Scott Williams, P.E., HFW’s vice president of operations, supports the growth of the firm’s expanding portfolio of strategic partners, developing both shared economies of scale and synergies between HFW Partner firms that will allow them to leverage their expertise across a national AEC footprint built by HFW.
Scott brings to HFW an extensive operational understanding of infrastructure design guided by executable strategic vision and flexible, adaptive business structure. His goal: to help the leaders of HFW Partner firms align their operational visions with one another, identify synergistic growth opportunities and strategies, and then develop shared resources, including expertise, to achieve their visions.
He joined HFW from CRANSTON, an engineering, landscape architecture, surveying, and planning firm based in Augusta, Ga., that became an HFW Partner firm in June 2022. Since 2019, Scott served as president and CEO of CRANSTON, where he drove an aggressive growth strategy that resulted in record net revenue and culminated in the HFW partnership.
A graduate of the University of Georgia in 2002 with a BS in Biological Engineering, Scott dedicated a majority of his more than 20 years at the firm to successfully managing a diversity of civil engineering teams and projects, from municipal complexes, judicial centers, public transit facilities, and major land developments, to stormwater management, roadway infrastructure, dams and levees, and water and wastewater systems.
