Multidisciplinary engineering and surveying firm across civil, mechanical, electrical, and water infrastructure
Horner & Shifrin is a 90+-year-old, employee-owned engineering services firm anchored in CAD and hydraulic modeling (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, HEC-RAS, EPA-SWMM) with a senior-heavy engineering bench. Pain-point clustering around project profitability, invoicing, and resource allocation suggests the firm is scaling project delivery faster than internal operations — a common friction point for services firms transitioning from founder-led to distributed management.
Horner & Shifrin provides full-cycle engineering services across civil infrastructure, water/wastewater systems, transportation, healthcare facilities, and industrial development. The firm operates as a 100% employee-owned company with 200+ staff distributed across nine offices in Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas, serving municipal, utility, and commercial clients throughout the Midwest. Service lines span structural, electrical, mechanical, surveying, and construction engineering, with specialized expertise in water treatment, flood protection, GIS systems, and energy audits. The hiring profile is heavily weighted toward senior engineers, indicating a focus on complex project leadership and client-facing delivery.
