Civil engineering and land planning services for Southeast municipalities and developers
McGill Associates is a 51–200-person civil engineering firm anchored in water and wastewater infrastructure design, serving public and private clients across the Southeast. The tech stack—AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, HEC-RAS, SWMM—reflects a traditional engineering consulting operation focused on site planning, treatment facilities, and stormwater modeling. Hiring is engineering-heavy (26 of 30 active roles) with mid and senior staff dominating the mix, and a water/wastewater backlog suggests strong pipeline demand outpacing current delivery capacity.
