Design engineering and program management for power, transportation, and water infrastructure
Ulteig is a 1,000+ person design and engineering firm built around civil infrastructure—power systems, transmission, renewables, transportation, and water. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward domain-specific tools (AutoCAD, Bentley OpenRoads/OpenBridge, ETAP, SCADA, ArcGIS, PLC/HMI platforms) rather than general enterprise software, reflecting deep specialization in engineering design and field operations. Hiring is dominated by senior engineers and leads (72 of 134 open roles) across a distributed footprint (US, Canada, Costa Rica), signaling growth in delivery capacity for complex, multi-disciplinary projects.
Notable leadership hires: Lead Engineer, Transmission Planning Lead, Renewables Technical Lead
Ulteig delivers design engineering, program management, and field services for infrastructure critical to power, renewable energy, transportation, and water systems across public and private clients. Founded in 1944 and employee-owned, the firm operates as a multi-disciplinary engineering services company with particular depth in electrical substations, transmission planning, utility-scale battery storage, and wind projects. The active project list shows concurrent work on substation design and integration, transmission studies, renewable automation, and infrastructure compliance—many of which require coordination across wetland delineation, cultural resource protection, and DOT/safety regulations. Recurring pain points center on schedule and budget execution within complex, regulated environments.
Primarily domain-specific engineering tools: AutoCAD, Bentley OpenRoads/OpenBridge Designer, ETAP, ArcGIS, MicroStation, SCADA, PLC/HMI platforms (Allen-Bradley, Ignition, Schneider Electric), and Mathcad. Office tools include Dynamics 365, ProjectWise, and Microsoft 365.
Power, transmission & distribution, renewables (wind, utility-scale battery storage), transportation, water/wastewater, and environmental planning. Active projects include substation design, transmission planning studies, renewable automation, and high-voltage transmission line design.
