Mark Thomas

Mark Thomas is a team of civil and structures engineers, construction managers, land surveyors, landscape architects, planners, and grant writers that are dedicated to improving mobility in our communities. Combining technical skills with a thorough understanding of a project’s physical, human, environmental, and political dynamics is the essence of what we do. We have set the stage for countless California roadways, structures, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, parks, communities, flood control and utility systems. We strive to develop ideas and alternatives that other firms might not, and be a true partner with our clients – developing solutions that are context sensitive, technically sound, and are supported by the community and decision makers. As an employee-owned organization, we are focused on the success and growth of our team members. We achieve this through multiple career path options, structured on-the-job training program, and a fun, hybrid work environment.

While Mark Thomas strives to encourage diversity in each office, Mark Thomas’ Inland Empire office is a perfect example of a part representing the whole as it has encouraged a company culture that is inclusive, diverse, and especially attentive to the empowerment of women in the civil engineering and planning industry. This is evident in the way that leadership encourages the Inland Empire staff’s involvement in the local WTS chapter and other organizations where women can confidently take on leadership roles while pursuing their careers.
