Civil engineering and infrastructure design firm serving the Midwest and Southwest
Kirkham Michael is a 80-person civil engineering firm headquartered in Omaha with offices across Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward Bentley (MicroStation, OpenRoads, OpenBridge) and Autodesk (Civil 3D, AutoCAD) — standard CAD/modeling tools for infrastructure design. Hiring is accelerating with 20 roles posted in the last 30 days, concentrated in engineering (36 open positions across senior, mid, and junior levels), signaling growth in design capacity rather than tooling or process innovation.
Kirkham Michael provides planning, design, and construction administration services for transportation, airport, bridge, and municipal infrastructure projects across the Midwest and Southwest. Founded in 1946 as a two-person firm, the company has evolved into an employee-owned practice with roughly 80 engineering professionals. Core service areas include roadway and drainage design, traffic engineering, surveying, and environmental studies under NEPA. Current project focus spans roadway and drainage improvements, with stated challenges around expanding municipal engineering capacity and addressing traffic safety and congestion.
Primarily Bentley MicroStation, OpenRoads, and OpenBridge; also Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD. HEC-RAS and VISSIM support hydraulic and traffic modeling.
Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, with additional offices in Iowa and Kansas.
