The full-service practice, McLaren Engineering Group, welcomed local officials and other visitors on Thursday to the new space at 530 Chestnut Ridge Road, the newest among its 10 offices nationwide. Located off the Garden State Parkway, the location currently houses a staff of 130, but has capacity for more than 250 professionals.
The debut comes six months after McLaren announced its plans to grow in the state and take space in Woodcliff Lake, under a 12-year lease with Keystone Property Group. The firm’s other work in New Jersey includes mixed-use developments at 197 and 207 Van Vorst in Jersey City, the Pulaski Skyway bridge in Kearny, a recreational pier in Weehawken and automated signage at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Its team has also worked on wharf reconstruction at Port Newark-Elizabeth and the Babbio Center at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, while working to improve over 300 miles of coastline in the Port of New York and New Jersey, according to a news release.
McLaren said it planned to hire several dozen professionals in Woodcliff Lake the coming months, including engineers for entry-level, project management and senior leadership roles. The firm is also looking to add administrative professionals in accounting, information technology, human resources and marketing.
