ENGlobal is a project execution company focused primarily on
automation services, as well as full-spectrum engineering, procurement and
construction management (EPCM), mainly for oil and gas projects across the
U.S., but also abroad in regions like Central Asia. ENGlobal has come from
humble roots that stretch back to 1985 when the company had only one customer,
$2,500 and a vision to become one of the top multidisciplinary integrated
service providers in EPCM and automation for upstream, midstream and downstream
interests. Eventually realizing enough of that vision to place even brighter
horizons within striking distance, the company has matured into a trusted
sector player, working massive infrastructure projects such as the
implementation of more than 10 giant pump stations in Russia and Kazakhstan for
the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, as well as handling numerous pipeline and
facility jobs for the likes of Xcel Energy (NYSE: XEL), with whom the company
currently has an ongoing professional services agreement to provide various
EPCM services.
The outlook for ENGlobal – which handles everything from
refinery facilities and complex midstream/downstream projects like pipelines,
to integrated systems such as power islands, state-of-the-art plant automation
systems, and complete rip-and-replace automation jobs – is particularly bright
when it comes to domestic operations. Especially considering the roughly $641
billion that must be spent in the U.S. over the next two decades on midstream
infrastructure like pipelines and pumps alone, according to projections by the
Interstate Natural Gas Association of America and consulting firm ICF
International. And ENGlobal is poised to get a lot of that work too, with an
industry-wide reputation for excellence, a world-class safety record boasting
factors like 22.6 million man-hours without a lost time injury, and the
accolades of such established industry publications as Engineering News Record
magazine, which has consistently ranked ENGlobal as a Top 500 engineering
design firm for over a decade.
If we peel back the surface on ENGlobal, which has routinely
demonstrated its ability to punch above its weight and contend directly with
much larger operators in the EPCM field, we see that behind the company’s team
of over 400 top technical professionals, whose talents span an array of key
specializations, the company possesses one of the most experienced management
teams in the industry today. It is this eminently capable management team that
continues to provide the kind of visionary leadership that has allowed ENGlobal
to prosper, irrespective of underlying market conditions. These people have
been around the block more than once and bring a vast wealth of experience to
the table for ENG, allowing the company to seize advantages where others could
not, while avoiding pitfalls that would otherwise ensnare a less experienced
team.
At the helm is Mr. William A. Coskey, P.E. (Professional
Engineer), who co-founded the company and has served in a variety of
administrative roles since its inception. The current president and CEO of ENG,
as well as being a director of the company, Coskey has also been the chairman
of the board since 2005, and was previously instrumental to the company’s
fruition via his work as COO and interim VP of automation. Having received his
B.S. in electrical engineering with honors from Texas A&M in 1975, Coskey
went on to serve on the department’s advisory council for what has been nearly
two decades now, eventually receiving the chairmanship of the council in 2006.
The Dwight Look College of Engineering is the biggest college on the campus at
Texas A&M, ranking third for undergraduate enrollment and ninth in graduate
enrollment by the ASEE (American Society for Engineering Education), and the
college’s engineering graduate program is ranked seventh nationwide (eight in
undergraduate) by U.S. News & World Report.
ENGlobal’s current COO, Bruce Williams, came into the post
after serving with the company for nearly a decade and having done a stint as
senior VP of the company’s Midwest/southwest operations. An undergrad recipient
from the University of Northern Iowa in chemistry, with post-graduate studies
at the University of Houston in environmental management, Williams brings a
rich history consisting of three and a half decades plus of subsequent domestic
and international experience in both engineering and project management to bear
on his duties, where he oversees the company’s continually expanding
operational footprint. It is this kind of veteran operational management
expertise which has enabled ENG to successfully execute complex EPCM projects
time and again for its clients.
Senior VP of business development for ENG, Mike Harrison,
has 25 year’s worth of skin in the engineering and construction game, having previously
served in a similar capacity for local Houston area engineering firm,
Commonwealth Engineering and Construction, prior to joining the company back in
2009. Harrison got his BBA from Stephen F. Austin State University in the early
90′s and has received a great deal of continuing technical education from the
University of Oklahoma since then. The majority of experience for Harrison
however, comes from nearly a decade of work at international technical
professional services firm Jacobs Engineering (NYSE: JEC), where he took on
progressively higher levels of business development responsibilities in the
Baton Rouge and Houston areas throughout his tenure.
The company’s deep bench of over 400 technical professionals
would not be what it is today without the leadership of former senior human
resources manager for global technology and EPCM firm KBR (NYSE:KBR), Scott
Curd, who served KBR with distinction for nearly a decade and a half, before
becoming ENGlobal’s human resource manager in 2011, and subsequently going on
to be the director of HR since 2012. With over three decades of experience
stretching across other engineering firms like CDI Engineering and Audubon
Engineering, Curd brings an impressive track record managing HR for both
domestic and international concerns with him to ENGlobal. Including having
managed HR for operations in such challenging global regions as the ME, at
outfits worth anywhere from $50 million, to as much as almost $7 billion.
Rounding out the ENGlobal management team is VP and general
counsel, Tami Walker, who has over two decades of frontline legal experience in
the telecommunications industry, as well as across various segments of the
energy market, including oil, gas, and wind energy. Former general
counsel-development for the North American arm (a leading renewable energy
company based in Chicago with its wind headquarters in Austin) of one of the
world’s biggest energy companies, and the largest investor-owned utility on
earth, Germany-based E.ON SE (OTC: EONGY), Walker understands the prevailing
regulatory and legal concerns that face companies like ENGlobal, with a level
of expertise that is unrivaled by many of her contemporaries.
The company recently approved Coskey, as well as David W.
Gent, P.E., Randall B. Hale, and David C. Roussel for one-year terms as
directors of the company during its annual stockholders’ meeting. And with
Financial Executives International member, Mark A. Hess, CPA, who got his BBA
from the University of Houston, watching over the company’s numbers as CFO and
treasurer – in addition to Hein & Associates LLP, recognized as a leading
accounting and advisory firm, serving as the company’s independent auditors –
ENGlobal is able to run a tight ship with considerable ease, staying ahead of
the ever-changing energy sector, and adjusting its logistical footprint
accordingly.
