Mark Ivey Email & Phone Number

As a skilled engineering leader with 24 years of experience managing mechanical engineering projects, my areas of expertise include designing and developing products, leading engineering teams, and ensuring successful system design, build, and commissioning. With a background in collaborating cross-functionally with multiple departments to efficiently drive product delivery, I maintain an in-depth knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, materials, manufacturing processes, and regulatory standards. Leveraging excellent verbal and written communication skills, I build cohesion between organizational departments, resolve client issues, provide technical guidance to staff, and drive project completion within established timelines. I hold a master’s in system engineering and engineering management and am on track to obtain fluid power certification.
