Engineering consulting for natural gas transmission, production, and storage facilities
Basic Systems is a full-service engineering consulting firm focused on natural gas infrastructure. Their tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial control systems—PLC, HMI, SCADA—paired with traditional office tools and project-management software (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project). The engineering-dominant hiring mix (9 of 11 active roles) and active projects around PLC development and automation system upgrades suggest they are scaling execution capacity on control-system modernization, likely driven by client demand to address legacy automation downtime.
Basic Systems provides multi-discipline engineering consulting to the natural gas industry, with expertise across transmission, production, storage, LNG, and CNG/NGV facilities. Their service portfolio spans facility engineering, process design, mechanical and electrical engineering, instrumentation, civil and structural work, as well as automation and control systems. They also deliver inspection, procurement, construction management, and startup support, positioning themselves as a turnkey (EPC) solution provider. The firm is based in Cambridge, Ohio and operates across the United States.
Primary tools: PLC, HMI, SCADA for industrial automation; Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project for project management; Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Teams for collaboration and communication.
Active projects include PLC program development, HMI and SCADA system design, and automation system upgrades—reflecting a focus on modernizing control systems for natural gas infrastructure clients.
