Congratulations Andy Boss!

Andy Boss has been announced as the Director of Surveying, following the retirement of Chris Fergus last week. Mr. Boss has spent the past 29 years working in various roles in the Survey Department and is one of four owners of Boss Engineering Company. He is carrying on a strong tradition as the third generation of professional surveyors in the family, following his grandfather, Oscar Boss, P.S. and his father, Gary R. Boss, P.E., P.S. His uncles Wayne and Bryan were also professional surveyors, and his uncle Mike was a professional engineer.

Andy graduated from Howell High School in 1988 and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Grand Valley State University in 1993. He joined Boss Engineering in February 1997. After serving in multiple positions in the Survey Department for over 20 years, Andy went back to school at Ferris State University, where he completed all educational requirements to become a surveyor in 2024. He passed the state examination in June of 2025 and became licensed as a Professional Surveyor in the State of Michigan.

Boss Engineering was started in 1969 by Gary R. Boss. Gary Boss was an Engineer and Surveyor and had help from his father Oscar and brothers, Wayne, Bryan, Michael and Dan. Today Boss Engineering is a multi-faceted Civil Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architectural firm serving public and private sector clients.

Congratulations Christopher S. Fergus, P.S. for retiring after 45 years with Boss Engineering!

Chris Fergus has announced his retirement from Boss Engineering, effective May 8, 2026. Mr. Fergus initially joined the survey department at Boss Engineering in April of 1979. It is rumored that he was recruited not only to help out in surveying, but also for his athletic skills so he could play on the company basketball and softball teams. He has held multiple positions in the company, including Operations Manager of the previous Oakland County office and most recently as the Director of Surveying. He has also served as a Senior Associate for the past two decades.

There was a brief gap in Chris’ employment in the early 1980s. He returned to Boss Engineering in May of 1985 and has spent his career leading, mentoring and caring for his fellow employees. In retirement, Chris intends to travel some with his wife Gisele and spend more time with his grandchildren. The Boss Engineering family wishes Chris and Gisele a healthy and happy retirement.
