McAdams

McAdams is a multidisciplinary planning, design and engineering firm founded in 1979 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where it began in a 240-square-foot office. The firm now employs more than 580 professionals across 11 offices in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.

The firm's work spans civil/site design, water resources, transportation engineering, planning and urban design, geomatics, and construction administration. It combines technical problem-solving across these disciplines rather than operating them as separate practices.

For employees, the emphasis is on continuous development. McAdams runs an internal training programme of 216 courses covering industry, programme and discipline topics, supplemented by live learning events. The company describes its culture - built on collaboration, creativity and giving back - as foundational to its operation, and states an aim of developing each employee to their potential.

McAdams has been listed among Zweig Group's Best Firms to Work For and has been recognised repeatedly in regional and national best-places-to-work rankings.
