Ryan Baird has led multi-discipline teams through projects and pre-DHSR inspections while being the engineer of record on projects since 2015. He has consistently led electrical engineering standards at each stage of his career, and has often shared knowledge with more experienced engineers. Ryan has earned a reputation for providing excellent electrical engineering leadership, including assisting clients in diagnosing uncommon intermittent electrical issues and providing master assessments with information valuable to upper management.
He began accumulating experience with healthcare engineering and power systems studies upon starting his career in 2010 at Coordinated Power Systems and then at Caveo (acquired by SES). He fell in love with Architectural Engineering and has an AE degree focused on electrical systems from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Ryan proved his commitment to excellence early by leading his collegiate NECA/EI Green Energy Challenge team to win the national championship in 2010 and helped the next team win in 2011.
