  • Why Join Wilson & Company

  • Be part of a growing, purpose-driven firm that is shaping communities through infrastructure and transportation projects.
  • Enjoy the flexibility of a remote or hybrid work arrangement.
  • Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package aligned with our Total Rewards philosophy.
