HES, Dallas
Jared Edwards began his career as a mechanical engineer on high-profile international security and mission critical projects in Los Alamos and Sandia, N.M. He continued on to a health care engineering firm, where he was lead mechanical engineer on the first LEED Silver hospital in North Texas. Edwards then took a job at a small struggling office of a large engineering firm, where he developed the business, adding several clients and contributing to a doubling of office revenue.
At 38, he became CEO of HES, specializing in general and architectural engineering for health care facilities and offices.
“Making HES one of the best places to work consistently every year is the key to successful operations. Growing the character and performance of the firm is the key to successful business,” he says.
Edwards completed graduate studies at Westminster Theological Seminary while working full-time as an engineer.
