CSD is a 1,000+ person engineering consultancy operating across Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Lithuania since 1970. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward CAD and BIM tools (Revit, Tekla, Allplan, Civil 3D, AutoCAD) alongside hydrology and geotechnical modeling software (Plaxis, HEC-RAS, SWMM, EnergyPlus), with recent adoption of Microsoft cloud infrastructure (Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure). Hiring is engineering-dominated (80 of 98 roles) with a deep specialist mix—geology, geotechnics, environmental—reflecting the complexity of infrastructure and remediation projects the firm pursues.
Notable leadership hires: Geotechnik Project Lead, Geology Team Lead, Branch Director
CSD delivers engineering consultancy services in civil infrastructure, environmental remediation, and natural resources management. The company serves public and private clients across construction, contaminated-site remediation, water resources, road networks, rail infrastructure, and renewable energy (wind, climate solutions). With 30 branches across five countries, CSD operates at regional scale with vertically integrated teams spanning geology, geotechnical engineering, environmental impact assessment, and construction management. Active projects span wastewater treatment (microcontaminant removal), rail and road infrastructure expansion, environmental studies, and wind-farm environmental assessments. Internal pain points center on bid process management, ERP optimization, and portfolio building—typical friction for project-centric firms scaling across geographies.
CSD's primary tools are CAD and BIM platforms: Revit, Tekla Structures, Allplan, Civil 3D, and AutoCAD. For hydrology and geotechnical analysis, they deploy Plaxis 2D/3D, HEC-RAS, SWMM, and EnergyPlus. Microsoft Office, Dynamics 365, and Azure provide back-office and cloud infrastructure.
CSD is headquartered in Givisiez, Fribourg, Switzerland, and operates 30 branches across Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Lithuania. Founded in 1970, the firm employs 1,001–5,000 people.
