TRANSACTIONS PAPE-DAWSON ENGINEERS ACQUIRES FLORIDA-BASED FIRM, GRADYMINOR Pape-Dawson Engineers has acquired Florida-based engineering firm, GradyMinor, as part of its growth strategy to expand its industry-leading multidisciplinary engineering practice across the United States. Founded in 1981, GradyMinor is a full- service engineering firm with 75 team members who specialize in municipal engineering, land development, land planning, surveying and mapping, and landscape architecture.

By combining resources, the firm is successfully positioned to provide professional engineering consulting services to clients across the state. “GradyMinor shares our commitment to excellence in engineering, providing clients with a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to deliver thoughtfully designed projects,” said Pape-Dawson President, Gene Dawson. “GradyMinor’s alignment
with our core values combined with their reputation and diversified workload were key factors in our decision to partner. This acquisition builds upon our recently established Florida footprint as we work to expand our local team to serve the needs of the growing state.” “We are thrilled to be joining the Pape- Dawson family,” stated Mark Minor, president of GradyMinor. “We look forward to drawing upon the expanded resources and support that Pape-Dawson offers to our employees and clients alike. Together, we are well-positioned to continue serving communities across Florida with more capabilities than ever before.” Founded in 1965, Pape-Dawson Engineers is a leading provider of engineering and consulting services. The firm provides a comprehensive range of services, including civil engineering, environmental, and surveying services for development and critical infrastructure projects.

to adapt and overcome these challenges can reap great benefits. Access to a wider talent pool, increased flexibility, and the ability to scale up (or down) as needed is the beginning. But I believe the real value is unlocked when you build a collaborative team of the right people in the right seats. It’s these people and their relationships that allow us to grow and execute key business objectives, and to do it in a healthy way. In this new era, businesses are not just filling gaps; they’re creating a mosaic of talent, technology, and innovative work models. The key is adaptability. The ability to blend traditional with modern, in-house with remote, and human with AI – that’s the secret sauce for thriving in today’s dynamic business landscape. So, as we navigate these uncharted waters, remember: the professional labor gap isn’t a crisis; it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to rethink, reshape, and revitalize how we work. Join us as we continue to explore how to make this shift, and how a focus on human relationships and culture are the keys to success. Stuart McLendon is COO at Zweig Group.
