T. Baker Smith

Congratulations to Amberlyn Walsh on graduating from Leadership Jefferson Class of 2026!

Over the past nine months, she's spent time learning more about Jefferson Parish, meeting local leaders, and building new relationships along the way.

We're proud of Amberlyn and excited to celebrate this milestone with her.

Safety is never “done.” It’s something we work on every single day.

Through training, technology, and continuous improvement, our teams are always looking for ways to work smarter and safer. Because progress isn’t just about what we build—it’s about how we build it.

That commitment is what keeps our people, our projects, and our communities moving forward.

We had a great time hosting SWAMP Camp with the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center! From surveying demonstrations and environmental activities to hands-on engineering projects, it was a fun day of learning and exploring.

We love opportunities like this to share what we do and hopefully spark an interest in STEM. Seeing the excitement and curiosity from this group reminded us that the future is in good hands.

Safety is more than a moment on the jobsite; it’s a culture our associates help build every day.

Since launching our Safety Incentive Program in 2017, TBS associates have submitted thousands of Job Safety Analyses and safety observations, taking proactive steps to protect one another and strengthen our safety culture across the company.

That commitment has resulted in nearly $680K in safety incentive prizes awarded to associates who continue working hard, smart, and SAFE.

Because when safety becomes second nature, everyone wins.

Congratulations to Daniel Fontenelle, PE on celebrating 5 years with T. Baker Smith!

"One of the things I’m most thankful for at T. Baker Smith is the opportunity to work alongside Daniel. Over the last five years, I’ve watched him earn the respect of everyone around him through his intelligence, work ethic, and character. He’s not only an outstanding Engineer but also a great friend, and I’m grateful every day that we get to work together." — Daniel Binet, PE | Lead Transportation Engineer, Bridges

Daniel, thank you for the hard work, dedication, and positive impact you’ve made over the past five years. We’re grateful to have you on the team and look forward to all that’s ahead.

Congratulations to Jason Chauvin, PE on celebrating 15 years with T. Baker Smith!

Over the years, Jason has become a respected leader within our Coastal Practice and someone teammates across the firm can rely on. His steady leadership, commitment to excellence, and passion for the work continue to leave a lasting impact on both our team and the communities we serve.

“Jason officially makes 15 years with the firm, but it all really started 20 years ago when he was hired as ‘summer help’ in May 2006. Since then, he has grown from Engineer Intern to Engineering Lead Professional for the Coastal Practice, taking on several key roles along the way. As the firm has grown, Jason has grown with it — and we’re excited to see what the next 15 years holds.” — Russell Gardner, PE, PMP | Discipline Leader - Engineering

Thank you, Jason, for the dedication and leadership you continue to bring to TBS each day.

Safety is more than a policy at TBS; it’s a commitment our teams live out every day.

From over 654,000 work hours to zero OSHA recordables and 1.7 million miles driven, these numbers represent the people, accountability, and mindset behind our safety culture.

This National Safety Month, we’re proud of the way our associates continue to lead with Heart, apply Knowledge, and work with Grit to keep one another safe. Because safety starts with us.

What a wonderful time we had at Girls Who Code hosted by Terrebonne Foundation for Academic Excellence! TBS is proud to support programs that inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.

There’s something powerful about a room full of young women who are curious, driven, and ready to make a difference. From coding and creativity to confidence and collaboration, the future is bright, and we’re excited to see where these future innovators go next.

Congratulations to Kaleb Brooks on celebrating 5 years at T. Baker Smith!

Over the past five years, Kaleb has continued to make his mark through his drive, adaptability, and commitment to growing both personally and professionally.

“It has been exciting to see the skills that Kaleb has shown in my short time at TBS. His versatility and willingness to tackle new challenges, while steadily growing in his role, serves as a testament to his recent promotion to Project Manager.” — Austin LaCombe, PE | Lead Professional, Subsurface Utility Engineering

Congratulations, Kaleb, on this milestone and your recent promotion. We’re excited to see all that’s ahead for you at TBS!
