Otak Tech Stack

Infrastructure and urban design firm serving public agencies and developers

Design Services Portland, Oregon 201–500 employees Founded 1981 Public Company

Otak is a 40+ year-old multidisciplinary design and engineering firm operating across urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture, and transportation. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward civil infrastructure tools (Primavera P6, AutoCAD Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, SWMM, ArcGIS) — revealing an organization built around CAD-native workflows and hydraulic/hydrologic modeling rather than software platforms. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (6 roles) and construction management (4 roles), with senior-level openings dominating the mix, signaling both growth and a need to backfill expertise in complex delivery.
