When you discuss CH2M Hill, Colorado’s second-largest private company, the
easiest question to ask might be, “What don’t they do?”
And the answer is just as simple: They don’t do small.
CH2M Hill, which until this year was ranked for three years at the top of
the ColoradoBiz Top 250 Private Companies list, is a global engineering and
construction firm with 18,000 employees who provide services in nearly every
corner of the world, from building super cleanrooms in Japan, to building
bridges in Iraq, to strengthening the levees in Louisiana, to cleaning up a
retired nuclear plant here in Colorado.
“We have a diverse portfolio, no question,” said John Corsi, CH2M Hill
director of corporate communications. “But the common thread is that we like
to take on projects that involve large, complex infrastructure wherever in
the world they may be.” Size is no hindrance to the company, unless the
project is too small. “You won’t see us going into the residential-home
market,” Corsi said. “That doesn’t fit our mission.”
The company, founded in 1946 to build wastewater treatment plants in the
Northwest, isn’t afraid to say it’s on a mission. “It may sound trite, but
our goal really is to make the world a better place,” Corsi said.
“Sustainability is behind everything we do; from environmental cleanup to
wastewater treatment, we want to leave a lasting legacy.”
