What Jedson Engineering does

Jedson Engineering (legal entity Jedson Inc.) is a privately held, integrated engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCm) firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1982, the firm employs 251–500 people across 15 offices in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Lebanon (Mediterranean). Jedson serves industrial manufacturers and capital project owners across seven verticals: Chemicals, Consumer Products, Food & Beverage, Heavy Industrial, Life Sciences, Power, and Pulp & Paper.

The firm's core offering is a fully in-house EPCm delivery model covering civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, controls, and procurement disciplines, with no subcontracting of core engineering work. Service lines include Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management, integrated EPC, and Consulting (early-phase advisory and FEED/scoping studies). The Power vertical has been extended into data center generation, storage, and behind-the-meter applications. Jedson sells to industrial clients through direct enterprise field sales, engaging plant owners, operations leaders, and capital project decision-makers from feasibility through detailed design, construction, and startup.

Jedson generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, with pricing quote-driven by scope, complexity, duration, and technical requirements. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-influenced (John Vignale remains listed as Founder) and led by a CEO (Rachid Abdallah), President/COO (Carl Bergsten), CFO (Kim Giglia), and CTO (Peter den Hollander), with dedicated VP/SVP leadership for each market vertical and regional business unit.
