In 1987, Jim Bernhard started a pipe fabrication company with two colleagues. Their mission was to provide quality products and services while creating a dynamic and challenging work environment for their employees.

Twenty years and 26,000 employees later, The Shaw Group Inc. is now established in more than 150 locations around the globe and is the world's leading solutions based company that develops, designs, builds, maintains, and operates programs and facilities for our clients.

Through a bold and agile management strategy, Shaw has become one of the world's only vertically-integrated providers of comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction, technology, maintenance, fabrication, manufacturing, consulting, remediation, and facilities management services for government and private sector clients in the power, energy, chemical, environmental, infrastructure, emergency response, homeland security and nuclear services markets.
