Below, right: (left to right) Trudy Campbell, Jim Laret, Steve and Ellie Dillemuth. Due in large part to the synergy between its leadership and employees, San Dieguito Engineering has become a premiere land development company and public works consultant, surviving and even thriving in a post-Great Recession business climate. With the ability to change its business model to meet contemporary land development needs, SDE has become an award-winning woman-owned small business, with recognition in both the public and private sectors. Founded in Rancho Santa Fe in 1974 by John Fox and John Hawkins, San Dieguito Engineering originally undertook civil and soils engineering projects. David Newton joined the firm to manage the soils and geotechnical services. John Hawkins left the firm, and Steven Dillemuth took over his ownership position in 1977. In the early 80s, James Laret took an ownership position. In the mid-80s Gordon McElroy took an ownership position and managed the surveying services, and 1 8 8 F E N C I N I T A S - O u r H i s t o r y a n d P e o p l e
Wayne Pasco joined the firm as a project engineer. Ivan Fox (no relation to John Fox) signed on as General Manager. SDE performed work for a number of notable properties during the 1980s, including the Farms, Del Mar Country Club and The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. In 1989, Ernest Grabbe joined the firm, and James Laret left to establish Laret Engineering. That same year, Ivan Fox left to start Fox Engineering but would come back and, with Laurie Simon, purchase the shares of John Fox and Steven Dillemuth in 1991. By the early 1990s, SDE had long since secured its exceptional reputation. However, its leadership recognized that the company couldn’t rest on its laurels and adopted the unofficial motto, “Stay alive until 1995.” And indeed they would, by striving for client satisfaction, aiming to have “repeat clients repeatedly.” Noteworthy projects during the 1990s included Rancho Valencia Resort, Encinitas’ Wildflower Estates, Palma de la Reina Mixed Use Property, various sewer and water main extensions, The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, and single family grading plans and subdivisions. In 1994, Barry Munson joined the company as a partner, and in 1999, Steve Crosby and Andrew Karydes, to eventually replace Ivan Fox and Gordon McElroy. Hired as a project engineer in 2000, current President and CEO Annie Aguilar assumed her leadership role in 2011. Under her guidance, SDE has garnered many awards, including Women-Owned Small Business of the Year from the Small Business Administration (SBA) in 2014, a designation as one of the Top Women- Owned Businesses from the San Diego Business Journal in 2016, and in 2019, the American Public Works Association’s Project of the Year for its work on the San Diego County Water Authority Pipeline 3 relining from Lake Murray to the Sweetwater Reservoir, as well as ENR’s Best Project for BioLegend Campus Extension. Once again in 2020, SDE was presented the SBA Minority Business Champion of the Year Award. In 2000, Ivan spearheaded the creation of a subsidiary, AirX Utility Surveyors (which became its own entity in 2006), for the purpose of cataloging existing utilities via Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE). This service incorporates geophysics in the mapping of existing underground utilities, aiding in relocation design, quality assessment, and the transmission of data to utility stakeholders. SUE is considered a best practice to avoid construction costs for land development projects and public agencies nationwide. SDE has implemented SUE on several large-scale projects, such as the San Diego Airport Terminal 2 landside expansion in 2009, Sempra/Energy/SDG&E’s Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan in 2013, and utility mapping for Scripps Health campuses in 2017. Patricia Urquiza joined the company as Accounting Manager in 2003 and would eventually become CFO in 2016. Andrew Karydes signed on to the firm in 1999, becoming a partner in 2002. In 2004, Karydes assumed the role of Vice President and Secretary. As of this publication, the company, which employs 17 individuals, is based in Solana Beach and takes in an annual revenue of 2.8 million dollars. SDE will continue to grow and deliver top quality results for private development projects and public work agencies in the greater San Diego area. G Above: The SDE Team, c. 2019.
