Structural and underwater engineering design for bridges, marine facilities, and transportation infrastructure
Collins Engineers is a civil engineering firm specializing in structural analysis, bridge design, and underwater inspections—a niche that requires field expertise embedded in every project phase. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward engineering (68 of 86 open roles), with a median seniority spanning managers and senior engineers, indicating the firm is scaling technical capacity while promoting experienced staff. Pain-point clustering around project profitability, client billing accuracy, and accounts receivable suggests the firm is optimizing operations as it grows across regional offices.
Collins Engineers designs and inspects structural systems for transportation, marine, and construction clients across North America. Founded in 1979, the firm pioneered the use of diving engineers for underwater structure evaluation and now operates across bridges, waterfront facilities, dams, tunnels, and power infrastructure. The company's core differentiator is continuous engineer involvement from initial site inspection through construction administration and final inspection—a model that requires both deep technical expertise and field presence. Collins is recognized as an ENR Top 500 Design Firm and participates in industry standards development nationally and internationally.
Primary tools include AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, STAAD, and Mathcad for structural analysis and modeling. Project management runs on Oracle Primavera and Deltek Vantage; Bluebeam handles construction document collaboration.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company is hiring exclusively in the United States, with active projects addressing regional office growth and local performance targets.
