About the Company
Globetrotters is a diverse organization comprised of the highly regarded firms of Globetrotters Engineering Corporation and Globetrotters International, Inc. Based in downtown Chicago, the Globetrotters organization employs over 200 management, professional, and support personnel. Globetrotters provides a full range of functional and sustainable life cycle services from initial planning, design and construction; to commissioning, operation, and maintenance; to recycling, remodeling, and renewal. We reside in a unique niche in our industry, as an independent, mid-sized organization with deep expertise in several markets.
Our culture, our structure and our leadership encourage and attract people who are capable and passionate about leading, building valued relationships, fulfilling their client’s specialized needs, and going above and beyond expectations.
Globetrotters Engineering Corporation is a full service consulting professional design corporation that rigorously pursues and delivers successful projects for our clients in the design and construction industries. Founded in 1974 the firm has grown to an organization of 150+ people based in Chicago, IL, with satellite offices in Milwaukee, WI and Washington, DC. It continues to provide architectural, multi-discipline engineering, planning, facilities and construction management along with consulting services to public and private sector clients in a variety of disciplines and markets throughout the Midwest.
Our projects range from massive, multi-million dollar megaprojects that take years to design and construct, to small development/improvement projects that can take a few days from start to finish. We have the resources and experience to handle extremely large, complex projects beyond the capabilities of smaller firms, but we still deliver the personalized customer service to our clients that the globally focused conglomerates cannot.
Our vision is to be the preeminent team of planners, designers, constructors and managers providing integrated solutions to advanced design technology issues. Our vision is about satisfying our clients’ needs by making them successful and building lifelong relationships one client at a time. This vision is just as relevant today as it was 40+ years ago.
Since 1974, Globetrotters has participated in noteworthy projects including O’Hare International Airport’s Terminal 5, Midway International Airport’s Terminal Expansion, the McCormick Place West Expansion, Chicago’s Deep Tunnel project, development projects in Indonesia and the Philippines, and the rehabilitation of dozens of U.S. embassies throughout the world.
