Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Tetra Tech, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or "Tetra Tech") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2020. These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or for future years . Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year to conform to current year presentation. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, related to the measurement of credit losses for certain financial assets. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss methodology. It requires us to recognize an allowance equal to our current estimate of all contractual cash flows that we do not expect to collect. Our estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts impacting the collectability of the reported amounts. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance modifying certain fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance contains additional disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to better understand the entity’s assumptions used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, but also eliminates the requirement for entities to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments within the fair value hierarchy. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 and amending certain existing guidance for clarity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 (first quarter of fiscal 2022 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued guidance amending certain financial disclosures about acquired and disposed businesses. The amendments are designed to assist registrants in making more meaningful determinations of whether a subsidiary or an acquired or disposed business is significant, and to improve the related disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020 (first quarter of fiscal 2022 for us). We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

The following tables present revenue disaggregated by client sector and contract type: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 28, March 29, March 28, March 29, (in thousands) Client Sector: U.S. state and local government $ 129,781 $ 103,671 $ 254,747 $ 227,507 U.S. federal government (1) 267,696 243,261 533,561 488,564 U.S. commercial 143,702 160,787 301,508 342,278 International (2) 213,585 226,414 430,052 473,407 Total $ 754,764 $ 734,133 $ 1,519,868 $ 1,531,756 Contract Type: Fixed-price $ 272,118 $ 255,613 $ 546,551 $ 526,668 Time-and-materials 347,197 350,618 702,438 738,776 Cost-plus 135,449 127,902 270,879 266,312 Total $ 754,764 $ 734,133 $ 1,519,868 $ 1,531,756 (1) Includes revenue generated under U.S. federal government contracts performed outside the United States. (2) Includes revenue generated from foreign operations, primarily in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and revenue generated from non-U.S. clients. Other than the U.S. federal government, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three and six months ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities We invoice customers based on the contractual terms of each contract. However, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoice issuance. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of the amounts for which we have the contractual right to bill our customers. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients until certain conditions are met or the project is completed, which may extend beyond one year. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and increase as billings in advance of revenue recognition occur. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. There were no substantial non-current contract assets or liabilities for the periods presented. Net contract assets/liabilities consisted of the following: Balance at March 28, September 27, 2020 (in thousands) Contract assets (1) $ 95,079 $ 92,632 Contract liabilities (185,602) (171,905) Net contract liabilities $ (90,523) $ (79,273) (1) Includes $7.4 million and $12.3 million of contract retentions as of March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively. In the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of approximate ly $90 million and $105 million, respectively, from amounts included in the contract liability balances at the end of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recognize revenue primarily using the cost-to-cost measure of progress to estimate progress towards completion. Changes in those estimates could result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract’s inception-to-date revenue, costs and profit in the period in which such changes are made. As a result, we recognized net favorable operating income adjustments of $1.1 million i n the first half of fiscal 2021 (all in the second quarter) compared to a net unfavorable adjustment of $2.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2020 (all in the second quarter). C hanges in revenue and cost estimates could also result in a projected loss, determined at the contract level, which would be recorded immediately in earnings. As of March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for anticipated losses of $9.5 million and $13.2 million , respectively. The estimated cost to complete these related contracts as of March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020 was approxima tely $95 million and $118 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable, Net Net accounts receivable consisted of the following: Balance at March 28, September 27, (in thousands) Billed $ 380,522 $ 402,818 Unbilled 253,784 253,364 Total accounts receivable 634,306 656,182 Allowance for doubtful accounts (5,120) (7,147) Total accounts receivable, net $ 629,186 $ 649,035 Billed accounts receivable represent amounts billed to clients that have not been collected. Unbilled accounts receivable, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized but not yet billed pursuant to contract terms or billed after the period end date. Substantially all of our unbilled receivables at March 28, 2021 are expected to be billed and collecte d within 12 months. