About Energy Land & Infrastructure

ELI’s History

ELI operations commenced in 2013 when its founders, Mr. Chuck Saunders and Mr. Michael Ray purchased the Nashville branch office of a successful regional engineering firm that opened around 2001. Mr. Saunders, ELI’s President, had taken over leadership of that branch office in 2006 until its purchase and transformation into ELI in 2013.  Today, ELI offers professional engineering services to the Southeast and mid-Atlantic with over 50 years of combined experience.  With a desire to share their own experiences and resolve complex problems with simple principles, ELI’s leadership continues to build a company forged from a committed staff with diversified skills and is committed to provide its clients professional engineering services with a remarkable quality.  ELI strives to create opportunities for individuals to grow, and thrive, on a personal and professional level, while serving a diverse growing infrastructure client base.

Due to the unavoidable decline of the country’s aging existing infrastructure and coupled with remarkable regional growth, ELI continues to expand by adding talented professionals serving clients throughout its target regions. ELI’s clear vision is to be a regional leader in the infrastructure market. ELI is committed to a business operational model that promotes and rewards diligence and diversity of skills in individuals, so that it can be corporately responsive to the marketplace.
