R+C has maintained its position as a top structural and geotechnical engineering firm through a continuous dedication to engineering excellence and the advancement of our field. On our projects, we combine the latest innovations in materials, analysis, and methodologies with our practical knowledge of constructibility concerns, permitting processes, and more to deliver elegant engineering solutions that preserve the building’s intended architectural expression while ensuring occupant safety and dependable project outcomes.
Ultimately, a project’s success rests on the successful collaboration of all disciplines. We deeply value the trusted relationships we have built with our clients and project partners and seek to cultivate a culture of teamwork on each project we’re a part of. This mindset creates synergies across disciplines that allow us to think creatively, explore out-of-the-box solutions to project challenges, and unlock new possibilities for our projects.
Providing structural, building systems, and geotechnical engineering under one roof, we bring a distinctively multi-disciplinary perspective. We have seen first-hand the value that each discipline can contribute to a project (above and beyond what is expected), as well as the unanticipated impacts different design decisions can have across other disciplines. This has given us a profound appreciation of the importance of approaching each project and challenge holistically and harnessing the expertise of everyone involved.
We are always looking for talented people to join our team at all levels.
