Civil engineering and design firm serving transportation, water, and infrastructure projects
Whitman, Requardt and Associates operates a 500+ person engineering and design practice anchored in civil infrastructure—highways, water treatment, stormwater systems, rail. The tech stack (MicroStation, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, GIS, Revit) reflects a traditional engineering-heavy org weighted toward design and construction services. Active hiring of 104 roles in the last 30 days, concentrated in engineering and construction, is offset by decelerating velocity; pain-point data shows staffing friction—recruiting inspectors and CEI (construction engineering and inspection) labor is competing with project expansion into Florida and Texas.

Founded in 1915, WRA is a partnership-owned civil and architectural engineering firm headquartered in Baltimore. The practice spans engineering design, architecture, environmental planning, and construction management across water/wastewater, transportation, buildings, and civil development. Current project load includes stormwater management, highway and roadway design, water-sewer infrastructure, and rail projects. The firm operates at scale—500+ employees across multiple service lines—and is actively expanding CEI services and geographic footprint into new states, though capacity constraints in inspection and field staffing are a near-term constraint.
Primary tools: MicroStation, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, GIS, HEC-RAS, HydroCAD, VISSIM, STAAD, and Microsoft Office suite. Design and visualization: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. Project management: Microsoft Project.
Active projects include stormwater management systems, highway and roadway design, water-wastewater treatment plants, rail design (CSXT), transportation corridors, and construction engineering and inspection services across multiple states.
