Soaring to New Heights With Douglas P. Matern, PE

OIA_C_009August 17, 2023 - In an article published in Business Focus Magazine, Matern Professional Engineering Founder and CEO Douglas P. Matern was profiled for his firm’s signature work at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Matern’s work for the airport commenced decades ago when he was part of a team contracted to construct a new airport for the busy Florida city. The firm’s work at MCO has continued, entailing installing the airport’s Automated People Mover (APM) facility, as well as the Brightline high-speed rail.

“A growth mentality has been a key element in the success and sustainability of Matern Professional Engineering and for Doug during his 48+ year career,” the article said. “Doug has created a culture where every team member embodies his can-do attitude, being the first to say ‘let me see what I can do’ to every customer’s request.”

“As Orlando International Airport continues to handle record-setting passenger totals, it is vital that airport improvement efforts keep pace with our traffic,” said Kevin Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA). “Terminal C is the future of transportation in Central Florida and its multimodal connectivity will increase our capacity to accommodate projected future demand.”
