Purpose Engineering

What Purpose Engineering does

Purpose Engineering LLC is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based multi-disciplinary engineering firm founded in 2020 that provides integrated engineering, automation, and project services to industrial operators across six verticals: Oil & Gas, Power, Chemical, Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, and Water & Wastewater. Its core service offering spans the full project lifecycle, from Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies and engineering & design, through design & drafting, instrumentation specification, controls and automation programming (PLC, HMI, SCADA, LabVIEW), project & construction management, and on-site field services. In parallel with its services work, the firm manufactures complementary hardware products including custom control panels, power distribution centers, custom motor control centers, and power equipment.

The company is privately held by four cofounders — Cody Wann (PE), Ashley Reynolds, Steve Fields, and Corbin Heard (PE) — and markets a combined 60 years of relevant engineering experience as its primary credibility signal. Its go-to-market is direct and relationship-led: customers engage via phone and dedicated email addresses for business development and general inquiries, with no disclosed channel partners, referral programs, or digital marketing infrastructure beyond a basic Squarespace website. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no named customers, no patents, no awards, and no partnerships in the available source material, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. The operating footprint is domestic, with a single Tulsa office and no stated geographic expansion plans.
