• Expands Midwest water, transportation and environmental capabilities
CHICAGO, May 2, 2007 -- CH2M HILL, a global full-service engineering, construction and operations firm, has opened a second Chicago office on South Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago. The new office will serve as a core operations center for the firm's in-city services to its water, transportation and environmental businesses.
The new office at 125 South Wacker Drive will be staffed initially by more than 30 CH2M HILL employees with a high level of Chicago market expertise and primary responsibility for serving existing downtown clients including the Chicago Departments of Water Management, Environment and Transportation and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. The downtown team also is tasked with pursuing additional opportunities in the greater Chicago civil infrastructure market.
The new office will benefit from existing Chicago metropolitan resources located in the firm's O'Hare area office. Combined, both offices bring a total of more than 100 CH2M HILL experts serving the greater Chicago area.
"The City's very strong infrastructure development climate, as well as the firm's growing client base in downtown Chicago, together mark the right time to open this new office and actively partner with the City of Chicago on its water, transportation and environmental needs," said John Schmitz, CH2M HILL's Chicago area manager. "CH2M HILL now has full engineering and technology resources downtown and in the suburbs and is committed to be a strong partner in the communities we serve."
Headquartered in Denver, Colo., employee-owned CH2M HILL is a global leader in engineering, construction and operations for public and private clients.
