We have some tight integrations into our MES and some startup scripts fire to handle the connection setup for Clients. I also need to run the same in the designer, while right now I just do it in Script Console, is there a way to fire a script on designer start?

No. You could write a module, though. Its startup hook would give you the opportunity to run whatever you need.
