Not many leaders of mechanical contracting firms can say they are still working for the same company they started at after college. Well, unless you’re in a family business. But Brian Acton has been at Indianapolis-based BMWC Constructors — which has never been a family-run entity — for more than 31 years. It’s the only company he’s worked for.
Acton studied mechanical engineering, construction engineering and management at Purdue University in the 1980s. A fraternity brother who was interning at BMWC at the time convinced him to interview with the mechanical contractor.
