Civil engineering and infrastructure design across western US markets
Horrocks is a 50-year-old civil engineering firm with 501–1,000 employees operating across transportation, structures, water resources, and utilities. The tech stack—Bentley (MicroStation, OpenRoads, ProjectWise), Autodesk (Civil 3D), and hydraulic modeling tools (WaterCAD, HEC-RAS, SWMM)—reflects a traditional CAD-centric workflow. Aggressive hiring (173 roles in 30 days, skewed heavily toward senior engineers) paired with pain points around project deadline management, GIS infrastructure, and staff deployment suggests Horrocks is scaling delivery capacity while addressing internal process friction.
Notable leadership hires: Structures Lead, Drainage Lead, Transportation Project Director, MOT Lead, Market Lead
