We’re Olsson, a nationally-recognized, employee-owned engineering and design firm with a rich history of success. Founded in 1956 on the very mindset that drives us today, we exist to improve communities, like yours, making it more sustainable, better connected, and more efficient. Simply put, we exist to leave the world better than we found it.