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents amounts that are expected to become uncollectible or unrealizable in the future. We determine an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts based on management's consideration of trends in the actual and forecasted credit quality of our clients, including delinquency and payment history; type of client, such as a government agency or a commercial sector client; and general economic and industry conditions, including the potential impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, that may affect our clients' ability to pay. Total accounts receivable at March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020 included approximately $11 million for each period (all in our Remediation Construction Management ("RCM") segment), related to claims, including requests for equitable adjustment, on contracts that provide for price redeterminat ion . Claims are amounts in excess of agreed contract prices that we seek to collect from our clients or other third parties for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regards to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. This can lead to a situation in which costs are recognized in one period and revenue is recognized in a subsequent period when a client agreement is obtained, or a claims resolution occurs. We regularly evaluate all unsettled claim amounts and record appropriate adjustme nts to revenue when it is probable that the claim will result in a different contract value than the amount previously estimated. In the first half of fiscal 2021 (al l in the second quarter), we recognized increases to revenue and related gains of $2.8 million in our Commercial/International Services Group ("CIG"). We recorded no material gains or losses related to claims in the first half of fiscal 2020. No single client accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable at March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020. Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPOs”) Our RUPOs represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. We had $3.1 billion of RU POs as of March 28, 2021. RUPOs increase with awards from new contracts or additions on existing contracts and decrease as work is performed and revenue is recognized on existing contracts. RUPOs may also decrease when projects are canceled or modified in scope. We include a contract within our RUPOs when the contract is awarded and an agreement on contract terms has been reached. We expect to satisfy our RUPOs as of March 28, 2021 over the following periods: Amount (in thousands) Within 12 months $ 1,828,946 Beyond 1,298,902 Total $ 3,127,848 Although RUPOs reflect business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPOs are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Our operations and maintenance contracts can generally be terminated by the clients without a substantive financial penalty. Therefore, the remaining performance obligations on such contracts are limited to the notice period required for the termination (usually 30, 60, or 90 days). |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we acquired a small company, Coanda Research and Development Corporation ("CRD"), based in Burnaby, British Columbia. CRD provides high-end expertise in computational fluid dynamics and utilizes industry-leading capabilities to solve complex engineering science problems for commercial customers, across a broad range of industries and is part of our CIG segment. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we acquired Segue Technologies, Inc. ("SEG"), a leading information technology management consulting firm based in Arlington, Virginia. SEG is part of our Government Services Group ("GSG") segment. The fair value of the purchase price w as $40.9 million. T his amount was comprised of $29.6 million in initial cash payments made to the sellers, and $11.3 million for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, with a maximum of $20.0 million, based upon the achievement of specified operating income targets in each of the three years following the acquisition. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we acquired BlueWater Federal Solutions, Inc. ("BWF"), a leading information technology management consulting firm based in Chantilly, Virginia. BWF is part of our GSG segment. The fair value of the purchase price w as $47.7 million. T his amount was comprised of $41.8 million in initial cash payments made to the sellers, $0.7 million of payables related to estimated post-closing adjustments for net assets acquired, and $5.2 million for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, with a maximum of $8.0 million, based upon the achievement of specified operating income targets in each of the three years following the acquisition. Goodwill additions resulting from the acquisition of CRD is primarily attributable to the significant technical expertise residing in an embedded workforce that is sought out by clients, and the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. The fiscal 2020 goodwill additions represent the value of a workforce with distinct expertise in the high-end information technology field, in the areas of data analytics, modeling and simulation, cloud, and agile software development. In addition, these acquired capabilities, when combined with our existing global consulting and engineering business, result in opportunities that allow us to provide services under contracts that could not have been pursued individually by either us or the acquired companies. The results of these acquisitions were included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective closing dates. These acquisitions were not considered material to our consolidated financial statements. As a result, no pro forma information has been provided. Backlog, client relations and trade name intangible assets include the fair value of existing contracts and the underlying customer relationships with lives ranging from one three Most of our acquisition agreements include contingent earn-out agreements, which are generally based on the achievement of future operating income thresholds. The contingent earn-out arrangements are based on our valuations of the acquired companies and reduce the risk of overpaying for acquisitions if the projected financial results are not achieved. The fair values of any earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. For each transaction, we estimate the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and record the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability in “Current contingent earn-out liabilities” and “Long-term contingent earn-out liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. We consider several factors when determining that contingent earn-out liabilities are part of the purchase price, including the following: (1) the valuation of our acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (2) the former owners of acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of our other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. We measure our contingent earn-out liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use a probability-weighted discounted income approach as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are operating income projections over the earn-out period (generally two We evaluated our estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for each individual acquisition on a quarterly basis, which included a review of their financial results to-date, the status of ongoing projects in their RUPOs, and the inventory of prospective new contract