Engineering, architecture, and municipal planning for infrastructure and community development
MRB Group is a 95-year-old engineering and architecture firm anchored in Rochester, New York, serving municipal and institutional clients. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward design and CAD tools—AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, SketchUp—with no active adoption or migration signals, indicating a stable, tools-mature operation. Hiring is engineering-led (22 of 30 open roles), skewed toward senior and mid-level staff, though velocity is slowing; the stated pain of 'growing engineering staff' paired with decelerating hiring suggests a transition from rapid scaling to selective hiring.
MRB Group designs and delivers infrastructure, buildings, and community plans for municipal, educational, and institutional clients across the United States. The firm operates across water and wastewater engineering, site development, architecture, GIS and municipal planning, construction administration, and economic development consulting. Active projects span street and drainage systems, comprehensive municipal plans, zoning updates, waterfront revitalization, and higher education facilities. Client relationships are long-term; the firm emphasizes trust and alignment with community vision over transactional engagement.
AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, ArcGIS, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, full suite) form the core stack. Lumion is also in use.
