Civil engineering and environmental consulting for water infrastructure and community development
Forsgren is a regional civil engineering and environmental consulting firm operating across the Intermountain West with 60 years of practice. In October 2025, the firm joined Apex Companies, a national multidisciplinary consulting group (ENR-ranked #13 in environmental services), significantly expanding its footprint and service delivery capability. The tech stack—HEC-RAS, AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, MicroStation—reflects the core work: hydraulic modeling, site design, and geospatial analysis. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles across mid and junior seniority levels, pointing toward project execution and capacity-building post-acquisition.
Forsgren provides civil engineering, water resources, environmental compliance, and construction management services to municipal and regional clients. The firm's specialties span wastewater treatment design, drinking water infrastructure, stormwater and flood control, bridge analysis, and transportation projects. Active projects include floodplain permitting, water system design, construction observation, and FEMA compliance work. The recent acquisition by Apex Companies positions Forsgren within a 50-state operating footprint while maintaining its regional consulting model. Pain-point data shows focus on client relationship expansion, funding sourcing, on-time delivery, and improving operational efficiency—typical scaling challenges for regional firms integrating into larger platforms.
Core tools include HEC-RAS (hydraulic modeling), AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, MicroStation, and Microsoft Office—standard for civil design and site analysis work.
