Engineering design firm for sustainable buildings and infrastructure
PAE is a mid-size engineering and design firm using Autodesk's full BIM stack (Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360) alongside Microsoft cloud tools (Azure, Power BI, Power Platform) to deliver mechanical, electrical, and systems design. Their project roster reveals a shift from pure design toward internal operations: active work spans electrical distribution and lighting, but also data integrity audits, reporting automation, and digital delivery tooling rollout—suggesting growing pains around data quality and manual processes as they scale project delivery.
Notable leadership hires: Digital Delivery Lead
PAE provides engineering and design services across mechanical systems, electrical distribution, lighting, technology infrastructure, and sustainable master planning. Founded in 1967 and based in Portland, Oregon, the firm operates as a B Corp and works across the full project lifecycle for building and community clients, from early design through occupancy and commissioning. Their service model emphasizes energy modeling, water conservation, and resilience-focused design paired with cost and operational feasibility analysis. The tech stack is dominated by Autodesk BIM tools and Microsoft cloud services, with emerging adoption of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep) suggesting expansion into cloud-native delivery workflows.
PAE's core stack includes Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Autodesk BIM 360 for design and coordination. They also use Bluebeam Revu for markup and review workflows.
PAE uses Microsoft Azure extensively, including Azure Pipelines, Container Apps, Kubernetes Service, Functions, and Logic Apps. They also use Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Query) for reporting and workflow automation.
