What Our Employees Are Saying

“I love that I get to work on a wide variety of projects – sometimes even on the same day! There are plenty of opportunities to learn, and you can always find someone who can help you learn something new. Everyone works together to succeed.”

– Engineer, Chicago, IL

“Above all else, with all the multiple offices and employees we have here at Collins, I love that we are one in everything we do and achieve. I could not have made a better decision than when I decided to work for Collins. They have made me feel as a member of a fantastic team.”

– Administrative Assistant

“I enjoy the ever-changing and diverse work environment which we encounter with the type of work we do. One week you could be working on a bridge design/rating project and the next you could be inspecting a bridge hanging 60 feet over the water. This helps keep your work life interesting to say the least.”
