HMB Professional Engineers is a 51–200-person civil engineering and environmental planning firm headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky, with five offices across Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Alabama. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward transportation and engineering roles with accelerating velocity — 62 open positions, nearly half posted in the last 30 days — suggesting aggressive regional growth. The tech stack (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, OpenRoads Designer, GIS, Trimble, Leica) reflects classic infrastructure-design workflows; the adoption of OpenRoads Designer alongside documented pain points in feasibility studies and cost-benefit analysis signals investment in design automation and data-driven project planning.
