>>> How We Do It

At Olsson Associates, we believe in the power of collaboration.

Here’s our strategy: We listen to our clients and project stakeholders. We hire the best people and trust them to perform at top levels. We’ve created an environment where ideas flourish.

We know that all of this will result in amazing projects that more than satisfy our clients, keep our employees challenged and happy, and create better communities for all of us.

>>> What Others Say

Don’t take our word for it. The true test of any business enterprise is measured by the clients it keeps. In 2006, more than 90 percent of our fees were generated from existing clients while our company enjoyed growth in virtually all of our markets and practice groups.

We are ranked No. 193 on Engineering News-Record’s 2006 list of Top 500 Design Firms. We are ranked No. 28 overall on Civil Engineering Magazine’s Best Place to Work list, and No. 8 among firms with 500-plus employees.

Olsson won awards in 2006 and 2007 for human resources management, as well as for several of our engineering projects, including a sports facility, a dam, a wetlands project, and a bridge.
