Mid-Atlantic civil engineering firm with planning, surveying, and environmental services
Soltesz is a 45-year-old civil engineering firm anchored in Bentley's ecosystem (MicroStation, ProjectWise, CONNECT) with light Python and scripting capability for workflow automation. Active projects around office expansion and Bentley tool integration suggest the firm is modernizing its tech environment rather than adopting new platforms — a defensive posture consistent with their stated pain around scaling management and maintaining profitability in a niche market. Senior-heavy hiring (6 of 8 open roles) indicates they're adding experienced staff rather than building junior pipelines, typical of project-driven service firms.
Soltesz provides civil engineering, planning, surveying, environmental sciences, and related services to clients across the Mid-Atlantic region. The firm operates across site engineering, GIS, landscape architecture, stormwater management, permitting, and due diligence phases. With 51–200 employees based in Rockville, Maryland, Soltesz serves mid-market and institutional clients navigating complex permitting and design workflows. Revenue depends on billable utilization and client project velocity; the firm's current focus on Bentley tool optimization and office infrastructure suggests an inward-facing investment cycle while managing growth.
MicroStation, AutoCAD, and Bentley ProjectWise form the core CAD and project-management layer. The firm also uses Excel, Python, and VBA for custom workflows and data processing.
