Life Here

Where you grow fast and own your work

DCI's San Diego office is one of the firm's earliest, and it has stayed downtown for more than two decades, moving only a few blocks at a time to remain in the heart of the city. For a small team it takes on remarkably large work: multifamily communities and higher-education housing across California, some in the 400- to 600-bed range, plus campus labs, military barracks, and hotels, with work at UC San Diego, San Diego State, Cal Poly Pomona, Humboldt, and Riverside. It's a fast-paced practice where engineers get real responsibility early, joining client meetings and site visits from the start. Off the clock it's a genuinely active crew: card games at lunch, group runs and bike rides after work, and outings to Padres games and waterfall hikes.
