Small office, national reach, big on giving back

DCI's Houston office is a small, close-knit team on the 8th floor of Park Towers in Uptown, with a window full of the city's skyline, an intern once spent a summer sketching every tower he could see on Post-its. The work is mostly national: private student housing on campuses across the country, plus hotels, apartments, mixed-use, schools, and healthcare, with industrial a growing target. For a small office it punches well above its weight on culture, weekly breakfast tacos, a plant-filled space, and twice-a-year Texas-group parties, and it invests heavily in the next generation through the ACE Mentor Program, mentoring Houston high-schoolers week after week through the school year.

What I’m most proud of is how much everyone has grown. In four years we’ve watched people go from early-career engineers to independent, confident project managers. Seeing that is the best part."

You might be a great fit if...

Houston fits someone curious, friendly, and resourceful, an engineer who's eager to learn, thinks critically and creatively, communicates well, and isn't afraid to collaborate and ask questions. Beyond the desk, the people who love living here lean into Houston's international, food-rich, museum-filled culture and its strong spirit of giving back. It's a place to travel the world without leaving the city, and to grow fast alongside a team that genuinely enjoys each other.
