Civil engineering and GIS services firm across infrastructure, water, and land development
Timmons Group operates a design-heavy engineering practice built on Autodesk (Civil 3D, BIM 360, Revit) and Bentley CAD tooling, with heavy reliance on GIS (ArcGIS, Global Mapper) and specialized hydrology/transportation modeling (HEC-RAS, VISSIM, SWMM). The hiring profile is almost entirely engineering-focused (292 of 320 active roles), skewed toward senior and mid-level practitioners — a pattern consistent with project-driven delivery rather than product scaling. Current workload spans industrial distribution, wind/solar land development, and data center civil work, while internal friction centers on multi-project resource allocation and permit workflows.
Notable leadership hires: Survey Crew Chief, Survey Chief, Cultural Resources Team Lead
Timmons Group is a privately held engineering and design firm headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, with regional offices across the United States. The company serves public and private clients across civil engineering, structural engineering, environmental remediation, GIS and geospatial technology, landscape architecture, and surveying — with particular depth in water/wastewater systems, transportation planning, stormwater management, and infrastructure asset management. Founded in 1953, the firm has maintained recognition as one of the top 500 design firms in the country. The organization operates on a project-delivery model, managing concurrent engagements across site planning, land surveys (ALTA/NSPS, topographical, boundary), and large-scale infrastructure development including utility-scale renewable energy projects.
Primary stack includes AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, Autodesk BIM 360, MicroStation, Bentley OpenRoads, and ArcGIS for modeling and design. Specialized tools include HEC-RAS for hydrology, VISSIM for traffic, and SWMM for stormwater simulation.
Current project portfolio includes industrial distribution facilities, topographical and boundary surveys, public infrastructure and land development, utility-scale wind and solar farms, data center civil engineering, and stormwater/drainage design.
