Check out the Q&A below to discover one of Jeremy’s most memorable projects, what he finds most fulfilling in his job, and advice he would give to an up-and-coming engineer professional.
Tell me about one of your favorite projects at HEAPY.
“Some of my favorite projects have been the over 12 geothermal projects that I have had the opportunity to be involved with. I was fortunate enough to work on these projects early in my career, becoming one of the office geothermal experts. It was great to have that special learning opportunity. Another project I really enjoyed was Christ Liberty Medical Center. It is something I get to see every time I drive to the Dayton office and my kids are better able to understand what their dad does.”
What aspect of your job do you find most fulfilling?
“What I enjoy most about my job is helping clients to find solutions to challenges. This comes in many forms, from providing a solution to a client that improves the operation of their chilled water plant to helping colleagues gain experience in something they have limited exposure to.”
What is one piece of advice you would give to an up-and-coming engineering professional?
“I have benefited tremendously in my career from my involvement with professional societies, specifically ASHRAE. I am a very active volunteer on both the local and society level and I have gained so much more than I have given. The virtuous cycle that all participants gain from these collaborative organizations is amazing. My advice to an up-and-coming engineer is to get involved in professional organizations. It will do more to help you and your career than you anticipate.”
