About

We are RICK

RICK (formerly referred to as Rick Engineering Company) started as a family-owned engineering, planning, and design firm more than 65 years ago. Though we have grown our employee base and expanded geographically, we have proudly maintained our close-knit, people-oriented company culture. Our in-house teams, staffed by industry-leading experts in their respective fields, work seamlessly together to offer our clients comprehensive services they can trust.

We recently launched a brand refresh, with a new look and new visions for the future. Learn more about our new directions and new brand in this launch video featuring some of our leaders:
