SOLVING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Since 1966, Barr has partnered with clients to solve complex challenges in natural resources, infrastructure, and the built environment by delivering integrated engineering and environmental services—from planning and design to permitting, construction, and long-term support. We work collaboratively to develop practical, sustainable solutions that create lasting value for clients, communities, and the environment. With nearly 20 locations across the United States and Canada, our teams support projects in a wide range of industries, spanning diverse regions throughout North America and beyond.

Barr is 100% employee owned. Our employee‑owners have a direct stake in the work we do and the outcomes we deliver, which fosters accountability, continuity, and a strong commitment to client relationships.

Barr works on projects that address complex, high‑stakes engineering and environmental challenges, helping clients move from early planning and feasibility through design, permitting, construction, and long-term operations. We work across a wide range of industries, including fuels, power, manufacturing, mining, and the public sector, helping clients tackle challenges like infrastructure development, environmental and water resources management, industrial operations, and contaminated site remediation.

At Barr, sustainability means creating lasting, positive outcomes for clients and communities. Guided by a shared sense of responsibility and the principle that economic, social, and environmental benefits are interconnected, we work holistically and side by side with clients to take on today’s challenges while planning for what’s ahead. From improving an industrial facility’s performance to restoring ecosystems and reducing community risk, we work safely and inclusively to deliver practical, forward-thinking solutions that stand the test of time.

Safety is a core value at Barr. Our health and safety management system is certified to ISO 45001:2018 for our major offices, and we prioritize the well-being of our employees, clients, and communities on every project. We believe safe work is essential to delivering high‑quality, reliable results.

Barr is committed to making a positive impact in the communities where our employee-owners live and work. Each year, we dedicate approximately two percent of our net corporate profit to charitable and educational giving, supporting organizations that address basic human needs, expand access to STEM education, protect the environment, and strengthen local communities. Our giving is guided by employee input and complemented by extensive volunteer efforts and pro bono services. For more information, visit our giving page.
