Behind All the Hard Work

We genuinely care for each other in all we do and while giving it our all. Our offices are full of really sharp, down-to-earth people who love a good challenge—and a good time.

Opportunity to Go Around

The future of each team member matters as much, if not more, than the experiences that led them here. We empower employees to own their careers, supporting them by providing the framework for ongoing growth to realize their fullest potential.

Striking the Balance of Work & Home

Thriving, for many employees, means success both in and outside the office. We offer flexible working schedules to accommodate the diverse needs and external commitments of our employees.

We'll Cheers to That

Our successes and wins are only possible through the total contributions of our people. Whether a proverbial gold star, a new family addition or a lofty award, we honor both personal and professional achievements by celebrating one another.

Invested in Our Community

To support causes near and dear to employees, we use our scale and influence for community good. Through our Gresham Smith Individual Volunteer Empowerment (GIVE) committee, we contribute, sponsor, offer in-kind services and volunteer time to civic and community agencies.

Genuine Interest in the Whole You

At Gresham Smith, we prioritize quality—quality work, quality people and quality of life. That’s why our programs and offerings are designed for personal health, well-being and financial stability for employees and their families.

Testimonials

“While at Gresham Smith, I’ve had the opportunity to be involved with the local IIDA chapter and also have been able to serve as a preceptor in the design program at a local university. Volunteering at the university gives me the opportunity to keep abreast of the technology and methods being introduced in the academic arena. At the same time, I’m able to impart the practical knowledge that I’ve gained with Gresham Smith. Gresham Smith has not only encouraged my participation, but has also been extremely accommodating.”

Dexter Carty, IIDA, NCIDQ, Charlotte

“From the time that I started with Gresham Smith, I got to work on a variety of different projects and was involved with developing solutions to help our clients. I often get to visit with the clients before and after a project, and I can see the impact that our work has on our client’s efforts to become more sustainable. Each project presents different and exciting challenges, making my work very fulfilling.”

Devon E. Seal, P.E., ENV SP, Environmental Engineer, Gresham Smith

“What originally attracted me to Gresham Smith, and has continued over the past 11 years, is the company’s focus on developing its staff and embracing change. Change is scary for most folks and Gresham Smith has found a balance of being a stable business while encouraging its staff to find new ways to improve procedures, processes and functions. Gresham Smith has supported and challenged me in my career growth, and I am a stronger professional and contributor due to this positive environment.”

Kent Black, P.E., Executive Vice President of Transportation, Atlanta

“I interned at Gresham Smith for three summers prior to joining the firm. I’m a Transportation engineer now, but as an intern I worked with our surveyors, the civil engineers in our Land Planning market and the field inspectors in our Water + Environment market. The variety of experiences I was given are why I’m passionate about giving interns a well-rounded experience and exposing them to jobsites.”

Cody G. Crews, P.E., ENV SP, Nashville
