Civil engineering and infrastructure consulting across transportation, water, and public safety
Michael Baker International operates a 5,100-person engineering and consulting firm focused on infrastructure design, construction management, and public safety technology. The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward senior engineers and mid-career professionals—not junior talent—with the largest department gaps in construction and design relative to total headcount, suggesting execution and delivery capacity is the limiting factor on complex projects.
Notable leadership hires: Transportation and Bridge Lead, Lead Bridge Engineer, Bridge Practice Lead, Bridge Design Lead, Survey Party Chief