awards. We also considered the potential impact of the global economic disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating income projections over the various earn-out periods. The updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. Changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent earn-out liabilities related to the time component of the present value calculation are reported in interest expense. During the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, we recorded adjustments to our contingent earn-out liabilities and reported a net gain in operating income of $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively (substantially all in the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020). At March 28, 2021, there was a total potential maximu m of $66.9 million of outstanding contingent consideration related to acquisitions. Of this amount, $28.7 million was estimated as the fair value and accrued on our consolidated balance sheet. If the global economic disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic is prolonged, we could have significant reductions in our contingent earn-out liabilities and related gains in our operating income in future periods. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment: GSG CIG Total (in thousands) Balance at September 27, 2020 $ 516,315 $ 477,183 $ 993,498 Acquisition activity — 3,675 3,675 Translation 7,874 24,526 32,400 Balance at March 28, 2021 $ 524,189 $ 505,384 $ 1,029,573 Our goodwill balances reflect foreign currency translation adjustments related to our foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies that are different than our reporting currency. These amounts are presented net of reductions from historical impairment adjustments. The gross amounts of goodwill for GSG we re $541.9 million and $534.0 million at March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively, excluding accumulated impairment of $17.7 million for each period. The gross amounts of goodwill for CIG were $626.9 million and $598.7 million at March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively, excluding accumulated impairment of $121.5 million for each period. We perform our annual goodwill impairment review at the beginning of our fiscal fourth quarter. Our most recent annual review at June 29, 2020 (i.e. the first day of our fourth quarter in fiscal 2020) indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill, and all of our reporting units had estimated fair values that were in excess of their carrying values, including goodwill. All of our reporting units had estimated fair values that exceeded their carrying values by more than 80%, with the exception of our former Asia/Pacific ("ASP") reporting unit, which was in our CIG reportable segment. Our former ASP reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. We also regularly evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential change in the recoverability of goodwill. We perform interim goodwill impairment reviews between our annual reviews if certain events and circumstances have occurred, such as a deterioration in general economic conditions; an increase in the competitive environment; a change in management, key personnel, strategy or customers; negative or declining cash flows; or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods. Although we believe that our estimates of fair value for these reporting units are reasonable, if financial performance for these reporting units falls significantly below our expectations or market prices for similar business decline, the goodwill for these reporting units could become impaired. On September 2, 2020, Australia announced that it had fallen into economic recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, for the first time since 1991 including 7% negative growth in the quarter ending June 30, 2020. This prompted a strategic review of our former ASP reporting unit. As a result of the economic recession in Australia, our revenue growth and profit margin forecasts for our former ASP reporting unit declined from the previous forecast used for our annual goodwill impairment review as of June 29, 2020. We also performed an interim goodwill impairment review of our former ASP reporting unit in September 2020 and recorded a $15.8 million goodwill impairment charge. As a result of the impairment charge, the estimated fair value of our former ASP reporting unit equaled its carrying value of $144.9 million, including $95.5 million of goodwill, at September 27, 2020. On September 28, 2020 (the first day of our fiscal 2021), we merged our former ASP reporting unit into our Client Account Management reporting unit. The following table presents the gross amount and accumulated amortization of our acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives included in “Intangible assets, net” on the consolidated balance sheets: March 28, 2021 September 27, 2020 Weighted- Gross Accumulated Gross Accumulated ($ in thousands) Client relations 2.6 $ 47,515 $ (41,533) $ 60,775 $ (53,392) Backlog 0.5 30,509 (28,778) 37,682 (32,761) Trade names 1.7 7,205 (5,995) 7,964 (6,325) Total $ 85,229 $ (76,306) $ 106,421 $ (92,478) Amortization expense for the three and six months ended March 28, 2021 was $2.2 million and $5.6 million , respectively, compared to $3.4 million and $6.4 million for the prior-year periods.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, which is a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We elected to adopt the standard, and available practical expedients, effective September 30, 2019 (the first day of our fiscal 2020). These practical expedients allowed us to keep the lease classification assessed under the previous lease accounting standard (ASC 840) without reassessment under the new standard, and allowed all separate lease components, including non-lease components, to be accounted for as a single lease component for all existing leases prior to adoption of the new standard. We adopted this new standard under the modified retrospective transition approach without adjusting comparative periods in the financial statements, as allowed under Leases (Topic 842), and implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets but did not have an impact on the consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Our finance leases are primarily for certain information technology equipment and the related ROU and lease liabilities were immaterial, and included in "Other current liabilities" and "Other long-term liabilities" accordingly on our consolidated balance sheets at March 28, 2021 and September 2 7, 2020. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and current and long-term operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, incremental borrowing rates are used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our operating leases are primarily for corporate and project office spaces. To a much lesser extent, we have operating leases for vehicles and equipment. