthen relationships across offices and disciplines. The program also encourages participation in industry organizations and events, helping young engineers build both technical expertise and lasting professional connections.
At its core, YEP blends learning with community and creating a supportive environment where emerging professionals can develop their careers while building strong connections within the V&A team.
Committed to Our Communities
Giving back is an important part of who we are. At V&A, we are committed to supporting the communities where we live and work through volunteer efforts and local engagement. Our team regularly participates in community initiatives and events that make a positive impact beyond our projects.
We encourage our employees to stay connected and engaged, strengthening our connection to the communities we serve.

Retirement & Ownership
Planning for the future is an important part of building a lasting career. V&A offers a 401(k) retirement plan with a 100% employer match up to 4%, with immediate vesting.
Employees also participate in V&A’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), allowing our team members to share directly in the company’s long-term success and the value they help create every day.
PTO & Flexibility
Time away from work is essential for maintaining balance and perspective. V&A provides a paid time off (PTO) program that grows with tenure, along with paid holidays and floating holidays that allow employees to celebrate the occasions that matter most to them. We believe in flexibility and trust, empowering our employees to perform at their best while maintaining healthy lives outside the workplace.
Shared Ownership. Shared Success.
At V&A, ownership is more than a concept; it’s a commitment to building something lasting together. Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) allows employees to share in the long-term success of the company while contributing to the growth and stability that have defined V&A for decades.
By creating an ownership culture, we strengthen collaboration, accountability, and pride in the work we do every day for our clients and communities.
Why we became an ESOP company
V&A’s transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was driven by a clear vision from President & CEO, Debbie Kaye, to protect the culture, values, and long-term stability that have defined the company for decades. Debbie believed that the people who help build V&A’s success every day should have the opportunity to share that success.
Debbie’s vision was simple: ensure that the people who contribute to V&A’s success today also share in the company’s future.
By choosing employee ownership, V&A ensured that the company’s future would remain in the hands of those who understand its mission, its clients, and the quality of work that has shaped its reputation. ESOP allows V&A to grow and evolve while preserving the collaborative culture and commitment to excellence that make the company unique.
