Cliff Horton

Building trust and a broader sense of belonging are core to Cliff’s structural engineering practice. Based in our Portland office, Cliff deepens his roles in project management alongside his relationships. As Cliff enhances his mass timber and concrete prowess, he enjoys the collective camaraderie with those who strive for a more sustainable future. Cliff thrives in the critical analyses of buildings, creatively overcoming access and constructability constraints. Internally he also takes on the role of People Manager, supporting younger engineers through mentorship, accountability, and mutual growth.
If you find yourself in Portland, keep your eyes peeled for Cliff cycling to work while balancing a box of bagels for morning meetings—he’s a team player through and through. You might also see him carting around his puppy pal Teddy. Outside of the office, he applies his engineering skills on home improvements, metal fabrication, and welding. Cliff takes in every bit of the Pacific Northwest’s unbeatable nature. He is drawn to the outdoors whether cycling, skiing, hiking, or camping.
