Os Engineering

What Os Engineering does

OS Engineering is a private, full-service electrical and controls engineering firm and division of Olsson Industrial Electric, headquartered in Springfield, Oregon. Founded in 2017, the company delivers four integrated service lines — Design, Analysis, Controls/SCADA, and Field Services — for power generation, industrial, utility/municipal, and commercial clients across the Pacific Northwest. Its customer base is anchored by federal hydroelectric infrastructure work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (digital governor upgrades, switchgear replacement, and station service modernizations at multiple Columbia River basin dams) and a small set of enterprise accounts in manufacturing (Georgia Pacific, Seneca Sawmill, ATI Cast Products) and municipal utilities (Springfield Utility Board).

The firm's technical core is built on power system analysis (load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc-flash, transient and steady-state stability, IEEE 519 harmonic compliance), SCADA and PLC-based automation (Ignition by Inductive Automation, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell hardware), and digital governor systems for hydroelectric facilities. OS Engineering holds Premier Integrator status in the Inductive Automation Integrator Program — the only such credential in Oregon — and operates as the engineering arm of Olsson Industrial Electric alongside sister division Olsson Controls, enabling turnkey design-build delivery through the parent group's construction capabilities. The team is small (1–10 employees, including 4 full-time designer-drafters, 2 part-time drafters, licensed engineers, and a SCADA Division Manager), supporting a relationship-based, sales-led go-to-market concentrated in the Northwest United States.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements — design, analysis, integration, commissioning, and field testing — delivered as either direct consulting or bundled turnkey design-build contracts. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has not raised external funding; it operates as a strategic operating subsidiary of Olsson Industrial Electric with no independent M&A, funding, or restructuring signals in the available data.

Core offering

OS Engineering is a full-service electrical engineering consulting firm and the engineering division of Olsson Industrial Electric, providing professional engineering services for power and control systems. It delivers four integrated service areas: Design Services (feasibility through O&M), Analysis Services (power system studies including load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc-flash, and IEEE 519 harmonics), Controls/SCADA Services (Ignition by Inductive Automation integration and PLC-based automation), and Field Services (commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and operation of low and medium voltage systems).

Product overview

OS Engineering is a full-service consulting firm and engineering division of Olsson Industrial Electric, offering a unified portfolio of four integrated service areas: Design Services (covering feasibility through O&M), Analysis Services (power system analysis including load flow, short circuit, and arc-flash studies), Controls/SCADA Services (automation and control systems including Ignition platform implementation), and Field Services (commissioning, testing, and operation support). These services are delivered as an integrated engineering consulting offering rather than discrete software products, serving power generation, industrial, utility/municipal, and commercial sectors.

Direct peers

• POWER Engineers: POWER Engineers is a privately held engineering consultancy with a comparable power systems and SCADA/controls practice serving utilities, industrial clients, and federal agencies. Highly comparable in service mix — power system analysis, substation design, automation, and field services — though materially larger in headcount and geographic reach.
• Ulteig Engineers: Ulteig is an employee-owned engineering firm focused on power and renewable energy, with deep SCADA, substation, and hydroelectric modernization capabilities. Closely comparable in service portfolio, vertical mix, and project size — and a direct competitor for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and municipal utility work in the Western U.S.
• M.C. Dean: M.C. Dean is a large systems integrator specializing in electrical, electronic, and SCADA/automation systems for federal, utility, and industrial clients. Direct overlap with OS Engineering's Controls/SCADA and electrical infrastructure modernization work, particularly for government and critical infrastructure customers.

Broad incumbents

• Burns & McDonnell: Burns & McDonnell is a major employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm with a substantial power generation and T&D practice. Overlaps directly with OS Engineering's hydro, substation, and industrial power work, but competes at much larger scale with thousands of professionals globally.
• HDR Inc. HDR is a large global engineering firm with deep hydropower and power delivery capabilities, including dam modernization, substation, and SCADA work. Comparable on hydroelectric and utility-side engagements; competes with OS Engineering on USACE and municipal hydro RFPs in the Pacific Northwest.
• Black & Veatch: Black & Veatch is a major engineering, procurement, and construction firm with significant hydropower and power systems work. Highly comparable services on the engineering side, though Black & Veatch typically operates at substantially larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• Tetra Tech: Tetra Tech is a large consulting and engineering firm with significant water, utility, and power infrastructure practices. Overlaps with OS Engineering on municipal utility engineering, substation design, and SCADA modernization work, particularly for public-sector clients.
• Stantec: Stantec is a global engineering and consulting firm with a sizable power and infrastructure practice. Comparable on utility, hydropower, and industrial electrical engineering projects, though operating at much larger scale across North America.
• Quanta Services: Quanta Services is a leading infrastructure construction and engineering services provider for the electric power, oil & gas, and telecom industries. Adjacent peer given its T&D and power infrastructure focus; competes for the same utility and federal hydro customers though primarily through construction-led execution.

Others

• Rockwell Automation: Rockwell Automation (parent of Allen-Bradley) is OS Engineering's primary technology partner but also a potential competitor in industrial automation and SCADA at much larger scale. The relationship creates both channel opportunity and channel risk for OS Engineering's positioning.
