Engineering and construction services for utilities, industrial, and government infrastructure
Mesa is a full-service engineering firm serving utilities, heavy industrial, and government sectors with 35+ years of operational history. The tech stack reveals a traditional heavy-engineering footprint—AutoCAD, ETAP, STAAD.Pro, Revit, and Primavera P6 dominate—paired with emerging adoption of PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems, signaling a shift toward controls-intensive projects and digital integration. Engineering hiring (150+ open roles across civil, electrical, structural, and controls disciplines) significantly outpaces other functions, reflecting both growth in workload and internal pain points around project execution, scheduling, and process bottlenecks.
Notable leadership hires: Transmission Line Lead, Substation Lead, Group Lead, P&C Group Lead
Mesa delivers engineering design, procurement, and construction management services to electric utilities, heavy industrial operators, and government agencies. Core services span civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering, with particular depth in power delivery infrastructure—substations, switchyards, transmission lines, and high-voltage systems at 12 kV to 500 kV. The firm also serves nuclear, hydro, and fossil power generation projects alongside renewable energy (wind, solar, battery storage). Headquartered in Madison, Alabama, with 1,001–5,000 employees across the United States, Mesa operates a project-driven delivery model anchored on design packages, engineering studies, and specifications.
Mesa provides Civil, Structural, Architectural, Mechanical, Process, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls, and Systems Integration Engineering. Specializations include power delivery design (substations, switchyards, transmission lines), power generation, industrial, nuclear, hydro, and fossil projects, plus custom panel fabrication.
Primary tools include AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, Revit, Inventor, MicroStation, Bluebeam, ETAP, STAAD.Pro, and HEC-RAS. Mesa also uses Primavera P6 for project scheduling, SQL and Python for data work, and Microsoft 365 for collaboration.
