    Job Description

    ABOUT THRASHER
    The Thrasher Group has been improving the communities where we live and work since 1983 – not as outside consultants, but as residents and neighbors. Thrasher is the largest privately owned architecture, engineering, and surveying firm in West Virginia, and maintains a growing presence in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Our roots throughout central Appalachia and the Mid-Atlantic region have allowed us to build a reputation for doing meaningful work for communities of all sizes.

Thrasher provides real opportunities to be part of vital projects, take on real-world responsibility, and work alongside an array of industry professionals across the full life cycle of a project.
