Civil engineering and environmental consulting for infrastructure and power sectors
GAI Consultants is a 500+ person engineering firm built around traditional CAD/BIM tooling (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, ProjectWise) and now adopting OpenRoads Designer—a shift toward parametric, data-driven roadway design. The hiring profile is heavily weighted to engineering (304 roles), with accelerating velocity across senior and junior levels, suggesting capacity expansion in a backlog-constrained business. Pain points cluster around scope creep, budget management, and business development—typical friction for design firms managing complex regulatory and contractual constraints.
Notable leadership hires: Director Engineering, Engineering Director, Ecological Field Lead, Assistant Engineering Director, Deputy Engineering Director
