Engineering and infrastructure design firm specializing in civil, transportation, and water systems
Ayres Associates is a 201–500-person engineering firm founded in 1959, headquartered in Wisconsin and operating nationwide. The tech stack is dominated by Autodesk Civil 3D, Trimble surveying tools, and GIS platforms—standard for infrastructure design—with no visible adopts or replacements, signaling operational stability over technology exploration. Hiring is accelerating with 70 open engineering roles, mostly mid-to-senior, reflecting pressure to expand transportation and municipal practices; the pain-point list confirms the constraint: winning new transportation work, building survey capacity, and staffing regional growth.
