Caravaggio’s leadership philosophy is grounded in integrity, accountability and collaboration.

He served as a production and workover engineer at Anadarko Petroleum Corporation from 2016 to 2019, later joining Oxy as an integrated operations engineer. His early career in petroleum engineering gave him a strong technical foundation that continues to inform his approach to safety, efficiency and innovation in construction management.
In addition to his work with SWI, Caravaggio serves as president of Anago of Colorado and Anago of Southern Ohio, expanding his leadership across multiple industries. Under his direction, SWI has embraced cutting-edge technology, including GPS machine control and advanced utility locating systems, to increase precision, reduce rework and deliver projects ahead of schedule.
