Regional engineering and design firm serving infrastructure, healthcare, and commercial sectors
GRAEF is a 201–500-person engineering, planning, and design firm headquartered in Milwaukee with nine regional offices across the Midwest, Southeast, and Caribbean. The tech stack is dominated by CAD and design tools (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Bluebeam, SketchUp) paired with Microsoft enterprise infrastructure (Power Platform, Azure, Intune), reflecting a traditional AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) operations model. Hiring velocity is accelerating with a 70-to-1 engineering-to-sales ratio and a pronounced seniority skew toward senior roles, signaling capacity expansion rather than market-facing growth.

The firm operates a multi-office model spanning Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Florida locations (Orlando, Miami, Sarasota), plus Turks and Caicos. Core service areas include mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems, landscape and industrial architecture, operations consulting, and bridge design.
