Hill-LiRo is a 1000-person firm that has grown steadily from its roots nearly 40 years ago in New York. Growth has included the depth and breadth of skills and capabilities as we expand our geographic coverage in the Northeast. We are proud to be known as an “Integrated Construction, Design and Technology Solutions” firm and we have delivered on that label time and again. More importantly, the consistent delivery to core clients as well as our ability to add clients focused on our core strengths has been a testament to our success.

We have offices in NYC, Long Island, and Western New York as well as offices in New Jersey and the greater Boston area. We remain committed to our plan to deliver to our clients to address larger and more complex assignments and be viewed as a trusted adviser or “go-to” firm in our areas of specialty.

To fuel our ability to grow and focus on strategic investments, The LiRo Group joined Global Infrastructure Solutions, Inc., an employee owned, global family of companies that deliver value in the built and social environment for our clients and the communities we serve. In engineering and consulting alone, we are nearly 7000 staff strong with complimentary services and markets and it includes firms such as Hill International and GEI Consultants. This has created new opportunities both from a market and geographic perspective given our focus on synergies and collaboration- all with a keen focus on exceeding our client’s needs.

Our intent is to grow our business with our clients and communities we serve at the forefront. This is layered with a focus on our team, our greatest asset. We understand the need to promote our staff’s efforts, appreciate a balance in life and work, be collaborative in everything that we do and look to have teams in place that are as diverse as the clients/communities we serve.
