About CH2M HILL

About Us

Founded in 1946, CH2M HILL was built on honesty, ethics, and morals. The initial intent was to solve clients’ problems in engineering or consulting with creativity, ingenuity, and technology. How do you consistently deliver on that promise while building the client and project base? You hire creative, bright people to deliver the work and then share the benefits with them.

This founding strategy continues to work as well today as it did back then. Although we have grown tremendously since 1946, CH2M HILL continues to be deeply grounded in the philosophy of its founders. There's no better reason to join CH2M HILL than the continuation and execution of the initial intent of our founders..

Your talents and expertise can help CH2M HILL build a better world for tomorrow — today.

From chemical plants in Buenos Aires to super cleanrooms in Japan, from nuclear cleanup in Colorado to wastewater treatment plants in New Zealand, the projects we deliver and the markets we serve are as diverse as the world itself. At CH2M HILL, you will have the opportunity to enhance and grow your skills and experience by creating, managing, building, delivering, and sustaining some of the world’s most challenging projects.

You'll partner with our clients, bringing the knowledge gained from a myriad of projects on every continent, and leveraging the company's rigorous attention to detail to create non-routine projects that are also models for the industry. We craft our solutions with sustainability—always mindful of government regulations, environmental concerns, maintenance requirements, and public perceptions.

You will be part of the only engineer–procure–construct–operate company that offers this wide spectrum of expertise, knowledge, and services across varied industries and government agencies. This scope and scale sets us apart in our commitment to partner with clients to achieve strategic and operational goals.

Over 60 years and counting...CH2M HILL continues to build upon our founders’ visions and values of honesty, ethics, and morals. The only difference is that today we have a global presence: 23,500 employees in regional offices worldwide and the financial stability that goes along with it, and gross revenues of $6.3 billion in 2009. Not bad for four guys with big ideas.

Whatever your current career aspirations are, CH2M HILL is a great place to build and sustain your skills and experience on world-changing projects across the globe. Join us today!

Our Corporate Values
  • CH2M HILL's values according to our founder and original CEO, James Howland
  • Founder and original CEO Jim Howland wrote the Little Yellow Book in 1982 to capture many of the values on which the firm was built. Every CH2M HILL employee owns a Little Yellow Book, because these values are as valid today as they were back then, and perhaps even more so.
