What SSW Engineers does

SSW Engineers Inc is a privately held consulting engineering and surveying firm headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, founded in 1969. The firm operates four distinct service lines: civil engineering (grading and drainage plans, stormwater and sanitary sewer systems, detention and retention systems, dry well design, utility and erosion control plans, HEC-modeling for step-back water analysis), structural engineering (concrete tilt-up panels, CMU, poured-in-place concrete, structural and cold-formed steel, timber framing, foundations, retaining walls, structural evaluation), land surveying (boundary, topographic, ALTA/ACSM, as-constructed surveys, FEMA LOMA/LOMR, construction staking, forensic surveying, and expert witness services), and land use planning (subdivisions, site review, zone changes, variances, conditional use permits, annexations, easements, ODOT and county permit applications). Service delivery relies on AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D as the core production stack; no proprietary software, AI tooling, or platform product is disclosed.

The firm serves Pacific Northwest property owners, retail, commercial and industrial businesses, public agencies, architects, builders, and developers on projects of varying scale. Notable client engagements referenced publicly include Euphoria Chocolate Company, Umpqua Bank, Hyatt Place Eugene, Bi-Mart Corporation, Five Guys Eugene & Starbucks Coffee, Lanz Cabinets Eugene, a Silver Meadows subdivision, and the Brownsville Fire Station. GTM is sales-led and quote-based, with dedicated direct phone lines and email contacts for each service principal — Michael Cox (civil/structural), Mike Dahrens (land surveying), and Jason Goshert (land use planning) — indicating a relationship-driven, project-based engagement model.

SSW Engineers Inc is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, external investors, or disclosed ownership changes. The firm shows no certifications, awards, patents, partnerships, M&A activity, or active hiring in the available source data. Public revenue figures, headcount, and growth metrics are not disclosed, limiting financial visibility. Operating geography is the Pacific Northwest (USA), with the Eugene office functioning as the sole disclosed location.

Direct peers

• Century West Engineering: Oregon/Washington civil engineering and surveying firm focused on municipal infrastructure, transportation, and land development — directly comparable civil/survey service lines and regional concentration.
• Landau Associates: PNW geotechnical and environmental engineering consultancy supporting land development and public works projects, frequently retained alongside firms like SSW on survey/civil work in the same regional market.
• Otak: PNW-based architecture, engineering, and planning firm with offices across Oregon and Washington delivering civil engineering, structural, surveying, and land use planning — directly comparable multi-discipline service model and regional footprint.
• KPFF: Seattle-headquartered structural and civil engineering consultancy with strong PNW presence offering building structural engineering and site/civil design — directly comparable in core disciplines and regional market.
• Mackenzie: Portland-based design firm providing architecture, structural engineering, civil engineering, and land use planning across the Pacific Northwest — closely mirrors SSW's one-stop-shop multi-discipline model.
• Harper Houf Peterson Righellis (HHPR): Portland, Oregon-based civil/structural engineering and surveying firm serving PNW municipalities and developers; highly comparable mid-sized practice competing in the same regional pool of projects as SSW.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• HDR Inc. Global architecture/engineering/consulting firm with substantial PNW presence in transportation, water, and facilities design; competes for the larger public-sector and commercial engineering mandates that SSW also pursues.
• Mead & Hunt: National multi-discipline engineering and architecture firm with PNW operations in aviation, infrastructure, and water — broader incumbent that competes for the same municipal/commercial engineering RFPs.
• David Evans and Associates (DEA): Large PNW-headquartered multi-discipline engineering and surveying firm (transportation, water, land development) that overlaps SSW's civil and surveying offerings but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
