Ciorba Group is an employee-owned (ESOP) engineering firm headquartered in Chicago, with offices in Peoria and Crown Point. We work with DOTs, counties, and municipalities on roadway, structural, water resources, electrical and lighting, and construction engineering projects across the Midwest. We're people-first and committed to building careers alongside infrastructure.
