Electrical and Controls Engineering
In the ever-evolving landscape of the energy sector, JBW Consulting Engineers stands at the forefront, offering comprehensive electrical services. Our expertise spans various energy domains, including oil and gas, coal, nuclear, and power generation, as well as renewable sources like solar and wind. We are committed to developing electrical systems that are not only efficient and reliable but also pave the way for sustainable energy solutions.
At JBW, we specialize in power system design, creating robust and efficient electrical networks that cater to everything from small installations to large power grids optimized for performance and sustainability. We conduct detailed power studies to evaluate and improve system efficiency, identify potential enhancements, and ensure safety while optimizing operational costs. Our expertise in instrumentation and controls focuses on precision, designing systems that provide accurate measurements and effective control for complex energy infrastructures. Additionally, we design and implement substations and large power delivery systems that are reliable, safe, and capable of meeting the growing energy needs of both communities and industries.

Arc Flash & Power Studies
Industrial facilities often lack clear visibility into the risks posed by their electrical systems. Uncoordinated breakers, aging gear, and unknown fault levels can put personnel and operations at serious risk. JBW helps remove these blind spots through comprehensive arc flash, short circuit, and coordination studies that go beyond compliance—offering clear, practical guidance to mitigate hazards and uncover system weaknesses before they cause downtime or injury.

Power Systems Design
When expanding or upgrading an industrial facility, even a small oversight in power distribution design can lead to costly rework or operational bottlenecks. JBW removes design ambiguity by delivering grounded, code-compliant systems that align with real-world operating conditions. From MCC layout to transformer sizing and load studies, we design electrical infrastructure that supports safety, scalability, and future growth.

Instrumentation & Process Control
Inconsistent product quality, unreliable signals, and lack of visibility can erode confidence in process operations. JBW helps clients overcome these barriers by specifying and integrating robust, accurate instrumentation and control systems. Whether it’s a single loop or a plantwide I/O design, we reduce variability and improve operational clarity—helping teams trust the data they rely on.

Plantwide Automation
Disconnected systems and outdated automation can limit throughput and responsiveness. JBW helps clients modernize by integrating their control systems into a cohesive architecture—removing barriers to data, control, and scalability. From PLC/HMI programming to SCADA deployment, our automation work improves repeatability, visibility, and plant-wide coordination.

Machine Controls & Robotics
Machines and robotics require precise, tailored control systems—especially when safety and performance are on the line. JBW removes integration headaches by designing and programming custom controls that tie together motion, safety, and intelligence. Whether it’s a standalone machine or a robotic cell, we help clients go from concept to commissioning with confidence and speed.
