Architecture and engineering firm specializing in sustainable infrastructure and climate solutions
LHB is a multidisciplinary design and engineering firm built around CAD-heavy workflows (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam) serving infrastructure, energy, and built environment sectors. Active project work spans oil & gas, renewable energy, industrial electrical systems, and climate action planning—a portfolio mix that reflects both legacy energy clients and newer climate-solutions work. Hiring is concentrated in engineering roles across senior and mid-level positions, with no major tech-stack shifts underway, suggesting a firm optimizing delivery within established CAD + analysis tools rather than pursuing platform modernization.
