Sponseller Group, Inc. is a multi-disciplined engineering firm in the Toledo area. We offer structural engineering, architectural design, facilities mechanical, and electrical design.  We attempt to provide our employees a place to work as a team, expand their understanding, gain valuable experience, and advance to a higher level in the company.   

At Sponseller Group, Inc. we have a broad range of personnel including professional engineers (PE’s), graduate engineers, senior designers, and mechanical designers.  Employees are assembled into teams enabling them to work together to complete tasks and projects.  Each department consists of a manager, structural engineers, designers, and CAD drafters.  All staff are encouraged in their professional careers, personal achievements, and community involvement.

The company was started by Harold Sponseller, P.E. a mechanical engineer who was employed at Owens-Illinois.  Originally, he offered mechanical engineering services through designers working within the office.  In the subsequent years, companies would request personnel to perform design services at their location.  He also offered mechanical design and build of complete automated machines through a wholly owned machine shop.  After thirteen years he expanded into the structural field with structural steel detailing, structural design, structural engineering services, and equipment layout services for General Motors.  We became the supplier of the majority of GM’s engineering at their Defiance facility.

Structural engineering, industrial architectural design, structural design, facilities mechanical, and electrical design have become the largest service offerings within the company.  Most project work is completed within of our offices in Holland or Sidney, Ohio.  We also partner with design/build contractors and fabricators providing them engineering and design services from our offices.  Over eighty percent of our new work comes from existing clients.

Our focus is on providing competent, quality engineering services to our clients encouraging them to return for their next upgrade.  The members of Sponseller recognize that technology and the ability to implement a comprehensive support plan makes the company a trusted resource.  Our staff of engineers and designers approaches each project with the goal of taking the client from concept to completion while participating in finding solutions for any problems that may occur.  We continually work with clients to upgrade operations for the next generation of products or adding improvements to their current production processes.

What sets us apart is our experience, attention to client needs, and responsiveness.  Our employees have a long tenure since we offer an attractive work environment, competitive salaries, benefits, and regularly updated workstations and software suites.  You will be appreciated and well compensated for your level of education and experience.
