What Molzen-Corbin & Associates, PA does

Molzen-Corbin & Associates, PA is a privately held, 100% employee-owned consulting engineering, architecture, and planning firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 1960, the firm operates from three offices — Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and El Paso — serving municipalities, counties, airport authorities, universities, and tribal communities across the US Southwest. Its service portfolio spans eleven disciplines, including civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering; water resource and wastewater engineering; airport design; architecture and landscape design; construction services; surveying; on-call engineering; and grant administration. Project scope ranges from small-scale municipal improvements to major infrastructure programs with individual contract values in the $13M–$60M range (e.g., The Pit renovation at UNM, Santa Fe Airport Terminal expansion, Roswell Air Races infrastructure, Zuni Pueblo water improvements).

The firm delivers services on a project-by-project basis under direct contracts, on-call arrangements, and competitive public-sector bids. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with revenue generated through professional services fees tied to design, planning, construction administration, and grant funding assistance for government clients. The technology stack relies on industry-standard CAD, BIM, and project management software rather than proprietary platforms. The customer base is entirely public-sector, anchored by long-tenured relationships — 90% of business comes from repeat clientele, and several clients have been continuous since 1960. Notable credentials include the first Envision-rated infrastructure project in New Mexico (I-25 University, 2022 Envision Silver) and the 2024 ACEC New Mexico Grand Conceptor Award for the Sunport Emergency Power project. The firm is led by President and CEO Kevin Eades.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• NV5 Global, Inc. Large publicly traded infrastructure, environmental, and geospatial professional services firm. Provides broader geographic reach and bench depth on the same water, transportation, and public-infrastructure projects; serves as a scaled alternative on larger pursuits where Molzen Corbin cannot prime.
• HDR, Inc. Employee-owned engineering and architecture firm with national footprint, strong water and transportation practices. Direct overlap on multi-discipline municipal work; represents the scaled, employee-owned archetype against which Molzen Corbin's long-term trajectory is best compared.
• Stantec Inc. Global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with deep Southwest municipal practice. Competes for the same airport, water, and roadway procurements at larger scale; relevant as a benchmark for the ceiling on regional firm growth and as an acquirer of similar-sized firms.
• Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Privately held national engineering, planning, and design consulting firm with growing Southwest municipal practice. Competes on transportation, water, and land development work for the same public-sector clients, though at meaningfully larger scale.

Direct peers

• Bohannan Huston, Inc. Albuquerque-based multi-discipline engineering, surveying, and planning firm of similar size and Southwest focus. Direct peer — Molzen Corbin and Bohannan Huston have already partnered as joint venture on the I-25/University Interchange, and both compete head-to-head for NM municipal and DOT work.
• Merrick & Company: Colorado-based, employee-owned engineering, architecture, and surveying firm serving municipal, federal, and aerospace clients. Closely comparable on ownership structure (employee-owned), Southwest presence, and water/infrastructure portfolio; competes for similar federal and tribal water work.
• Huitt-Zollars, Inc. Mid-sized engineering and architecture firm delivering civil, structural, MEP, and infrastructure services to public-sector clients across the Southwest and Texas. Similar in size, multi-discipline offering, and public-sector focus; both firms pursue on-call municipal contracts and airport/transportation programs.
• Garver: Multi-discipline engineering firm with nationally recognized aviation practice and significant water/transportation capabilities. Comparable on airport engineering depth and municipal client base; competes directly on FAA-funded airport and water/wastewater pursuits across the South-Central US.
• Wilson & Company, Inc., Engineers & Architects: Multi-discipline engineering and architecture firm with strong Southwest and Rocky Mountain presence, similar employee scale, and comparable service mix spanning transportation, water, airports, and municipal infrastructure. Directly comparable on project type, client base (state DOTs, municipalities), and delivery model.

Regional players

• RESPEC Company, LLC: Engineering and consulting firm with strong Rocky Mountain/Plains and tribal-community water/infrastructure presence. Comparable on technical water depth and tribal-community client work, though headquartered outside Molzen Corbin's core geography; relevant competitor on federal tribal water pursuits.
