Multidisciplinary civil engineering and environmental consulting firm
French & Parrello Associates is a 201–500-person civil engineering and environmental consulting firm founded in 1974, headquartered in Wall, New Jersey. The tech stack is deeply rooted in traditional CAD and design tools (AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, BIM, GIS, ArcGIS) with structural analysis depth (STAAD, SAP2000, ETABS), reflecting a firm built on project delivery rather than software innovation. Hiring is engineering-heavy (49 of 60 active roles) and skews senior, signaling either backlog-driven growth or margin-focused expansion; the pain-point list emphasizes operational friction (proposal prep, cost estimating, scheduling, budget adherence) rather than capability gaps, suggesting process bottlenecks in delivery and business development.
FPA provides civil engineering, environmental consulting, and design services across transportation, infrastructure, geotechnical, landscape, and energy sectors. The firm operates as a multidisciplinary practice, combining specialized expertise in site investigation, remedial assessments, permitting, construction administration, and project delivery. Active project work spans highway reconstruction, intersection improvements, groundwater assessment, and regulatory compliance (NJDEP). The firm serves mid-market and institutional clients at the scale of a 200+ person regional/national engineering firm.
FPA's core stack includes AutoCAD, Revit, AutoCAD Civil 3D, BIM, MicroStation, GIS, ArcGIS, SketchUp, and structural tools (STAAD Pro, SAP2000, ETABS). Project management relies on Microsoft Project and Deltek Vantage for resource and financial tracking.
Active work includes highway reconstruction and safety, intersection improvements, pedestrian trail design, civil and site projects, site remedial investigation workplans, hydrogeological assessments, and NJDEP regulatory reporting.
