Civil engineering and infrastructure design firm serving water, transportation, and municipal markets
HR Green is a 110-year-old civil engineering firm operating across water, transportation, broadband, and municipal infrastructure—with an engineering-dominant workforce (48 of 56 active hires are engineers). The tech stack is firmly rooted in domain-specific CAD and GIS tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, MicroStation, HEC-RAS, TUFLOW), typical of infrastructure design practices. Current project focus clusters around water systems (wastewater treatment, drinking water plants, distribution networks) and roadway work, while pain points center on delivery velocity, construction cost control, and managing regulatory complexity—suggesting the firm is scaling project delivery capacity rather than chasing technology disruption.
HR Green provides engineering design, planning, and project management services for municipal, water, transportation, and broadband infrastructure across the United States. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the firm operates with approximately 500–1,000 employees and serves clients in wastewater treatment, drinking water systems, roadway improvements, land development, and utility infrastructure. The company manages full lifecycle project delivery—from planning and environmental assessment through design and construction support—using industry-standard CAD, GIS, and hydraulic modeling tools. A significant portion of their workload involves upgrading aging water and wastewater systems, navigating regulatory compliance, and optimizing construction timelines and costs.
