Parsons Corporation is making a big move to boost its infrastructure capabilities in the Southeast U.S. with the acquisition of BCC Engineering, a top transportation engineering firm based in Florida. The all-cash deal, valued at $230 million, marks a strategic step for Parsons as it strengthens its position in one of the fastest-growing infrastructure markets, especially with the influx of federal dollars from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
With projects spanning Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico, BCC brings its expertise in civil and structural engineering to Parsons, helping the company expand its footprint and capabilities. Parsons’ CEO Carey Smith highlighted that this acquisition aligns with their mission to enhance mobility solutions across North America, especially at a time when the need for resilient infrastructure is more critical than ever. The addition of BCC will not only increase Parsons’ service offerings but also position them to play a key role in the transformative infrastructure projects reshaping the region.
