A Civil Engineering Firm That Gives Back
At Civiltech, we understand that our ultimate clients are the communities affected by our projects. We strive to ensure that our work has a positive impact. We work to build client trust, and we look for opportunities to volunteer and give back.

Supporting Our Employees’ Passions
We recognize that everyone finds fulfillment and motivation in different places. We believe our staff should follow their calling and encourage the pursuit of their goals.
To support our team’s individual passions, Civiltech has instituted a Volunteer Time Off policy. We provide time for our employees to volunteer in community service projects that are important to them.
Supporting our employees in their dedication to service is another important part of who we are.
“Giving back to the community is important to me. Civiltech’s Volunteer Time Off benefit provides an opportunity to do so by taking a day off to build houses at Habitat for Humanity.”

Dedicated to Environmental Sustainability
We understand that our projects will impact the environment and communities in which they’re built for a very long time.
We are dedicated to developing Context Sensitive Solutions and to ensuring balance between the built and natural environments. Our environmental studies include:
- Drainage
- Water retention
- Noise abatement
- Context sensitive solutions
- Habitat disruption
Every project has to balance the natural and built environment.
Community Involvement in Every Project
We know the finished project provides positive outcomes and community enhancements . . . but the planning process and construction activities can create challenges for residents and stakeholders.
At Civiltech, we are dedicated to creative outreach and open communication with all stakeholders. That means:
- Community outreach and meeting participation
- Availability for questions
- Presentations about the project, its intended outcomes, and its impacts
- Agency communication support
We strive to be inclusive in the engagement process, recognizing our accountability to the communities and stakeholders affected by our projects.
