Sespe Consulting, a Ventura-based environmental, engineering and planning firm, has been acquired by Trinity Consultants out of Dallas, Texas.

Sepse specializes in land use planning, environmental permitting and compliance and worker safety. It works in fields including mining and construction materials, oil and gas, general manufacturing, agriculture, real estate development and local government.

The company was founded in 2009 by John Hecht, Joe King and Rob Dal Farra, and the founders will remain in place at Sespe to help the Ventura office coordinate with other Trinity offices in Irvine, Bakersfield, Sacramento and Oakland. Sespe also has offices in San Diego and Grants Pass, Oregon.

“We have known Sepse as a worthy competitor for a number of years,” said Vineet Masuraha, Trinity’s West Coast Managing Director. “We could not be more pleased to be teaming up with them to support West Coast clients with superior environmental services.”
