Harshman Civil Engineering

What Harshman Civil Engineering does

Harshman Civil Engineering Group, LLC is a privately held, Pennsylvania-based civil engineering consulting firm headquartered at 2455 Park Ave, Washington, PA, with a secondary surveying office at 100 Courson Hill Road. Founded as an LLC and operating under the DBA "Harshman CE Group," the firm delivers six integrated service lines to municipal governments and, secondarily, private developers: civil engineering (surveying/GPS, site design, hydrologic and hydraulic studies, residential development, infrastructure and utility design, feasibility studies, permitting, municipal engineering), land surveying (boundary, ALTA, topographic, construction stakeout, GIS mapping), environmental services (DEP permitting, Act 537 sewage planning, stormwater/NPDES, floodplain, erosion and sedimentation control, wetland delineations), planning (comprehensive plans, master planning, CIP, zoning reviews), grant writing for public, private, and nonprofit clients, and municipal services including UCC building code review, code enforcement, zoning consulting, and rental/IPMC inspections.

The firm operates a roughly 30-person team of licensed Professional Engineers (Jamie Harshman as President along with five additional PEs), a Professional Land Surveyor, certified Building Code and Zoning Officials, senior municipal planners, construction inspectors, code technicians, drafters, engineering technicians, permit coordinators, and administrative staff. Technology is built around professional engineering, surveying, and GIS workflows — notably an ArcGIS-based interactive web viewer publishing zoning, code enforcement, MS4 storm sewer, and municipal client maps — with no proprietary software platform, API, or AI component.

Commercially, Harshman generates revenue through quote-based professional service engagements billed to municipal and private clients in Pennsylvania, with no public pricing, no subscription, and no recurring software revenue. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, relying on embedded relationships with Pennsylvania municipalities, downloadable permit applications hosted on the company website, an Indeed-backed careers channel, and a Facebook presence (@HarshmanGroup). No external investors, parent company, funding rounds, M&A, patents, awards, or alliances are disclosed; ownership appears to be founder-held, consistent with a small, independent professional services firm.
