RK&K is a 1,850-person civil engineering and construction management firm built around transportation, water, and site development projects. The tech stack is domain-native (Civil 3D, MicroStation, HEC-RAS, WaterCAD, Primavera P6) with no cloud data platforms or modern DevOps tooling—typical for firms whose delivery is on-site and whose intellectual property lives in CAD and project-management software. Hiring is decelerating (160 roles posted in last 30 days, down from higher baseline), skewed heavily toward senior engineers and construction staff, suggesting a mature project portfolio rather than growth into new service lines.
