Company Profile
Company Overview
Michael Baker Corporation (Baker) was founded in 1940 by Michael Baker Jr., and quickly attained recognition as a premiere engineering design and survey firm through superior project performance for the U.S. military, preceding World War II. Following the death of the founder in 1977 and a corporate restructuring in 1984, major ownership and control shifted to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), and the Company began a period of steady growth in size, scope of services, and financial stability.
Today, Baker provides engineering, design, planning and construction services for its clients’ most complex challenges worldwide.
The firm's primary business areas are architecture, aviation, defense, environmental, geospatial, homeland security, municipal & civil, pipelines & utilities, rail & transit, transportation and water.
The skills, talents, and knowledge of our people are the real value in the innovative solutions we provide to a broad spectrum of clients—solutions that consider the environment first.
Headquartered near Pittsburgh, PA, Baker employs over 2,900 in over 90 U.S. and international offices. Baker is publicly traded on the NYSE Amex exchange under the symbol, BKR. In 2009, Baker’s continuing operations achieved contract revenues of $445.2 million. Engineering News-Record (ENR) magazine currently ranks Baker in the top 10 percent of the 500 largest U.S. engineering design firms (currently 36st) and in the top 25 of numerous individual markets.
The primary markets Baker serves are a clear indication of who we call “client.” More than customers shopping for commodity-driven, off-the-shelf products, our clients in these markets of focus are looking for innovative solutions in creating sustainable infrastructure planned, designed, and built in an environmentally responsible manner. Our goal in serving these target markets is to provide superior services and leverage the skills and talents of our people across the wide spectrum of our business.
