Building on History Throughout Northern Minnesota
Burns & McDonnell has a long-standing history in the Twin Ports, the Iron Range and the Arrowhead Region. More than 100 years ago, our design professionals developed municipal water infrastructure solutions in the cities of Virginia and Hibbing as those mining communities were beginning to boom. Later, in the 1920s, engineers who would become part of our Transportation Group helped to convert the original steel lattice bridge in Canal Park from its former trolley configuration to today’s iconic Aerial Lift Bridge.
We continue to support important key regional clients such as Minnesota Power, Cenovus Energy, the City of Duluth, the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, ALLETE Clean Energy, Western Lake Superior Sanitary District, Enbridge Energy, Jeff Foster Trucking and the Minnesota Air National Guard's 148th Fighter Wing.
With our office in the heart of downtown Duluth, the local team has grown rapidly and is hiring across numerous business lines. The team provides engineering, design, environmental, construction and program management, and business analytics services to the following industries:
