Mr. Windle's professional journey spans nearly three decades, marked by a steady progression through increasingly responsible roles in the surveying and engineering fields. Since 2012, he has served as the president of SCW Surveying in Helena, Montana, where he manages the schedule, works for multiple contractors and conducts field work as needed.

Under Mr. Windle's leadership, SCW Surveying has grown significantly in both scope and reputation. He is most proud of founding the company, which has allowed him the freedom to select projects and clients that align with his interests and expertise. Initially serving a 100-mile radius, he has expanded his service area to approximately 250 miles across Montana, responding to calls for challenging projects that showcase his skills. Licensed throughout the state, Mr. Windle continues to hire experienced professionals to support the increasing demand for his services.

Mr. Windle's dynamic approach distinguishes him within the industry. Rather than limiting himself to property or design surveys, he offers comprehensive services that include construction staking and machine control solutions. Mr. Windle's expertise encompasses construction, commercial projects and property surveys, earning him recognition as an expert in these areas.

From 2011 to 2017, Mr. Windle contributed his expertise as a surveyor and project engineer at Helena Sand and Gravel (now Montana Materials & Construction). In this capacity, he handled all surveying operations for the company while gaining valuable knowledge about machine-control technology associated with GPS-enabled construction equipment. This experience deepened Mr. Windle's understanding of modern construction practices and further diversified his technical abilities.

Mr. Windle devoted over five years as a professional land surveyor at Mueller Consulting Land Surveyors in Helena, starting in 2005. While employed by the licensed land surveyor, he refined his skills in property and commercial surveys. Mr. Windle's responsibilities included a broad range of surveying tasks that laid the foundation for his later entrepreneurial success.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Windle served as a field engineer at Stelling Engineers Inc., where he participated in construction inspections and was involved in designing rural airports throughout Montana from 2000 to 2004. He conducted surveys during the summer months and focused on office-based design work during the winter, gaining invaluable experience in engineering and airport design.

Mr. Windle's educational background provided a strong foundation for his achievements. After graduating from Capital High School in Helena, Montana, he attended Montana State University in Bozeman, receiving a bavhelor's degree in construction engineering technology by 2000 while remaining active in surveying and engineering internships during summers in Colorado. Mr. Windle later earned an Associate of Applied Science in surveying from Flathead Valley Community College in 2005. This specialized education enabled him to pursue licensure as a professional land surveyor in Montana, which he attained in 2009.

As a member of the Montana Association of Registered Land Surveyors (MARLS) since 2005, Mr. Windle remains actively engaged with industry advancements and professional development. Beyond his professional endeavors, he is civically engaged as a donor to multiple programs in the Helena community, reflecting his commitment to supporting community initiatives.

Throughout his career, Mr. Windle has attributed much of his success to building trust with contractors by maintaining a high level of accuracy on every level. His commitment to accuracy helps prevent issues during construction, and when challenges arise, he remains dedicated to resolving them collaboratively with project teams.

Looking ahead, Mr. Windle plans to expand SCW Surveying by hiring additional licensed land surveyors and growing his team further. He recently welcomed a new employee who is beginning their own journey into surveying under his mentorship, demonstrating his dedication not only to business growth but also to fostering the next generation of professionals within the industry.
