He has over 10 years’ experience as Project Manager, directing contract compliance and field engineering across underground utility construction projects throughout the St. Louis area — including tunnel installations beneath major highways, sanitary sewer replacement near residential structures, and a design-build repair of a collapsed high-pressure outfall system.
Kathryn Markey -
President
Kathryn founded and leads Markey Engineering, overseeing the company's business operations, brand development, regulatory compliance, and financial planning. She brings over seven years of operational leadership experience where she manages multi-site performance metrics, staff development, and compliance-driven workflows — skills she applies directly to running a disciplined, well-organized engineering firm.
Engineering Excellence Built on Precision
Precision, safety, and accountability guide every project Markey Engineering takes on. The firm relies on rigorous technical analysis and meticulous project management to give clients clear, dependable recommendations rather than guesswork, and treats safety as a non-negotiable standard on every site — a standard built from real experience managing complex excavations near highways, homes, and active infrastructure.
Clients choose Markey Engineering for the combination of a dedicated, woman-led business foundation and a Director of Engineering with a proven track record on some of the region's most technically demanding underground utility projects, direct access to the firm's leadership rather than being routed through layers of staff, and the responsiveness of a firm that treats every client relationship as a long-term partnership
