Cochran Tech Stack
Regional civil engineering and land surveying firm spanning municipal infrastructure to site development
Cochran is a 120+ person civil engineering partnership operating seven offices across the Midwest, with a tech stack anchored in design-and-survey tools (AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, LiDAR, Trimble, Leica) rather than software development. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles across mid and senior levels, while pain points cluster around junior-staff development, municipal permitting complexity, and data-collection efficiency — suggesting the firm is scaling project capacity while managing knowledge transfer as newer engineers move into independent delivery.
