A Veteran Owned Business

Our Difference

Why Fishbone

We're not a staffing agency. We're not a large consulting firm. We're a small, veteran-owned team that shows up, does the work, and delivers results.

Engineering You Can Count On

Fishbone Technical Services was built for the problems other firms turn down. When the scope is undefined, the documentation is missing, and the path forward isn't clear — that's where we thrive. We bring the discipline of military service, the expertise of seasoned engineers across multiple disciplines, and the accountability of a firm where your project is never just a line item.

We Unscramble the Egg

Minimal direction. Thin documentation. Undefined scope. That's our starting line. We do the investigative groundwork others skip — defining the system properly before a single component is specified or a line of code is written.

Full-Spectrum Expertise

Electrical, mechanical, process, and automation — all under one roof. We don't hand off the hard parts. We own the entire problem, which means nothing falls through the cracks between disciplines.

Veteran-Owned & Operated

Our founders served in the U.S. military before building careers in industrial engineering. That background shapes everything — how we plan, how we communicate, how we handle adversity, and how we hold ourselves accountable to the mission.

Client-First, Always

We represent your interests — not the contractor's, not the equipment vendor's. As your owner's representative or project manager, our job is to protect your budget, your schedule, and your outcomes.

Hands-On Execution

Our principals are in the field, not just in the boardroom. When you hire Fishbone, you get experienced engineers who are actively involved in your project — not junior staff managed from a distance.

Proven Track Record

We've managed projects ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars across food & beverage, oil & gas, dairy, and consumer goods. On time. Under budget. Zero recordable incidents.

Our Approach

Every engagement starts with listening. We take time to understand your goals, constraints, and concerns before we recommend a path forward. Then we build a plan, staff it with the right people, and execute with the same discipline we brought to military service.
