Specialty construction across marine, concrete, and heavy civil infrastructure
Orion operates a multi-disciplinary construction business spanning marine facilities, concrete work, and engineering across North America and the Caribbean. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward project delivery and design tools (SAP, AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, Navisworks, Microsoft Project) with no cloud migration or analytics platforms in active use—typical of field-driven construction but a gap for companies scaling portfolio-level resource planning. Accelerating hiring (141 roles in 30 days) is concentrated in construction and engineering, with leadership openings for Survey Party Chief and Chief Engineer, signaling growth in project volume and field capacity.
Notable leadership hires: Survey Party Chief, Chief Engineer, Party Chief
