Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • USA Today named TAIT a 2025 Top Workplace for the fifth straight year.
  • Orange County Register ranked TAIT among top workplaces for the tenth year.
  • More than 220 professionals nationwide support larger project delivery capacity.

What critics are saying

  • Energy and fueling demand depends on EV infrastructure spending that clients can delay.
  • Fiedler integration must deliver revenue fast, or acquisition synergies vanish by 2027.
  • If development and fueling pipelines stall, TAIT's vertically integrated model stops compounding.

What makes Tait & Associates unique

  • TAIT's 2026 Fiedler Group acquisition deepens fueling and energy infrastructure expertise.
  • TAIT Energy, launched March 16, 2026, bundles EV charging, BESS, and renewables.
  • Family-owned TAIT spans engineering, environmental, building, and land development services.
