Infrastructure and building design services across North America
Huitt-Zollars is a 50-year-old, employee-owned design and engineering firm focused on infrastructure, land development, and public works. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward specialized CAD and hydraulic modeling tools (Revit, AutoCAD Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, WaterCAD, ProjectWise) with enterprise finance systems (Deltek suite), indicating a project-driven, compliance-heavy operation. The hiring composition—62 engineering roles against 12 design roles—reflects an engineering-led firm scaling delivery capacity for large public works contracts, though internal pain points around budget tracking and project profitability suggest operational friction in project management and resource allocation.
