Later he earned his Bachelor of Civil Engineering and Master of City Planning degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology. After serving two
years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, he became registered as both a land surveyor in the state of Georgia and a professional engineer in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Idaho.
In 1965, after his honorable discharge from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, he began working full-time with his father at Marbury Engineering Company. He served as Vice President and later as President and CEO of Marbury Engineering Company until the merger of his company with EMC Engineering Services, Inc., in 2004. For the next five years, he served as a Senior Vice President and West Georgia Division Director of that company.
After retiring from EMC Engineering Services, Mr. Marbury worked with SRJ Engineering and as a private consultant until he accepted a position as City Engineer with the City of Cordele, Georgia. At the time of this writing, he has been with the City of Cordele, Georgia, for almost eight years and continues working there. He loves his work and has enjoyed working with every company with which he has been associated.
As a past national chair of the Quality Management Committee for ACEC (the American Consulting Engineer's Council, now known as the American Council of Engineering Companies), he helped in the preparation of the Quality Assessment Workbook published by ACEC in 1995. He has conducted seminars on planning and leadership for various organizations. These include the China Association for Science and Technology in Beijing, China; the national meeting of the Consulting Engineers Small Firm Coalition in Denver, Colorado; the NSPE Professional Edge Conference in Houston,
