People First
Building on a Tradition of Designing the Future
When we say we support community, that starts in our own backyard. We aim to give back to the people who help Wooten design the future for others. Our commitments to quality, capability, and sustainability inform how we treat everyone — from our clients to our employees.
Wooten works closely with local leaders to promote prosperity and quality of life for today and to benefit future generations. Building on this foundation of tradition are the core values that drive everything we do.
Values in Action
focusing on what we can do for our clients today & for tomorrow.
Community
Our employees live and work across the Carolinas and, as such, we are keenly invested in ensuring that these places thrive. When our work is done, our teams also take time to give back and enjoy fellowship. From booking a food truck to spearheading a food drive, we are always looking for meaningful, engaging ways to connect with one another.
Quality
Wooten delivers high-caliber designs that foster long-term relationships, which has enabled our firm to operate continuously since 1936. No matter whether we’re creating durable underground utilities or eco-optimized building systems, we have an unwavering commitment to delivering exacting standards and clear communication.
Capability
We build professional teams as strong as the essential infrastructure they design. Wooten is grounded in its engineering and architectural heritage, but we also have an eye for innovation. Our staff benefits from this commitment to continuous growth of expertise – leveraging state-of-the-industry software at their workstations and using leading-edge technology in the field.
Sustainability
Promoting the well-being of the environment and our employees is at the heart of Wooten’s staying power. As evidence, the average tenure with the firm is more than double the national average of similar firms. From creating safe schools and reliable water systems to designing essential parks and greenways, our work helps keep communities healthy.
community
Wooten places a premium on people — in the communities we serve, in our offices across the region, and in the field representing our clients. We keep our systems ready and our teams well-prepared for success on the road ahead.

from our team
“Seeing the community participation in our projects makes me feel as if we are part of something bigger. It’s not just about designing the project and getting a permit; it’s how it impacts the people around it and the economy.”
