About Us

A New Force in Engineering

4CE Engineering Group (pronounced “Force”) is a private equity–backed engineering platform on a mission to transform the civil infrastructure industry.

A stronger future.

We unite exceptional engineering firms in water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, aviation, and civil infrastructure markets under one bold vision: to grow stronger together, serve communities better, and shape a future built to last.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter acquisitions. We believe in partnership. That means we protect what makes each firm great including its people, culture, and client relationships; while providing the capital, expertise, and operational resources to scale.
