Presence provides strategic location in the
southeast US
Atwell, a national consulting, engineering and construction
services firm, has opened an office in the Atlanta market to expand
their presence in the southeast US. The new office is located in
Marietta, Georgia at 1800 Parkway Place, Suite 720, and will be led
by newly-hired Regional Vice President James A. Lowe, formerly of
LAI Engineering. In addition to Atlanta, Atwell will also have
satellite operations in Birmingham, Alabama and Jacksonville,
Florida under the direction of Lowe.
The office has a two-fold strategic importance to Atwell.
Primarily, it provides a geographic hub for expanded operations in
the southeast US for regional and national clients in the land
development, power generation, oil and gas and construction
markets. In addition, Atwell welcomes a team of almost 30
engineering and surveying professionals to the firm, many of whom
worked with Lowe in the past.
“We have been interested in Atlanta for quite a while,” said
President and CEO Brian R. Wenzel. “When the opportunity to hire a
tremendous team of people presented itself, we saw a chance to
expand our capabilities in the southeast US, while adding great
people into our organization.”
Previously serving as the president of LAI Engineering, Lowe has
more than 30 years of experience in engineering design and
management of municipal, commercial, residential, transportation
and industrial projects. He is a licensed professional engineer in
Georgia and a dozen other states, and brings the market knowledge,
client relationships and technical prowess to lead this region and
its diversified client base.
“I look forward to the opportunity to work with the Atwell
organization, to offer a wider variety of solutions and services to
both existing and new clients,” said Lowe. “This is an exciting
move for me and the team.”
This is the third transaction Atwell has announced since the
beginning of the year.
Atwell, LLC, with headquarters in Southfield, MI, is a national
consulting, engineering and construction services firm with over
550 professionals across the country that deliver a broad range of
strategic and creative solutions to clients in a variety of
