Design West Engineering’s expansion into Northern California marks a strategic milestone for the firm. At the heart of this growth is Chris Tejeda, CPSM, who recently joined DWE as Director of Business Development. With deep roots in the region and an extensive network across the AEC industry, Chris brings the localized perspective needed to anchor DWE’s presence in this evolving market.
The Right Move at the Right Time
Northern California is experiencing a significant surge across the education, government, medical, and private sectors. While DWE is “formally” arriving, DWE’s regional portfolio is well-established. This expansion builds on a successful history of projects in Northern California that would all be easily accessible from the Sacramento region.
DWE Founding Principal Mark Galle shared, “Expanding into Northern California has been a long-term goal. We wanted to support our partners with a dedicated, local DWE team. This was a true moment of alignment; Chris is well-known in the Greater Sacramento area, and his deep roots perfectly match our desire to answer the call from clients who want DWE’s expertise on the ground in Northern California.”
