What Stanley Consultants does

Stanley Consultants is a 110+ year-old, employee-owned engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa, that delivers multidisciplinary engineering, design, environmental, planning, and program management services to federal, state, and local government clients, utilities, and industrial customers across all 50 U.S. states and more than 120 countries. With 501-1,000 employees and 20+ global offices (including locations in the U.S., UK, UAE, and Guam), the firm operates across six primary verticals — Federal Government, State & Local Government, Energy & Utilities, Water & Wastewater, Transportation, and select Data Center and Industrial work — and has completed more than 50,000 engagements, including 1,500+ substations, 50,000+ miles of transmission and distribution infrastructure, and large federal programs such as the $3.8B Tyndall Air Force Base reconstruction, the $1.4B Al Dhafra Air Base master plan, and the $900M USACE Galveston water resources pool. The firm's core technology stack integrates climate models, hydraulic modeling, geospatial analytics (GIS), and digital twin technology, anchored by its wholly owned Resilient Analytics subsidiary and its proprietary Infrastructure Planning Support System (IPPS) for climate risk and resilience modeling. Stanley Consultants monetizes through project-based professional services contracts, including long-cycle federal IDIQ/task order vehicles, joint ventures, and direct enterprise engagements, with quote-driven, scope-based pricing; revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm is led by Chair, President, and CEO Kate Harris (in role since 2017), and is differentiated by its employee-owned culture, depth across 200+ engineering disciplines, and integrated climate science capability added through the 2022 acquisition of Resilient Analytics.
