CAREERS at dlz
Great infrastructure starts with great people.
At DLZ, the work you do every day connects directly to the communities where people live, work, and raise their families.
Whether you’re part of our engineering, architecture, surveying or construction services teams, your contribution moves real projects forward and makes real places better. That’s not something every employer can say.
We’re a firm of more than 980 professionals across 33 offices — large enough to take on complex, high-profile projects, yet not too big to devote well-qualified teams to handle smaller opportunities. At DLZ, you’re never a number on an org chart. You’re part of a team that knows your name, values your expertise, and is invested in where your career goes next.
Early career professionals at DLZ don’t spend their first years on the sidelines. From the beginning, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects alongside experienced engineers, architects, and technical professionals who are genuinely invested in your growth. Real responsibility, real mentorship, and real impact — from the start.
DLZ offers internships, co-op programs, and entry-level opportunities across our full range of disciplines, from civil engineering and architecture to environmental services, surveying, and construction services. Whatever your focus, you’ll find a team that shares your passion for building communities that work.
If you’re an experienced professional looking for more — more challenge, more visibility, more opportunity to lead — DLZ is worth a close look. With projects spanning engineering, architecture, surveying, and construction services across multiple disciplines and markets, there’s room here to deepen your expertise, broaden your scope, and take on work that genuinely stretches your abilities.
At DLZ, mid-career doesn’t mean mid-trajectory. Our size and breadth mean that talented professionals can move across disciplines, take on leadership roles, and shape the direction of their teams and projects. Add to that a collaborative culture, a family-owned ethos that values people over process, and clients whose projects leave lasting marks on real communities, and you have a firm worth growing with.
At DLZ, advancement isn’t just a possibility — it’s a priority. We invest in our people through mentoring programs, professional development seminars, tuition reimbursement, and ongoing training that keeps you at the leading edge of your field. When you’re growing, our clients feel it. And so do the communities we serve together.
Many of DLZ’s senior leaders started here earlier in their careers and built their professional lives within the firm. That kind of continuity doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people feel valued, challenged, and supported at every stage. If you’re ready to build something lasting, we’re ready to invest in you.