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of one month to twelve years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to five years. The components of lease costs are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 28, March 29, March 28, March 29, (in thousands) Operating lease cost $ 22,640 $ 21,595 $ 44,709 $ 42,767 Sublease income (30) (541) (59) (1,115) Other — 18 — 36 Total lease cost $ 22,610 $ 21,072 $ 44,650 $ 41,688 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 28, March 29, March 28, March 29, (in thousands) Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 17,599 $ 21,789 $ 36,399 $ 41,504 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 23,429 $ 59,671 $ 33,722 $ 321,919 Supplemental balance sheet and other information related to leases are as follows: Balance at March 28, 2021 September 27, 2020 (in thousands) Operating leases: Right-of-use assets $ 222,922 $ 239,396 Lease liabilities: Current 68,941 69,650 Long-term 179,645 191,955 Total operating lease liabilities $ 248,586 $ 261,605 Weighted-average remaining lease term: Operating leases 5 years 5 years Weighted-average discount rate: Operating leases 2.4 % 2.5 % As of March 28, 2021, we do not have any material additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.

Stockholders' Equity and Stock Compensation Plans | Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Compensation Plans We recognize the fair value of our stock-based awards as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the award vests. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended March 28, 2021 w as $5.7 million and $10.6 million, respectively, compared to $5.0 million and $9.4 million for the same periods last year. Most of these amounts were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income. In the first half of fiscal 2021, we award ed 57,542 performance share units (“PSUs”) to our non-employee directors and executive officers at a fair value of $153.03 per share on the award date. All PSUs are performance-based and vest, if at all, after the conclusion of the three-year performance period. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is based 50% on the growth in our diluted earnings per share and 50% on our relative total shareholder return over the vesting period.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share ("EPS") | Earnings per Share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, less unvested restricted stock for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares for the period. Potential common shares include the weighted-average dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the number of weighted-average shares used to compute basic and diluted EPS: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 28, March 29, March 28, March 29, (in thousands, except per share data) Net income attributable to Tetra Tech $ 45,517 $ 36,397 $ 97,953 $ 83,707 Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic 54,187 54,699 54,085 54,541 Effect of dilutive stock options and unvested restricted stock 549 764 630 839 Weighted-average common shares outstanding – diluted 54,736 55,463 54,715 55,380 Earnings per share attributable to Tetra Tech: Basic $ 0.84 $ 0.67 $ 1.81 $ 1.53 Diluted $ 0.83 $ 0.66 $ 1.79 $ 1.51 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 19.2% and 19.5%, respectively. Income tax expense was reduced by $8.0 million and $6.7 million of excess tax benefits on share-based payments in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding the impact of the excess tax benefits on share-based payments, our effective tax rates in the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 25.8% and 25.9%, respectively. As of March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $10.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Th ese uncertain tax positions substantially relate to ongoing examinations, which are reasonably likely to be resolved within the next 12 months. These liabilities represent our current estimates of the additional tax liabilities that we may be assessed when the related audits are concluded. If these audits are resolved in a manner more unfavorable than our current expectations, our additional tax liabilities could be materially higher than the amounts currently recorded resulting in additional tax expense. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Reportable Segments | Reportable Segments We manage our operations under two reportable segments. Our GSG reportable segment primarily includes activities with U.S. government clients (federal, state and local) and all activities with development agencies worldwide. Our CIG reportable segment primarily includes activities with U.S. commercial clients and international clients other than development agencies. Additionally , we continue to report the results of the wind-down of our non-core construction activities in the RCM reportable segment. Substantially, there has been no remaining backlog for RCM since fiscal 2018 as the projects were complete. GSG provides consulting and engineering services primarily to U.S. government clients (federal, state and local) and development agencies worldwide. GSG supports U.S. government civilian and defense agencies with services in water, environment, sustainable infrastructure, information technology, and disaster management. GSG also provides engineering design services for U.S. municipal and commercial clients, especially in water infrastructure, solid waste, and high-end sustainable infrastructure designs. GSG also leads our support for development agencies worldwide, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. CIG primarily provides consulting and engineering services to U.S. commercial clients, and international clients that include both commercial and government sectors. CIG supports commercial clients across the Fortune 500, energy utilities, industrial, manufacturing, aerospace, and resource management markets. CIG also provides infrastructure and related environmental, engineering and project management services to commercial and local government clients across Canada, in Asia Pacific (primarily Australia and New Zealand), the United Kingdom, as well as Brazil and Chile. Management evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based upon their respective segment operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions, and other unallocated corporate expenses. We account for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if they were to third parties; that is, by applying a negotiated fee onto the costs of the services performed. