Our story.
With many years of combined engineering and construction experience behind them and a shared desire to make a difference in the telecommunication industry, Geoff Bost, Eric Dickerson, and Matt Fields founded Engineered Tower Solutions in 2012. Ten years later, ETS is a highly respected engineering company, providing business-critical services to tower owners and operators across the nation and internationally.
Our constantly expanding inspection, engineering, and construction teams remain laser-focused on service delivery excellence so that regardless of project size or scope, every customer can expect the highest quality result on time and within budget.
You Can't Beat Experience
Our founders and leadership team have more than 100 years of combined experience in engineering services. Since day one, they have put our customer’s needs and wants at the center of our long-term business strategy, ensuring that every engagement is flawless.

We’re more than just reliable. We focus on your work, and we get it done when we say we will. We’re available when you need us, and we offer solutions to problems when they arise. Our number one priority is to ensure that our customers are satisfied with the services they receive.
We Can always Do Better
We never assume that customers are satisfied with our work. We always want to know how well we’re doing, and if we could do better, even if it means hearing the occasional bad news. We listen and respond to customer feedback so we can learn from it and improve our service.
