About Us
Welch Comer has been consistently providing engineering services to the Northwest for over 40 years. We’ve grown from a two person firm in 1979 to 30 employees with offices in both Coeur d’Alene and Spokane Valley. We’ve intentionally remained small in size to ensure our clients receive the tailored service they deserve.
Our primary focus is to serve the public by providing engineering services to municipal, state, federal, and select private clients. We are an employee owned company that owes our success to providing excellent service to our clients as well as a commitment to providing our employees with a stable, positive, and rewarding place to work.
