Persons Services Corporation

What Persons Services Corporation does

Persons Services Corporation (PSC) is a privately held, family-owned specialty industrial contractor headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, founded in 1978 by Paul F. Persons Sr. as a Gulf Coast plumbing firm and now led by Paul F. Persons Jr. as President & CEO. The company operates four integrated service groups — Construction (commercial, medical, institutional, manufacturing), Infrastructure (underground utilities, site-work, heavy civil, wastewater treatment, water transmission pipelines), Industrial (process piping and fabrication), and Disaster (response, base camps, mitigation, CDBG-DR housing reconstruction) — plus a separately branded Power & Automation Group.

Underlying capabilities include in-house auto-CAD modeling and design-build/design-assist delivery, a company-owned fabrication facility in Mobile, Alabama housing certified pipe welders, pipe fitters, millwrights, plumbers, and operators, and a fleet of company-owned equipment supporting self-performed work. PSC uses construction technology for real-time job site documentation and maintains a multi-state footprint (Alabama, Texas, Florida, USVI) with a national project delivery platform and dedicated group-level sales contacts for bidding.

PSC generates revenue through project-based, custom-quoted contracts across its four groups, with pricing determined per scope and billing on multi-year cadences on certain scopes. It serves enterprise, federal (including military bases such as NASP), state (CDBG-DR housing programs in FL, SC, NC), and municipal clients (Harris County, City of Houston, Baldwin County) across aerospace/defense, steel, petrochemical, refinery, water/wastewater, healthcare, education, and rail, with marquee projects for Airbus, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS), Union Pacific, and USA Health. Marketing is primarily direct enterprise field sales supported by a digital presence; the company has no public ticker, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed AI/ML or software platform product.
