Multi-disciplinary engineering consulting across civil, structural, and transportation design
raSmith is a regional engineering consulting firm operating six offices across Wisconsin, Illinois, and California, anchored by a mature CAD/GIS tech stack (AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, ArcGIS, Trimble, LiDAR). The hiring mix skews heavily engineering (65 of 72 active roles), with most demand at senior and mid-level—typical of a services firm scaling delivery capacity rather than building platform products. Current project focus spans highway automation, roadway and structural design, and site development, while pain points center on business development and expanding into Illinois and Indiana markets.
