BFW/Marcum’s steady growth continues with the opening of a new office in Jefferson City, Missouri. The Missouri Department of Transportation’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program plans to invest $14.6 billion in transportation infrastructure over the next five years, including $10.7 billion for roads and bridges (source).
Why Jefferson City?
It’s a move that underscores both opportunity and long-term commitment. According to Mark Workman, Executive Vice President, the decision was both strategic and client-driven. “As our relationships in the region have grown, especially with state and municipal clients, it became clear that a physical presence in Missouri would help us better serve the partners we already support—and open doors for future growth,” he said. Jefferson City’s central location and its role as the state capital made it a smart, purposeful choice. The new office expands BFW/Marcum’s ability to support infrastructure and development across the region, while staying true to the firm’s emphasis on trusted partnerships and responsiveness at the local level.
A Connected Team
But this isn’t just about geography. The Jefferson City office is fully embedded within the BFW/Marcum network. “Our Missouri office isn’t operating in a silo—it’s part of our larger BFW/Marcum family,” Workman said. “We’re already collaborating across teams in civil, environmental and structural engineering, transportation, and utility services.” That collaboration is active and growing. Teams are sharing resources, working on unified platforms, and building on a strong culture that allows each office to deliver locally with the backing of a regional force.
A Sign of Strategic Growth
This expansion also speaks to the firm’s momentum and mindset. “We’re not waiting for the market to tell us what to do—we’re leaning in,” Workman said. “Jefferson City represents the kind of intentional, relationship-based growth we’re committed to. It’s backed by experience and driven by strategy.”
Looking Ahead
As BFW/Marcum enters the second half of the year, its focus remains clear: creating value for clients, empowering its people, and investing in the communities it serves. The move into Jefferson City is one more sign of that mission in action. Missouri engineering firms added nearly 4,500 jobs—a 28% increase—over the past five years (source), so the firm is well‑positioned to meet growing demand.
