Engineering and design services for power, renewables, and infrastructure
Westwood is a 1,000+ person engineering services firm anchored in civil and transmission design for power and renewable energy projects. The tech stack is dominated by Autodesk (Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Revit) and Esri (ArcGIS, ArcGIS Enterprise) — the standard for infrastructure design and GIS workflows — with no active tech migrations signaling stable, project-delivery-focused operations. Aggressive hiring (382 roles posted in the last 30 days) is concentrated in engineering (491 open positions), reflecting capacity-building around solar, wind, substation, and interconnection projects rather than organizational restructuring.
Notable leadership hires: Service Lead, Survey Crew Chief, Program Management Director, Renewable Energy Permitting Lead, Permitting Lead
Westwood provides full-service professional services across civil engineering, transmission design, renewable energy development, construction management, and environmental permitting. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, the firm works on utility-scale solar and wind projects, high-voltage substation design, battery storage systems, and water/wastewater infrastructure. The organization operates across the United States, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Core challenges center on project profitability, schedule adherence, scope management, and collection cycles—typical friction points in fixed-fee or milestone-based engineering contracts. The company is actively growing its water and wastewater practice while scaling renewable energy and permitting capabilities.
