The RS&H Federal Market was established to focus our efforts on growth in a very large market.  As a prime or JV partner on 28 IDIQ contracts, including 13 USACE contracts, we have a great future ahead of us.  Our growth over the past 5 years and projections for growth over the next 5 years will put a great deal of demand on our leadership team to continue to strategize, execute and support a growing staff.

We currently have A/E design contracts with 13 US Army Corps districts, 3 AFCEC contracts for US Air Force worldwide (AENext Pool 1, 3 & 4), NAVFAC SE, Defense Commissary Agency, and NASA Southeast Regional A/E.  We also have contracts in support of a variety of defense contractors.  These contracts provide an excellent backlog of work and opportunities for expansion through new sales, revenue, and increases in staffing.  Our projects are increasingly complex, and our project managers are being tasked with a variety of challenging clients, locations, staffing situations, and criteria.  We are currently working on projects in Europe, Japan, and the United States with more than $750M in construction in design. 

Our project managers have increasing responsibilities to not only produce high-quality deliverables, but also to be seller/doers.  The graphic below provides an overview of how RS&H envisions the Project Lifecycle.   

The Federal Market Leadership Team is required to be involved in all phases of the Project Lifecycle as Project Officers and Directors.  This leadership team is responsible for strategic planning, staff management, professional mentoring, project quality control, marketing, business development, and client management.
