AEC firm specializing in manufacturing, control systems, and capital project delivery
BW Design Group operates as a fully integrated architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) firm focused on manufacturing environments, with deep expertise in industrial automation (Allen-Bradley, Rockwell, Ignition, SCADA) and large-scale infrastructure projects. The stack reveals a heavy operational tilt: CAD and BIM tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks) sit alongside PLC/SCADA programming and manufacturing execution systems. The hiring composition—75% engineering roles with senior and director-level dominance—signals project-delivery intensity and execution focus rather than product development.
Notable leadership hires: Director Engineering, Construction Director, Project Director
