How We Work

Our work consists of challenges. We teach and test you to best succeed on each work assignment. Your work is candidly vetted in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Our servant-leaders empower teams to maximize their potential at the individual level. They steer projects toward successful client outcomes. They celebrate team member contributions that drove client satisfaction.

Salas O’Brien/Nelson Engineering Co. has pioneered flexible work settings since our founding. To start, you report to our Merritt Island office to apply knowledge, accomplish tasks, and engage our company culture. We evaluate performance based on results, not optics. Successful team members unlock opportunities for themselves including preferred candidacy for new challenges and flexible work permissions. Our robust work-from-home policy is available to every employee.

Our belief: love what you do – do what you love. Our mission: provide technical professionals rewarding careers while striving for a healthy work-personal life balance. Our leaders serve that mission each and every day.

As a senior member of the engineering staff it is my responsibility to lead and mentor junior staff”

Work Hard Then Play

Employee Fun Day

Check out our recent employee event at the Drive Shack in Orlando.

Every one of us has important jobs. We get work done by deadlines, then unwind. Our office has a gymnasium including a full sized basketball court and an attached strength training studio. We make time to have fun with events that foster camaraderie among our staff. 

Salas O’Brien/Nelson Engineering Co. plans two marque events each year. Our Spring Party is an informal gathering with colleagues, friends and family. We play music, prepare great food, and celebrate the benefits of our coastal Florida lifestyle. The December Holiday Party is our formal gathering, full of surprises you need to experience to understand best.

We use sports as an outlet for our competitive edge. Golf, basketball, and flag football, just to name a few. We welcome your participation and leadership of our teams. Bring your skills and add another league championship.
