Careers
Two young engineers, just out of college, sit down at a desk to map out their future. They use modern tools to help them find the best location and the hottest niche for launching a new consulting firm.
It happens today, using the Internet, geographic information systems, database mining techniques and more. But these two engineers — Clinton Burns and Robert McDonnell — did it in 1898, with a compass and a map.
Today, Burns & McDonnell, the company they founded, continues in that entrepreneurial tradition. Our projects combine technical expertise and unique approaches to solve problems for our clients in communities and industries worldwide. The diversity of our work creates opportunities for individuals with varied experience in many technical and non-technical areas.
At Burns & McDonnell, our people aren't just employees — they are employee-owners. As a 100 percent employee-owned firm, individuals are rewarded for their performance and share in the overall success of the company. It's our people who make the company successful and a great place to work. For that, we are committed to providing them with the best career possible.
