Natick, MA (June 29, 2026) – Atlanta-based Lowe Engineers (Lowe), a respected name in engineering, land surveying, and geospatial consulting, has officially joined the MacKay family, giving the company its first real footprint in the region and a launchpad for what’s next.

Since 1957, Lowe has spent nearly seven decades earning trust across the Southeast through close client relationships and dependable technical work. That track record now anchors MacKay’s new Southeast region, and the people who built it aren’t going anywhere: Josh Daniel, Richard Meehan, Jonathan Gazaway, and Jason Combs remain at the helm, carrying forward the relationships and expertise that made Lowe a name clients counted on.

“Lowe has built an outstanding reputation over nearly seven decades, and just as importantly, they have built a culture rooted in relationships, technical excellence, and service,” said Derrick Smith, Chief Executive Officer of MacKay. “We are excited to welcome the Lowe team to MacKay and look forward to building the future together.”

“As we considered the future of Lowe Engineers, finding the right path forward was our highest priority,” said Bill Daniel, Partner at Lowe Engineers. “With the guidance of Morrissey Goodale and Jon Escobar, we thoughtfully evaluated our options and ultimately found the right fit in MacKay. What stood out to us was the strong alignment of values, their commitment to people and clients, and their vision for the future. We are excited about the opportunities this creates for our employees, our clients, and the communities we serve.”
