Civil engineering firm specializing in transportation, structural, and environmental design
EMCS is a 51–200-person civil engineering practice based in Milwaukee with offices across Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. The tech stack is dominated by Autodesk design tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation) plus Trimble surveying software and hydraulic modeling packages (HEC-RAS, SWMM, HydroCAD)—a toolset typical of traditional AEC firms. Hiring has decelerated to 3 roles in the last 30 days, concentrated almost entirely in engineering (14 open positions across mid, senior, junior, and lead ranks), suggesting capacity constraints rather than growth mode.
EMCS provides civil engineering services across transportation planning and design, traffic engineering, structural design, environmental work, survey, and construction administration. The firm operates across the public and private sectors, handling projects from municipal infrastructure to site development and complete streets initiatives. Service delivery includes field inspection and construction observation, supported by in-house GIS and UAS (unmanned aerial systems) capabilities. The engineering-dominant staffing model and specialized hydraulic and roadway design tooling reflect a traditional design-build practice focused on delivery rather than platform or software offerings.
EMCS uses AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and MicroStation as primary design platforms, complemented by Trimble Business Center for survey workflows and HEC-RAS and SWMM for hydraulic modeling.
EMCS handles transportation design, freeway and urban street projects, complete streets with bicycle and pedestrian improvements, multi-use paths, site development, and construction observation on state highway and bridge work.
