At DOWL, our people are our firm. It's the friendly faces you know and trust who make sure your project and our shared communities receive the care they deserve. Just like you, we live, work, and play in our community - that's why doing it right means so much. From initial planning and investigation through construction administration, DOWL's team knows your end goal isn't the permit or the plan set - you're looking for the final product and so are we. Step out of the confines of your cubicle and get your hands dirty on a wide range of engineering projects with this exciting land surveying position.

As a full-service engineering and related services firm, we offer almost anything you need. Yes, we have surveyors, yes, we have civil engineers, but we know that your specific project type is what you're looking for. Have we done anything like it before? If you don't see what you're looking for in our services portfolio, please give us a call or shoot us an email. Chances are we've done it or can recommend someone who has.

DOWL's team of bridge, structural, and marine project managers, engineers, and technicians offers a wealth of trusted experience in a wide variety of design projects. From big to small, and from private facilities to public infrastructure, we're ready to help with your next project, whether it's a new bridge, water-based port facility, retaining wall, seismic retrofit, or water tank. With thousands of projects under our belt, we're proud to be a regional leader in concrete, steel, and timber bridges.

Before diving into a development project, DOWL's environmental and land use team undertakes a thoughtful and comprehensive pre-development analysis. We consider foundational questions such as: What are the current conditions? What is the best use of the area? Is there a better location? How do we protect it? How do we maximize its potential? These questions and more can be answered through our land use planning, environmental, survey, and related services. The DOWL team includes a talented group of landscape architects and land use planners skilled at identifying land design opportunities and preparing land use plans and permit strategies to help our clients achieve their goals.

Successful projects require efforts extending beyond routine civil engineering. At DOWL, we understand the need for carefully considered, well-designed plans. Our engineers are not only up-to-date on national design standards, they also have the local expertise and experience necessary to provide practical solutions that are effective in the communities where we live, work, and play. DOWL offers a full spectrum of civil engineering services to both public and private clients. We have a strong track record of resolving difficult planning, environmental, and design issues; obtaining funding and permitting; and seeing projects through to successful construction.

Water is the essence of life, and DOWL's water group understands that every successful project must respect its importance to the natural environment and our growing population. Whether it's for drainage and river systems, dams and irrigation, or water supply and wastewater systems, we know H2O. One drop at a time, water seems pleasant, non-threatening. But when you look at places like the Grand Canyon, carved by the power of water, communities around the world ravaged by floods, or waterways polluted by poorly managed run-off, it's evident that managing and protecting our natural waterways is serious business.
