Dewberry Tech Stack
AEC firm designing infrastructure, water systems, and built environments
Dewberry is a 2,500+ person AEC services firm founded in 1956, operating across 50 locations with deep roots in civil, structural, and environmental design. The tech stack is heavy on Autodesk (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Microstation) and Trimble surveying tools—standard for the discipline—but notably adopting Dayforce for workforce management, suggesting effort to automate staff scheduling and retention tracking across a geographically distributed operation. Hiring velocity is decelerating while engineering roles dominate (483 of 632 open positions), and pain points cluster around backlog growth, water-practice scaling, and staff retention—typical pressure points for a services firm managing growth faster than personnel infrastructure can support.
