Multi-discipline A/E/C firm serving public and private infrastructure clients nationally
Larson Design Group is a 500+ person architecture and engineering firm anchored in CAD-native workflows (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, MicroStation) with heavy reliance on geospatial tooling (ArcGIS, GPS) — a tech stack that reflects deep domain lock-in in infrastructure design. Hiring is engineering-dominated (143 of 161 open roles) with skew toward senior and principal-level talent, suggesting they are scaling delivery capacity on high-complexity projects rather than building new capabilities. Pain points cluster around federal compliance, budget management, and proposal velocity — operational friction points typical of firms managing complex municipal and state transportation work.
