What Hunter Engineering does

Hunter Engineering Inc. is a privately held, Arizona-incorporated civil engineering and land surveying firm headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, founded in 1998 and operating for over 25 years. The firm delivers a full-service suite - civil engineering (site development, grading, drainage, infrastructure design), land surveying (boundary, ALTA/NSPS, topographic, construction staking), land planning (master planning, zoning, entitlements), construction management, and landscape architecture - for commercial, industrial, residential, public infrastructure, data center, energy, and hospitality projects.

The firm's technical stack is conventional for a mid-market AEC consultancy: advanced proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D for drafting and earthwork calculations, GPS/GNSS receivers and robotic total stations for field surveying, and Trimble Business Center for survey data processing. Operations are organized around four staffed offices (Scottsdale/Phoenix, Dallas, Denver/Greenwood Village, Sedona) covering nine U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Texas), with 70+ licensed and technical professionals across engineering, surveying, planning, and CAD disciplines.

Hunter Engineering generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with no public pricing tiers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales and referrals: the firm engages developers, corporations, and government entities directly, often through reputation and prior project references. Marquee engagements include Amazon and Walmart distribution centers, Microsoft and Iron Mountain data center campuses, a battery storage facility, and Tel360's Texas sales facility, alongside 3,889+ completed projects spanning 97,225+ acres. The firm has no disclosed external funding, parent company, acquisitions, or AI/technology platform - it operates as a founder- or employee-led regional consultancy pursuing growth through geographic and vertical expansion rather than platform consolidation.
