OUR STORY

 

Sequoia was founded with a clear purpose: to lead with discipline, grow with intention, and deliver high-impact environmental infrastructure that strengthens communities and supports a substantiable future. Led by Jake Weiss, a third-generation construction entrepreneur with deep roots in the industry, Sequoia blends technical expertise with a growth-minded vision for how modern infrastructure can and should be delivered. We are committed to raising the standard in construction through continuous improvement, technical excellence, and a relentless focus on quality, safety, and performance.

Born from a legacy of excellence in water, wastewater, and renewable energy construction, Sequoia’s leadership is determined to build a diversified, best in class construction firm that embraces accountability, invests in people, and relentlessly pursues excellence. Our team brings together specialized expertise in renewable natural gas (RNG), water and wastewater treatment, and complex mechanical systems while remaining agile enough to service commercial and industrial sectors as opportunities emerge.

At our core, we are builders. We are problem-solvers, teammates, and trusted partners. Guided by our values of Growth, Integrity, Accountability, and Tenacity, we are building more than projects. We are building people, partnerships, and an enduring organization in pursuit of excellence.  We are building tomorrow by growing today.
