Today we're the Bay Area market leader — a +$20M company running roughly 800 projects a year for top-tier general contractors across commercial and public works construction.

If you're looking for a place where you won't get lost in a corporate machine but you'll still work on marquee projects across the Bay Area, CWI is the kind of company where your contributions are visible and your career has room to run.
