Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Engineer Jobs at H W Lochner Jobs
Align your portfolio with infrastructure software
H W Lochner operates in engineering consulting for transportation and infrastructure. Highlighting experience with GIS platforms, asset management systems, or civil engineering software signals direct relevance and strengthens your candidacy before sponsorship conversations even begin.
Confirm specialty occupation framing early
USCIS requires Software Engineer roles to qualify as specialty occupations under H-1B rules. Review the job description carefully and ensure your degree field aligns with the technical requirements listed, since consulting firms face closer scrutiny on this point than pure tech employers.
Search open roles using Migrate Mate
Filter for Software Engineer positions at H W Lochner using Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles at employers with a documented sponsorship history. This lets you prioritize applications where the hiring infrastructure for international candidates already exists.
Prepare for a PERM-based long-term path
Consulting firms at this scale often support both H-1B and employment-based Green Card sponsorship through PERM. Ask recruiters early whether the role is eligible for permanent residency sponsorship, since DOL labor certification timelines can run 12 to 18 months before an I-140 petition is filed.
Address visa timing in your offer negotiation
H-1B cap-subject petitions have an April 1 filing window with an October 1 start date. If you're currently on OPT or STEM OPT, confirm with HR that your work authorization covers the gap between your offer acceptance and the H-1B validity period beginning.
Request a written sponsorship commitment before signing
Professional services firms sometimes condition sponsorship on project staffing or utilization thresholds. Get explicit written confirmation of the employer's intent to file your H-1B petition before accepting an offer, rather than relying on verbal assurances during the recruitment process.

Does H W Lochner sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, H W Lochner has a history of sponsoring H-1B visas for Software Engineers. As an engineering consulting firm, the company regularly hires technical talent for specialized roles that meet USCIS specialty occupation standards. If you're targeting this employer, confirm sponsorship eligibility with the recruiter early in the process, since availability can depend on the specific role and project demand.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at H W Lochner?
Applications go through H W Lochner's careers portal, where Software Engineer openings are listed by practice area and location. You can also browse currently open roles at H W Lochner that have a sponsorship track record directly through Migrate Mate. Tailor your application to reflect experience with infrastructure technology, GIS systems, or engineering software platforms relevant to the company's consulting work.
Which visa types does H W Lochner commonly use for Software Engineer roles?
H W Lochner sponsors both H-1B nonimmigrant visas and employment-based immigrant visas, including the EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card categories. The H-1B is the most common starting point for international Software Engineers. For longer-term pathways, PERM labor certification through the Department of Labor is typically the route toward permanent residency sponsorship.
What qualifications does H W Lochner expect for Software Engineer roles?
Most Software Engineer positions at H W Lochner require a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. Relevant experience with infrastructure management systems, data platforms, or engineering workflow software is valued given the firm's consulting focus. USCIS also requires this degree alignment to satisfy H-1B specialty occupation requirements, so a direct match between your credentials and the role is essential.
How do I manage the H-1B timeline if I receive an offer from H W Lochner?
H-1B cap-subject petitions are filed in April for an October 1 start date. If your current work authorization expires before October 1, confirm with HR whether you're eligible for cap-gap protection under your F-1 OPT or STEM OPT. USCIS processes standard petitions within three to five months, and premium processing can reduce that to 15 business days if timing is critical.
