Multi-disciplinary engineering consulting for water, energy, and infrastructure
GEI Consultants is a 1,500+ person engineering firm headquartered in Woburn, MA with 60+ North America offices, operating across water resources, energy, buildings, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. The tech stack reveals a classical CAD/simulation-heavy engineering practice (SAP2000, ANSYS, Revit, Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, WaterCAD) paired with emerging data infrastructure (adopting SharePoint, hiring for data platform architecture). Hiring velocity is decelerating while engineering roles remain dominant—typical for a mature, project-delivery-led business navigating the tension between expanding practice scope and backlog stability.
Notable leadership hires: Materials Testing Inspection Lead, AI Solutions Lead
