Who We Are

Industrial environments are challenging; plant operations and maintenance professionals need to make high-stakes, critical decisions quickly. Steve Moody understands these pressures. He has been working with heavy industries for over 40 years, and built his engineering firm to embrace and adapt to high-pressure environments. Through his leadership, Steve has trained his team to work lean, innovate, and give plant personnel what they need to make effective decisions and minimize production loss.

Steve understands the benefits of building long-term relationships and going above and beyond for clients – this means responding to problems after business hours, even showing up onsite during night shift.  The culture at Moody Engineering, Inc. that’s evolved over the last 20 years reflects Steve’s high standard of excellence.

Steve is licensed as a Professional Engineer (P.E.) in thirteen states, including Texas, and has completed several international projects. He received his Bachelors of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Florida.

As a life-long learner, Steve enjoys testing the latest software tools and innovations in the industry; in fact, MEI was one of the first engineering firms in Polk County to make use of drone technology for structural engineering projects.  In his spare time, Steve and his wife enjoy traveling and spending time with their two grandchildren.

Bob is an avid salt water angler and enjoys spending time with his wife and three children on the water catching redfish, snook and trout.  In fact, he would be on his boat every weekend if the tides were right!  He aims to instill his enthusiasm for fishing within his 4-year old son, who serves as the perfect co-captain when navigating the Florida Gulf Coast.

Project management is system of options that continually change. From managing concept development, to design, and into construction, successful project management requires continual critical thinking as every day brings change. Stuart takes his experience as an engineer and project manager from over 30 years of work in public and private sectors.  As a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point, a decorated combat veteran, licensed commercial multi-engine and rotary wing pilot, Public Works Director, and successful small business owner, Stuart is adept at developing and translating projects with ever-changing circumstances into practical life.

Stuart is a licensed professional engineer in several states, a Florida Certified General Contractor, and accredited as LEED BC+D. He has a Bachelor of Science degree from West Point and a Master’s Degree from the University of South Florida.

Stuart enjoys what he does. He enjoys the daily challenge of managing people and client expectations in engineering, construction, and project management. No project is the same, and every project will have at least one difficult decision point. The challenge is to build the correct framework for each project and to constantly manage options to minimize those difficult decision points. Stuart’s lives by the Army Mantra of “Mission First, People Always”.

Stuart is an outdoorsman. He enjoys spending time together with his wife and three daughters, especially on their visits to the Northeast Georgia Mountains, where they share good times with friends hiking, white water rafting and other adventures. Stuart is not one to sit still for long. He has boundless energy, so if he is sitting still something is wrong…unless of course he’s fishing!
