The SWE Experience


Since 19

Relationships with project managers and clients go way back — it seems like there’s a lot of friendly, established clients. It’s almost like extended family of the company. Our community of clients and projects feels like a small town.

Joe Iaccarino Director of Energy Services
Since 18

I enjoy the intellectual challenges. I’ve developed tools that are put to use on projects. It gives me a sense of pride that I could meet a need and have the tool persist.

Austin VanderPlaat Electrical Designer
Since 19

The culture is great. I knew I was starting from ground level, and they taught me how to apply my education. The entire team helped to get me going. Everyone always took time out of their day to help train. Looking back now, I’m very appreciative.

Sam Grogan Commissioning Engineer
Since 13

Even before I had ownership in the company, I had ownership in the work product. I was able to provide a lot of input in different aspects and growth elements of the company. I was given a lot of trust and treated well.

Paul Fooks Senior Mechanical Engineer
Since 20

Living from one coast to the other, I’ve worked with many different companies. SWE is hands down the best — the team, the hiring process, the communication. The honesty and openness throughout the company is amazing! This is a company you remain loyal to. One that’s loyal to you. It’s a place you retire from.
