Growth with leadership Lochner is expanding its leadership and regional capabilities in 2026 with new hires and promotions across New England, U.S. South Central, West Region, and Southern California, signaling potential appetite for expanded projects and cross-region collaborations.

Water & Environment focus Recent hires in water and environment leadership (New England Water & Environment Program Director; National Water & Environment Practice Lead) indicate a strengthened platform for pursuing water resources, environmental, and infrastructure projects, presenting sales opportunities in federal and state water programs.

Safety and delivery Appointment of a dedicated Health, Safety, Security Director alongside a culture of delivery excellence suggests opportunities to offer safety program partnerships, risk management services, and integrated project controls for complex civil projects.

Regional growth New regional leadership (South Central, Western CEI leadership, Southern California design) points to potential for targeted pursuits in those fast-growing civil markets, including airports, surface transportation, and urban infrastructure programs.

Strategic partnerships As an Egis company with a diverse tech stack and modern project tools (SCADA, Bluebeam, Cloudflare, HTTP/3, SmartRecruiters), Lochner may be open to technology-enabled delivery partnerships, digital transformation services, and enhanced BIM/engineering analytics collaborations.
