C&I Engineering is a 40-year-old design and engineering firm anchored in CAD-native tools (AutoCAD, CADWorx, MicroStation, ETAP) with no visible tech modernization underway. The hiring shape is almost entirely staff and senior engineers (25 of 28 engineering roles) rather than junior, combined with active projects in water and wastewater treatment design — suggesting deep expertise in complex industrial systems but potential constraints in scaling project delivery across disciplines and client acquisition.
C&I Engineering provides design, engineering, and procurement services to refineries, chemical plants, utility facilities, distilleries, and similar industrial operations. The firm specializes in capacity expansion, efficiency improvements, regulatory compliance, and safety-focused projects. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, C&I operates with a 201–500-person team built primarily around engineering disciplines. The company manages projects through Oracle Primavera and Microsoft Project, alongside CAD tooling, and has maintained long-term client relationships across the oil, energy, and utilities sectors since its founding in 1983.
AutoCAD, CADWorx, MicroStation, and ETAP are the primary design tools. The stack also includes Oracle Primavera and Microsoft Project for project management.
