What our employees have to say about Progressive Design

“Progressive Design is at the intersection of Engineering & Design, where professionals from various disciplines gather to provide the industry’s highest-quality Engineering services. Progressive Design understands the value of detailed Design and makes every effort to provide our clients with exceptional Engineering services, ahead of schedule and under budget.  These bright team members far exceed my personal expectations and challenge me professionally every day to strive for advancement. Since joining Progressive Design over 7 years ago as a Mechanical Designer, I have developed into a Senior Mechanical Designer and the CAD Administrator. I am now intimately involved with all 3D Modeling and projects utilizing Point Cloud technology.  With the support of my team, I have forged a path forward, chasing innovation without sacrificing quality.  At Progressive Design, my creative initiatives for improved project deliverables are supported and appreciated by the project teams and really have an impact!”

What our employees have to say about Progressive Design

“It’s one thing for a company to advertise work-life balance, but it’s another for one to follow through on their promise. But management, specifically our President, Erica Burgess, goes beyond that, and encourages it. I left a large global corporate company to come to Progressive Design, and, as with the work-life balance promise, every commitment has been fulfilled. From the first day I immediately felt welcomed throughout the entire organization; my days are exciting, dynamic, challenging, and collaborative, never without support. The wealth of industrial E&D knowledge and experience in all departments is quite impressive, too. I’m truly very fortunate to work here, I’m learning and growing daily, progressing both professionally and personally; I couldn’t ask for more.”

What our employees have to say about Progressive Design

“I have been with Progressive Design for over 10 years.  I came to Progressive Design as a VCU Mechanical Engineering graduate with no real-world practical experience.  Starting on day one, the Senior Designers and Engineers took me under their wing and supported my development and growth within the organization.  The diverse knowledge base within the company has allowed me to grow exponentially in a very short period of time.  Working with other disciplines such as, Electrical and Civil / Structural, has also expanded my knowledge base outside of my degree which has significantly strengthened my abilities as a Project Manager.  With diverse clients in fields varying from Power, Chemicals, Manufacturing, and Food and Beverage, there is always a challenge to learn and become familiar with the process and the client’s needs and expectations.  However, there has always been an internal resource with experience in every process that I have been able to lean on for support.  Progressive Design has given me the opportunity to become a valuable resource to the company, directly contribute to the success of the organization, and feel empowered to continue to lead the growth of the business.”

What our employees have to say about Progressive Design

“As a former client, I had always been impressed with the trust that developed whenever I worked with Progressive Design.  I felt that I heard the truth; that I was treated fairly; and that the products that Progressive Design delivered were of exceptional quality.

Now, as an employee, I see this same commitment to integrity and trust in every part of the organization.  People reach out, they express a genuine sense of caring and commitment to each other and to their clients.  All my co-workers have welcomed me and helped me out in every way imaginable. I know that we have each other’s backs, and that’s a great feeling. That’s what makes me want to give that same level of commitment to my clients and my co-workers.”
