The firm supports clients throughout California, including Los Angeles World Airports, Hollywood Burbank Airport, City of Anaheim Public Utilities, Northrop Grumman, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, SoCalGas and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Today, Burns & McDonnell operates in California from offices in Los Angeles, Brea, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area, which together are home to more than 350 employee-owners.