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The fair value of long-term debt was determined using the present value of future cash flows based on the borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 measurement, as described in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2020). The carrying value of our long-term debt approximated fair value at March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020. At March 28, 2021, we had borrowings of $250.8 million outstanding under our Amended Credit Agreement, which were used to fund business acquisitions, working capital needs, stock repurchases, dividends, capital expenditures and contingent earn-outs. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments We often use certain interest rate derivative contracts to hedge interest rate exposures on our variable rate debt. Also, we may enter in foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that cash flows and earnings could adversely be affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our hedging program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. We record changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges in our consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income, and in our consolidated statements of income for those derivatives designated as fair value hedges. In fiscal 2018, we entered into five interest rate swap agreements that we designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rate on the borrowings under our term loan facility. As of March 28, 2021, the notional principal of our outstanding interest swap agreements w as $221.9 million ($44.4 million each.) The interest rate swaps have a fixed interest rate of 2.79% and expire in July 2023 for all five agreements. At March 28, 2021 and September 27, 2020, the fair value of the effective portion of our interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges before tax effect w as $(12.1) million and $(15.5) million, which were reported in "Other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the related gains of $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended March 28, 2021, respectively, compared to related losses of $7.4 million and $5.7 million for the prior-year periods, were recognized and reported on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We expect to reclas sify $5.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense within the next twelve months. There were no other derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments for the first half of fiscal 2021. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies We are subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the consulting and engineering profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. We carry professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. While management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, management acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters. On July 15, 2019, following an initial January 14, 2019 filing, the Civil Division of the United States Attorney's Office filed an amended complaint in intervention in three qui tam actions filed against our subsidiary, Tetra Tech EC, Inc. ("TtEC"), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges False Claims Act violations and breach of contract related to TtEC's contracts to perform environmental remediation services at the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, California. TtEC disputes the claims and will defend this matter vigorously. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, related to the measurement of credit losses for certain financial assets. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss methodology. It requires us to recognize an allowance equal to our current estimate of all contractual cash flows that we do not expect to collect. Our estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts impacting the collectability of the reported amounts. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance modifying certain fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance contains additional disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to better understand the entity’s assumptions used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, but also eliminates the requirement for entities to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments within the fair value hierarchy. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 and amending certain existing guidance for clarity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 (first quarter of fiscal 2022 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued guidance amending certain financial disclosures about acquired and disposed businesses. The amendments are designed to assist registrants in making more meaningful determinations of whether a subsidiary or an acquired or disposed business is significant, and to improve the related disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020 (first quarter of fiscal 2022 for us). We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue and Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities | We invoice customers based on the contractual terms of each contract. However, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoice issuance. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of the amounts for which we have the contractual right to bill our customers. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients until certain conditions are met or the project is completed, which may extend beyond one year. Our RUPOs represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. We had $3.1 billion of RU POs as of March 28, 2021. RUPOs increase with awards from new contracts or additions on existing contracts and decrease as work is performed and revenue is recognized on existing contracts. RUPOs may also decrease when projects are canceled or modified in scope. We include a contract within our RUPOs when the contract is awarded and an agreement on contract terms has been reached. |
Accounts Receivable, Net | Billed accounts receivable represent amounts billed to clients that have not been collected. Unbilled accounts receivable, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized but not yet billed pursuant to contract terms or billed after the period end date. Substantially all of our unbilled receivables at March 28, 2021 are expected to be billed and collecte d within 12 months. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents amounts that are expected to become uncollectible or unrealizable in the future. We determine an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts based on management's consideration of trends in the actual and forecasted credit quality of our clients, including delinquency and payment history; type of client, such as a government agency or a commercial sector client; and general economic and industry conditions, including the potential impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, that may affect our clients' ability to pay. |
