BGE is a 1,000+ person engineering consulting firm built around Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and GIS—the foundational stack for infrastructure design. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward junior engineers and interns (95 of 151 roles), with only 33 senior engineers and 5 directors, signaling either high growth or significant upstream project volume outpacing leadership capacity. Active workload spans land development, archaeological surveys, bridge design, and permitting, with documented friction around client acquisition and managing concurrent multifamily projects.
