Water and wastewater infrastructure engineering firm serving Southwest markets
Wilson Engineers is a 200+ person civil engineering firm built around water, wastewater, and reclaimed water infrastructure—a niche with high technical barriers and long sales cycles. The tech stack is dominated by specialized hydraulic modeling (HEC-RAS, WaterCAD, SewerGEMS, SWMM) and CAD tools (AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, Revit), paired with project management systems (Oracle Primavera P6, Deltek). The hiring velocity is steady across engineering roles, with documented pain points around proposal efficiency and write-offs suggesting operational friction in the bid-to-delivery cycle.
