entered between two sides of an industry, ENGlobal exists as a vertically integrated midmarket firm providing complete construction project solutions to the energy market.

“ENGlobal started out as an engineering business and has now transitioned to be a complete project delivery firm,” Mark Hess, Chief Executive Officer of the company,

begins. “We are able to engineer, design, fabricate and automate projects, such as hydrogen plants, send it to the field for erection or assembly, and then we can commission that project.”

ENGlobal’s services are split between the realms of renewable energies and that of traditional oil and gas, with a presence across multiple states in the US.

“OUR VISION IS TO BE THE PREFERRED PROVIDER OF INNOVATIVE ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS AND MODULAR PLANT FACILITIES TO CLIENTS ACROSS THE GLOBE” - BILL COSKEY, RETIRED CEO, ENGLOBAL With offices in Denver (Colorado) and Tulsa (Oklahoma), a corporate office and integration facility in Houston (Texas), and a fabrication yard in Henderson (Texas), the company handles projects ranging from between 25 to 250 million dollars, providing clients the highest quality complete construction solutions.

THE OLD AND NEW For ENGlobal, operating across two sides of the energy industry provides both opportunities and challenges, as Hess elaborates.

“Each day is different in the industry,” he reflects. “There is currently a big push for renewable energy, and there is a lot of focus from traditional hydrocarbon oil and gas companies becoming renewable energy-focused. This is great in the sense that renewables are being supported and so leads to more work in the space, yet limiting for the oil and gas sphere. Despite this, green energy and renewable power represent the new transition from fossil fuels and are very exciting areas full of development.

OPTIMIZED DESIGN PILLER is well known for performance, durability, efficiency and costeffectiveness. Our experienced engineers and technicians provide high-level process engineering expertise to help create an optimized technical solution for the end user‘s production process.

ENERGY SAVINGS Process designers and technology experts look for efficiency and cost reduction at every opportunity. They know they can depend on PILLER centrifugal blower designs that increase pressures and temperatures efficiently, while significantly reducing process energy costs for their operations and reducing their carbon footprint.

NORTH AMERICA OUTLOOK: HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK FOR ENGLOBAL? MARK HESS, CEO: “I obtained a degree in Accounting; my career has been primarily in accounting and finance in which I have over 35 years’ experience.

“I have been involved with public companies all of my working life, and back in 2010 ENGlobal was looking for some assistance granting me the opportunity to come over and help them out. So, I started at ENGlobal approximately 10 years ago trying to get the ship righted again.

“I spent a few years doing just that in the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and then Bill Coskey, the founder and previous Chief Executive Officer of the company, retired earlier this year and I became CEO; I assumed his position, and here I am today.”

“We have a number of projects that we are working on within these areas, but we also spend a lot of time supporting the traditional oil and gas space. The way we see it, even if we, in society, were to transition all of our cars and other aspects of life over to electricity and green power, there would still be a need for fossil fuels, for example in the production of clothes, bottles and many other areas.”

According to Hess, it is the mixture of progressive, government-supported renewables, and the societal necessity of hydrocarbon oil and gas, that ENGlobal maintains a dual focus within the construction solutions sphere of the US energy market.

AWC Inc. “Winning Together” starts with a shared commitment to building an environment of inclusiveness, trust, and mutual respect.

We know that when people are safe to pursue their passions, to learn, to serve, and to share in the rewards from their combined efforts, they will win.

PROJECTS AND PROVISION With over 250 dedicated and experienced employees across its offices, fabrication yard and integration facility, ENGlobal is able to supply various industry clients with turn-key project solutions.

“A prime example of this is the work we are doing with a hydrogen plant for a renewable fuel facility in Kansas,” Hess explains. “We are providing our client with a hydrogen plant that we have built in our fabrication yard. We will then ship it in 24 truckable process modules and other components, the modules will be delivered to the site, stacked on one another, connected, and they will form the hydrogen plant itself.”

ENGlobal’s modular hydrogen plant is an integral component of a renewable diesel facility with an expected maximum production of 10,000 barrels per day. ENGlobal’s services include detailed engineering, and design, procurement, module fabrication and complete control system, including safety instrumented systems, commissioning and start up assistance - a complete and quality service.

“Currently in our pipeline we have a number of opportunities in green energy,” Hess informs us. “The

renewables market is a booming space full of activity and potential. We have many new projects that we are assisting with regarding getting the projects started. Once they start, we can conduct the feed studies all the way up to final investment decision (FID). And once that happens, and if the project is a go, then we can actually deliver them.”

On top of this, the oil and gas side of the industry is looking just as promising for the company. ENGlobal has a Government Contract Division that handles multiple government contracts; conducting and carrying out automation work primarily linked to fuel handling custody and control.

PEOPLE AT THE FORE ENGlobal’s construction operations within the energy industry would not be possible without the various business partnerships the company maintains, as Hess elaborates.

The company attracts, trains and retains some of the best minds in varying fields of engineering in order to deliver the highest standards of excellence.

“ENGlobal makes use of many materials and resources, such as steel and wire for example, to build our plants. Because of this, the supply chain is very important,” he says.

“Within our automation engineering and integration, we also purchase smart equipment, like gas analyzers, that come from specific providers like Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Emerson Electric and others.

For ENGlobal, having these relationships with its providers are key. The company doesn’t keep to one or two single suppliers but instead makes use of multiple business relationships to maximize its flexibility, and each of these are vital to their operations. Alongside this, ENGlobal’s employees are paramount to the company’s success.

“Our slogan, ‘We deliver innovation’, is not something that you can purchase, but instead it is something that comes from the employees,” Hess tells us proudly. “We have very smart and experienced personnel at ENGlobal, and I can’t state enough how important they are to the company.

“And because of this we try our hardest to keep them motivated and benefitting from the work that we provide.”

As a people-centric company, one of ENGlobal’s primary concerns is the complete safety of its clients and employees within the realm of company operations. ENGlobal holds a proud safety record, and it continues to be placed at the forefront of company operations from the past, in the present, and into the future.
