Neil Jones - Steampath Engineer, Repairs Division
I graduated from The University of Missouri – Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. I started my career working as a Process Engineer for a large brewery, focusing on heat recovery initiatives. I also worked as a Packaging Engineer, consulting for various consumer product companies. None of my previous experience has been nearly as rewarding as working in the power generation industry.
After a steam turbine unit experienced a catastrophic failure event, MD&A was called upon to complete a comprehensive and rapid steam turbine replacement project, with a one (1) year start date. The key elements of this successful plan included reducing manufacturing lead time, coordinating equipment shipping, utilizing MD&A’s extensive in-house capabilities, and overall extensive project management and planning.
