DLZ is a 501–1,000-person architecture and engineering firm anchored in Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and GIS—a stack typical of large civil infrastructure practices. Their project mix (water treatment, lead service line replacement, sewer systems, contaminated-site assessment) and pain-point focus on regulatory compliance and concurrent project management reveal a firm scaling delivery across municipal and environmental remediation work. Engineering dominates hiring, signaling continued field-capacity growth.
DLZ is a full-service architecture, engineering, surveying, and construction-management firm founded in 1946 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, with offices across eight Midwestern and mid-Atlantic states. The firm serves municipal, industrial, and environmental clients on civil infrastructure projects—water systems, wastewater facilities, environmental assessments—as well as architectural design and construction oversight. Work spans feasibility studies and short-term investigations through multi-million-dollar, multi-year programs. The firm employs roughly 500–1,000 staff across engineering, design, construction, and support functions.
DLZ uses Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, GIS, Bluebeam, ArcGIS, GPS, and Trimble for design, surveying, and field data capture. Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint) handles administrative work.
Active projects include water treatment facilities, lead service line replacement programs, combined sewer overflow systems, topographic and boundary surveys, booster pump stations, and contaminated-media investigations across municipal and environmental clients.
