Foth is a 750+ person engineering consulting firm built on three business lines: environmental solutions, infrastructure, and manufacturing optimization. The stack is heavily weighted toward geospatial and CAD tools (AutoCAD, Revit, ArcGIS, LIDAR, GPS, Trimble) — revealing a design-led, field-intensive operation rather than a software or services platform. Current hiring skews heavily engineering (173 roles) with seniority concentrated at senior and lead levels, signaling execution on large, complex projects rather than scaling a new practice.
Foth delivers science and engineering services to infrastructure, environmental remediation, and manufacturing clients, operating from 31 locations across the United States and internationally. Founded in 1938, the firm is organized into three business units: Environment Solutions (handling environmental permitting, remediation, and regulatory work), Infrastructure Solutions (coastal protection, waterfront engineering, water systems design), and Production Solutions (manufacturing optimization and custom machinery). Current project focus spans wastewater treatment, solid waste permitting, marine infrastructure, shoreline stabilization, and mining environmental compliance. The firm operates as a traditional consulting model — embedded with clients on capital projects, design-build work, and long-cycle regulatory programs.
