Essel Environmental

Essel Environmental is a nationwide workforce solutions and environmental consulting firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in California. It began by helping public sector clients manage hazardous materials in public buildings - protecting their liability while ensuring safe environments - and has since expanded into disaster response staffing, emergency response services, and staffing for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) and technology sectors.

The company employs more than 100 people and has built a full independent internal team of recruiters, account managers and leadership to serve client demand. It was named to the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for two consecutive years. Its work spans environmental services, the public sector, disaster and emergency response, AEC and technology.

Essel positions itself as an alternative to corporate conglomerates in environmental consulting, having evolved from a family operation into a nationwide business. It describes a depth-over-breadth approach to client relationships - preferring to deliver many projects for a single client rather than single projects across many clients - alongside an emphasis on client stewardship, proactive partnership, and safe environments.
