Pickering

Pickering was founded as Pickering Engineering Company in 1946 by O. L. Pickering. Located originally at 349½ North Main Street in Memphis, the firm offered civil and surveying services. Over the next forty years, the firm would add structural, mechanical, electrical, transportation, environmental, architectural and energy management services.

In 1999, Pickering acquired Engineering Associates, Inc. in Jackson, Mississippi, which established a presence in the state that would expand over the next decade. Today, our full-service engineering and architectural services firm is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee with offices located in Hernando, Jackson, Flowood, Pearl, and Biloxi, Mississippi.

Our philosophy in 1946 was simple: to provide service and good work. That philosophy has withstood the test of time and continues to be the cornerstone of our business model. We are an employee-owned, family-oriented firm, offering excellent training and benefits. As a result, we have loyal, dedicated employees who take pride in going the extra mile to understand client issues and provide solutions.

Pickering offers comprehensive engineering and architectural services to public and private entities from surveying, civil/site development and design, to architecture, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering, plumbing and fire protection, and construction administration. We complement these skills with teams specializing in transportation design and construction, water and natural resources. With a team of 140 employees, we are an ideal size firm -- large enough to provide in-depth, in-house services to our clients, yet small enough to accommodate them with very personalized attention.

Our ability to seamlessly deliver on complex projects requiring multiple disciplines has attracted major national and international clients such as FedEx, Kroger, Riviana, and Delta Airlines. Our record of assisting public entities in accessing funding and our experience with federal, state and local government work have provided us the opportunity to work with the Army Corps of Engineers, TDOT, MDOT, and a wide range of municipalities.
