An overview
of your future role
BBA is a national, employee-owned, multi-disciplinary engineering and services firm with offices coast to coast, in the U.S. and abroad. We have an established Power and Renewables business line, which comprises Power Advisory and Asset Management (PAAM), Transmission and Distribution (T&D), Wind and Solar, Storage, Hydropower and Industrial Power groups.
