Wood Rodgers, Inc.

What Wood Rodgers, Inc. does

Wood Rodgers, Inc. is a multidisciplinary civil engineering design firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Sacramento, California. The firm provides integrated engineering and design services across twelve service lines spanning aviation, environmental, geotechnical, GIS, land development, landscape architecture, planning, structures, surveying and mapping, transportation, transportation planning, and water resources. It serves public agencies and private developers across California and Nevada, with ten offices including a newly opened Denver, Colorado location that extends its operating geography to three states. Technical capabilities include ESRI ArcGIS platform integration (as an ESRI Partner Network Member, ArcGIS Marketplace Provider, and ArcGIS System Ready specialist), Trimble R10 GPS systems, S6 and S8 robotic total stations, rotary and fixed-wing UAVs for aerial mapping, mobile LiDAR for transportation projects, terrestrial laser scanning for BIM modeling, and one of the largest AASHTO-accredited materials testing laboratories in Northern Nevada with shear wave and primary wave geophysical analysis capabilities. Notable project outcomes include the Caltrans District 3 Middle Mile Broadband Network (111 miles of fiber design completed in 6 weeks with an 8-person team versus a typical 9-month schedule), for which Wood Rodgers received an Esri Special Achievement in GIS Award, and multiple APWA Project of the Year awards in 2024 across Sacramento and Nevada chapters.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model, generating income through competitive qualifications-based selection on public infrastructure projects, competitive bidding on transportation and construction work, and direct negotiation with private sector clients. Government clients represent a significant share of revenue, evidenced by named relationships across Caltrans District 3, Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County, Port of Oakland, Alameda County and Sacramento Area Flood Control districts, City of Las Vegas, City of Carlsbad, Washoe County School District, and Douglas County among others. Private sector clients include mining operators (Turquoise Ridge & Twin Creeks Mines, i-80 Gold Lone Tree Mine), industrial complexes (Tahoe Reno Industrial Center), and commercial developers (CarMax). The firm pursues awards through APWA, ASCE, APA, Esri, and the National Asphalt Paving Association, building credentialing capital that supports future qualifications-based procurement.

Wood Rodgers is founder/management controlled with no external institutional investment evident. Mark Rayback serves as President with a board comprising vice presidents and principal engineers across its Sacramento, Reno, Pleasanton, and San Diego offices, alongside Controller Justin Rollman and newer board members Glen Parker (joined January 2025) and Mike Motroni (joined January 2026). Co-founder Mark Rodgers remains listed in some firm materials while day-to-day leadership sits with Mark Rayback and the operational board. The company promotes an employee-centric culture featuring long-tenured 'Wood Rodgers Legends' staff with 25+ years of service, an active STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) Team Community Action Program supporting K-12 education, and a 2025 promotions cycle naming five new Partners. Headcount sits in the 101-250 employee band, with revenue not publicly disclosed.
