We strive to foster a sense of community within our offices and take that same purpose to our work enabling us to realize places that once could only be imagined. As a member of the Otak team, you’ll notice a different kind of company--where people are our priority.. They are Our “Why.”

With deep roots in the Pacific Northwest while expanding rapidly to Colorado, we have built a strong reputation for excellence in smart urban growth planning, sustainable design and development, and innovative transportation solutions. We are a highly collaborative team with award-winning multidisciplinary expertise in urban design, architecture, planning, engineering, and construction management. Whether it is regional planning; engineering a mobility project; designing a mixed-use residential project, or assisting an owner to manage construction of a complex civic facility, we apply a clear vision, positive energy, and a client-centric focus to every project we touch.

It is our passion for the work we do that unites us. We are not just looking for the most qualified or experienced candidates, we are looking for talented people who embody the Otak spirit. We embrace a culture of inclusion and equity in both our company and our communities because we have seen firsthand how diversity fosters innovation and strengthens our skills.
