Global consulting and engineering for water, environment, and infrastructure
Tetra Tech operates at massive scale—25,000 employees across 25+ countries executing municipal infrastructure, water treatment, and environmental remediation projects. The tech stack reveals a traditional engineering services firm: CAD-heavy (Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation), GIS-dependent (ArcGIS), and modeled on specialized simulation tools (HEC-RAS, SWMM, ANSYS). Active adoption of Revit and Procore signals a shift toward Building Information Modeling and cloud-based project coordination, likely driven by client demands for digital deliverables and cost control amid persistent budget/schedule constraints.
Notable leadership hires: PFAS Lead, Electrical Lead Engineer, Evaluation & Research Lead, Team Lead, Survey Crew Chief
Tetra Tech is a publicly traded consulting and engineering services firm headquartered in Pasadena, California, employing over 25,000 professionals worldwide. The company focuses on water-cycle management, environmental protection and restoration, and sustainable infrastructure design. Work spans municipal water and wastewater systems, disaster recovery documentation (FEMA), contaminated-site remediation, and new-build/refurbishment projects valued in the hundreds of millions. Engineering and construction staff dominate the payroll, with seniority distributed across senior and mid-level practitioners—reflecting a project-delivery model where senior expertise leads proposals and designs, and mid-level execution manages on-site work.
Tetra Tech deploys Autodesk Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, and ArcGIS for design and spatial analysis. Simulation work uses ANSYS, HEC-RAS, and SWMM for hydraulic and hydrologic modeling. Project controls rely on Oracle Primavera and Microsoft Project.
