Thompson Engineering was formed in 1953 to provide quality assurance for construction projects related to industrial infrastructure and community development. As a drilling materials testing construction inspection and chemistry laboratory firm we supported the engineering and construction industry. Our early years were building blocks that allowed us to get our feet wet - literally - performing services along the Gulf Coasts rivers bayous and streams.
Today Thompson Engineering is known for leadership on projects defining skylines coastlines and transportation lines. We support clients in the industrial commercial transportation federal and municipal markets. While we are still one of the first companies on project sites conducting environmental assessments land surveys and geotechnical studies our design teams are close behind. We now deliver cutting-edge solutions to complex infrastructure and building requirements. And our project management and construction management services mean we are often one of the last teams to leave. From start to finish we are a proven leader in the planning design and construction of major transportation economic development and waterfront projects across the Southeast.
Thompson Engineering and Watermark Design Group are equal opportunity employers. M/F/D/V. Pre-employment drug screen and motor vehicle record checks are required.
