About Us

Beyond Engineering — Where Technology Meets Infrastructure

NV5 is a leading provider of tech-enabled engineering, testing, inspection, and consulting solutions for the built environment. With 5,000+ consulting engineers, inspectors, and analysts operating across 100+ offices in 11 countries, we help public and private sector clients plan, design, build, test, certify, and operate infrastructure assets that improve the communities where we live and work. We specialize in engineering design, asset management, and geospatial data analytics to support infrastructure resilience and building systems performance throughout the entire asset lifecycle. As the nexus of engineering and technology, we use innovation to deliver precise and reliable solutions to global challenges — from electrical distribution and transportation networks to data center management, smart building systems, and water and natural resources.

Who we are

5,000 Builders, Problem Solvers, and Community Champions

We are a team of talented professionals, engineers, and consultants who are builders, problem solvers, and champions for both our communities and clients. Our mission is to empower every employee who strives to make a lasting, positive impact for the future of our communities. At NV5, you'll work with a diverse and talented group of individuals committed to advancing infrastructure, protecting natural resources, and improving quality of life — one project at a time. We encourage personal growth, collaboration, and the pursuit of meaningful work. Ultimately, everything we do at NV5 is aimed at improving the quality of life for our respective communities.

What we do

Tech-Enabled Solutions Across the Entire Asset Lifecycle

NV5 employs technology and tech-enabled solutions to improve the efficiency, resilience, and capacity of electrical distribution, transportation and water infrastructure, data center management and storage, building and facility systems, and water and natural resources. Our three pillars — Infrastructure Support Services, Buildings & Technology, and Geospatial — cover everything from utility undergrounding, roadway and bridge design, environmental services, and water management, to MEP engineering, commissioning, data centers, clean energy, and geospatial data analytics. We also develop and license proprietary software platforms including ENVI, INSITE, IDL, Helios, and Jagwire, empowering clients with actionable intelligence from complex geospatial and imagery data.

Our Purpose

Anticipating Tomorrow's Infrastructure Needs — Today

Our mission is to become the leader in our industry in each of our market segments and key geographical areas. We anticipate our clients' future needs and provide those services in the most professional and efficient manner. We utilize employees who maintain the highest level of integrity and expertise through education and personal development — so that the infrastructure we design, build, and manage will stand the test of time and improve the communities that depend on it.

Our Values

The Principles That Power Our Work

Clients must succeed for us to succeed. People are our strength and our future. Safety is our focus and responsibility. Collaboration leads to successful projects. Diversity drives innovation. Innovative thought brings about better solutions. Accountability is the platform for our actions. Sustainability is our commitment to future generations.

With more than 200 years of combined management experience, 5,000+ technical innovators, and 100+ offices across 11 countries, we bring depth and reach that few firms can match. Our proprietary, tech-enabled methodologies — like our underground utility design approach that reduces cost and duration by up to 40% — set us apart. We don't just deliver engineering services; we leverage data, analytics, and purpose-built software to give clients actionable intelligence, resilient outcomes, and measurable efficiency gains throughout the asset lifecycle.

Sustainability

Resilience at the Core of Everything We Build

At NV5, sustainability is at the heart of our mission as a responsible corporate citizen. We are committed to delivering lasting value to our clients, empowering our employees, and making our communities more resilient. Our expert teams across Buildings & Technology, Infrastructure Services, and Geospatial help communities build smarter, reduce energy and water use, minimize waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, adopt renewable energy, mitigate risks, and plan for grid outages. We are a founding contributor to the Envision Framework for Sustainable Infrastructure, maintain LEED, WELL, Fitwel, Envision, Reli, Net Zero and Sustainability Master Planning accreditations, and publish annual ESG reports tracking clear goals and progress. NV5 also complies with California SB 261 climate-related financial risk disclosure requirements.

Community & Impact

Engineering Stronger Communities

NV5 has a strong focus on undertaking projects that benefit local communities. Since 2018, the company has made over 133 charitable contributions and sponsored 160 associations, including the American Diabetes Association, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and the American Cancer Society. We have pledged $275,000 in scholarships to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and our engineers work on projects such as replacing a coal gasification plant in New York with a sustainable park — tangible improvements to the neighborhoods where our employees and clients live and work.

Inclusion & Diversity

Diversity Drives Innovation at NV5

Diversity, inclusion, and integrity are fundamental to NV5's values. In 2020, NV5 appointed a Chief Diversity Officer to lead company-wide inclusion and diversity initiatives. We have established Employee Resource Groups across the firm — led by executives — covering support, community outreach, and working groups for women, veterans, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minority groups. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we believe that growing diversity in the engineering profession directly enhances project outcomes and advances the industry as a whole.
