I am confident that the next generation of leaders will continue the success we have enjoyed these past decades,” stated Rick Burke, PE, Vice President of Becht Engineering BT, Inc.


With deep gratitude, we acknowledge Rick for his exceptional leadership and commitment in guiding our structural team and projects to achieve incredible results over the last twenty years. His contributions are truly valued and appreciated.
