ENGlobal (NASDAQ:ENG), a leading provider of engineering and related project services, today announced the formation of a Government and Infrastructure business unit.
This initiative will target markets that the Company believes have significant potential for ENGlobal’s services, such as providing design, installation and maintenance of various government, public sector, and international facilities. The Government and Infrastructure group will include the Company’s technical services division that provides automated fuel handling systems and instrumentation and control services to branches of the U.S. military.
In support of this strategy, the following senior level appointments have been announced:
Michael M. Patton, currently Senior Vice President–Business Development, has been appointed President of the Government and Infrastructure group. In his new role, Mike will oversee the newly formed business which will be responsible for ENGlobal’s domestic and international activities on behalf of government and infrastructure clients. Mr. Patton has over 29 years of experience in all aspects of multi-discipline engineering and construction projects for the oil and gas, electrical power, military and municipal utility industries.
J. Michael Harrison, has assumed the role of Senior Vice President–Business Development. Mr. Harrison will oversee company-wide sales and marketing activities. Mr. Harrison has over twenty years engineering and construction experience in the refining, petrochemical, pipeline and midstream oil/gas processing industries, with such firms as Aker Kvaerner and Jacobs Engineering. His past successes include selling capital project engineering services from $5 million to $500 million in total installed cost, developing and implementing sales strategies, global account management, and international sales.
“I believe our new Government and Infrastructure business has tremendous potential and I fully expect it to contribute to the future growth for the Company. We have a great leader in Mike Patton, a person who is uniquely qualified to make this new venture a success,” said William A. Coskey, P.E., Chairman and CEO of ENGlobal Corporation. “In addition, we are very happy to welcome Mike Harrison to the ENGlobal senior management team. His enthusiasm and vast experience should serve us – and our clients – well. I have great respect for Mike Patton and Mike Harrison and believe they will both excel in their important new roles.”
