Despite the uncertainty of 2020, ESS rolled into 2021 with confidence. By March of 2021, our teams had secured a healthy backlog for 2021 and beyond. Big kudos goes out to all of our estimators and pursuit teams. It takes a lot of hard work and talent to put up these kinds of win rates. They are some of the best in the biz. Their efforts have helped ESS lock in some stellar projects!
