Burns & McDonnell, a Kansas City, Mo.-based engineering, architecture, construction, environmental and consulting firm, is expanding operations in six states, including Connecticut.
After acquiring a dozen major new projects in the Northeast within the past three years, the firm is expanding at 108 Leigus Road in Wallingford, as well as in Maine, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The employee-owned global consultant first opened its doors in the Northeast in 2007 and has since grown 700 percent in the region.
“With the complex infrastructure challenges our clients and communities face, there is a great need for quick, comprehensive engineering, architecture and construction solutions,” says Brett Williams, president and general manager of the New England office. “We’re focused on immersing ourselves within our communities and expanding our team so we can bring even more sustainable solutions to the table.”
Backed by an international team of more than 5,300, the Northeastern offices work together to design and build the infrastructure that powers the region — with a focus on electric and gas utilities — military installations, commercial, aviation and industrial facilities. The office has successfully managed approximately $12 billion in projects with investor-owned utility and commercial aviation clients.
