Engineering and advisory firm for infrastructure, water, and climate adaptation
Antea Group is a 1,800-person engineering and advisory firm built around spatial planning, water management, and climate/energy transition projects. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operation: legacy civil engineering tools (Scia Engineer, MODFLOW, ArcGIS) paired with modern data infrastructure (Python, FastAPI, PostGIS, Azure DevOps, Docker), suggesting active digitization of traditionally manual workflows. Current hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering roles (74 of 125 active positions) with mid-to-senior seniority, indicating expansion of technical delivery capacity rather than sales or operations scaling.
