Precis Engineering, Inc. has hired mechanical engineers Michael A. Ferguson, LEED AP, and Keith Shannon to support an influx of pharmaceutical and central utility plant projects. The new employees started October 24 and 31, respectively.
Michael Ferguson brings technical sales and engineering skills in project management, cost estimating, HVAC design and analysis, machining, and LEED compliance. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology from New Mexico State University and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation. A member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Ferguson has served on the organization’s New Mexico Chapter Board of Governors and as chair of multiple activities, including the 2010 National Summer Meeting. He will assist the Precis team with new business development and general mechanical engineering responsibilities. Ferguson was previously employed with Sigler, Inc. in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“Michael’s early career working with owners and engineering consultants as an HVAC equipment representative impacts his understanding of technical solutions to challenging project requirements,” said Precis Principal Larry Gadbois, PE. “His balance of technical proficiency and first-hand mechanical experience helps him effectively communicate design issues and technologies to clients, while offering insights for our mechanical project team.”
Keith Shannon graduated in June from Drexel University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He will leverage multiple internship experiences in which he served as a quality control engineer, field technician, and general contractor to inform his project work with Precis.
“Keith will immediately contribute to Precis’ client work by assisting with calculations and analyses, computer modeling, and field surveys,” said Gadbois. “We look forward to his growth and development as an engineer on our team.”
