We’re proud to share that DWG, a Salas O’Brien Company (DWG), ranked 5th in the medium company category of the 2026 SCBIZ Best Places to Work in South Carolina awards. This is our first year competing in that category, reflecting our continued growth across the AEC sector since merging with Salas O’Brien.
The Best Places to Work in South Carolina program, produced by SCBIZ News and Best Companies Group, evaluates companies through an employer questionnaire and a confidential employee engagement survey covering culture, leadership, and benefits. Honorees were recognized at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center and will be featured across SCBIZ’s statewide business publications.
Moving into the medium company category and still landing in the top five speaks directly to the culture our team has built and protected, even through a period of growth. This recognition belongs to the entire team as they continue to support each other and our clients.”
