Proven where it counts — in the field
Our field leadership has spent nearly three decades on power plant construction, commissioning and initial operations — roughly half in construction, half in commissioning and start-up — including years on the OEM and owner's side of the table.
That experience spans centerline and balance-of-plant equipment from the industry's leading manufacturers:
Field leadership credentials
- B.E. Marine Engineering (ABET accredited)
- USCG-licensed Chief Engineer, motor vessels
- OEM-trained: Siemens/Westinghouse field service, P&W FT8, Wärtsilä O&M, ABB Advant DCS
- OSHA 10 & 30
