Engineering consulting for utility infrastructure design and renewables
Booth & Associates is a 60-year-old consulting firm focused on utility-sector engineering—distribution, transmission, substation, and renewable energy design. Their hiring is heavily concentrated in senior engineering roles (32 of 51 open positions), with 30 roles posted in the last month; this seniority mix suggests they're scaling experienced design staff to handle growing project backlogs rather than building junior pipelines. The tech stack is domain-standard (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, SCADA, STAAD.Pro), reflecting capital-intensive infrastructure work with minimal new tooling adoption—typical for firms in regulated industries where validation and interoperability matter more than innovation velocity.
Booth & Associates provides engineering consulting to municipalities, electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, military installations, and educational/industrial campuses. Their service scope spans surveying, permitting, civil site design, structural and steel design, and full-service utility infrastructure (substations, transmission lines, distribution systems, renewables, and natural gas). The firm also provides on-site construction support. With 51–200 employees based in Raleigh, North Carolina, they operate as a project-driven consulting business, managing active work in substation design, feeder reconductors, solar/wind farm development, battery storage, and overhead/underground distribution projects. Pain points center on business development (client acquisition and expansion in the utility market) and resource planning for project backlogs.
Autodesk suite (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation), ArcGIS, STAAD.Pro for structural analysis, HydroCAD for drainage, SCADA for control systems, and AWS cloud infrastructure. Also Lidar for surveying.
Substation design, transmission and distribution line projects, voltage conversions, feeder reconductors, solar and wind farm design, battery storage systems, overhead/underground distribution, and transmission pole foundations.
