Multi-discipline A/E/C firm designing infrastructure, aviation, and energy systems
Pond is a 501–1,000-person engineering, architecture, and planning firm founded in 1965, now scaling aggressively across 159 open roles—67 posted in the last 30 days. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward senior engineers (98 of 127 engineering roles), signaling either deep technical project complexity or a push to backfill experienced staff; internal pain points flag staffing gaps and resource allocation friction across distributed offices. Tech stack is CAD-native (Revit, AutoCAD, BIM, Civil 3D, Navisworks, ETAP), now adopting RAG—a rare move for AEC firms, likely targeting automation of design review or compliance document processing.
Pond provides integrated engineering, architecture, planning, and construction management services to public and private sector clients. Core verticals include infrastructure (12kV–500kV substation design, grid modernization), aviation (fueling systems for DOD and commercial clients), energy (transmission design, system hardening), and industrial/hazmat (pipeline integrity, FERC permitting). Staff is distributed across U.S. offices and international locations (Colombia, India, Peru). Active project list reflects complex regulatory environments (FERC compliance, electrical design standards) and mission-critical work in energy and defense.
Primary tools are Revit, AutoCAD, BIM, Civil 3D, Navisworks, MicroStation, RISA 3D, and ETAP for electrical systems design. Bluebeam is used for document markup and collaboration.
Primary verticals: infrastructure (substations, grid modernization), aviation (fueling systems), energy (transmission, system hardening), transportation, defense, and oil & gas. LEED-certified and FERC-compliant work.
