Multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental consulting firm
RETTEW operates a 200+ person consulting practice spanning civil, environmental, surveying, and planning disciplines across ~600 service offerings. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward senior engineers (41 of 79 open roles), with accelerating velocity focused on capacity adds rather than new specialties — a pattern consistent with scaling delivery in established practices. Stack emphasis (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, GIS, HydroCAD, ProjectWise) reflects mature infrastructure design workflows; absence of adopting/replacing signals low technical debt and stable tooling mature for the firm's project types.
