DENVER, CO — Burns & McDonnell has promoted Employee-Owner Ray Schieferecke to Vice President. These individuals contributed to another record year of growth for the 100 percent employee-owned engineering, construction and architecture firm that produced $4.3 billion in sales, resulted in the support of more than 15,000 projects and the addition of nearly 1,000 employees.

“In 2019, we experienced strong growth, expanding to more than 50 offices around the world to provide even greater support to our clients,” said Ray Kowalik, Chairman and CEO of Burns & McDonnell. “This would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of all our Employee-Owners. Our new Officers have been critical to leading our success and growth — they are game changers within our company and the industries we serve, exemplifying the values of our employee-owned firm.”

Schieferecke is Regional Manager of the firm’s Construction/Design-Build (CDB) Group for the Rocky Mountain region.
