HPE announced the recent appointment of Douglas Geist, P.E., to the position of Vice President of Project Development. Geist is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado, with over 19 years of experience in construction and design. Prior to joining the firm, he served as the Director of ME Services for a major general contractor in Colorado.
Geist’s leadership and extensive background in mechanical systems design and analysis, conceptual estimating, construction techniques and identification of cost saving options, will strengthen HPE’s preconstruction and estimating services. With a large percentage of HPE’s work being negotiated and/or contracted under a guaranteed maximum price, the preconstruction efforts are a significant part of HPE’s successful work program.
HPE announced the recent appointment of Jennifer Dion to the position of Estimating and Marketing Coordinator. Dion’s experience encompasses an extensive 16 year background in marketing, within the Engineering and General Contracting industry. A Colorado native, Dion has recently returned from Washington D.C. where she was employed by a large MEP Engineering firm as the Marketing Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic/ Southeast Region. Her specific expertise is in Customer Relationship Management, Program Development and Implementation, as well as Branding and Identity.
As the marketing director, Jenny will oversee all of the company marketing activities. She is responsible for collateral, advertising, public and media relations and other promotional marketing strategy and implementation. She is also responsible for developing marketing processes such as CRM, and proposal writing and conducting marketing research on markets, competitors, and industry trends. Jenny will also be working closely with the IT department on website development and presentation.
http://www… Hello World!
08/04/2008
Mirror, Mirror on the web… who has a whole new face for the digital age? Heating & Plumbing Engineers does! A new website representing HPE’s contemporary evolution. This website is more than just a calling card or a pretty face to impress our friends. It will be a central hub for data, communication, and a resource designed to respond to the needs of every individual. It is HPE’s goal that field and office personnel will utilize and appreciate this tool. Returning visitors will likely notice a difference in appearance, as well as the (.PDF) formatting used to replace Excel, scanned documents, and other cumbersome methods; making for easier management on work issues from external locations, including your home.
Utilities are added for ease of communications, as well as Portfolio submissions, job opportunities, discussion tools, and file sharing. Furthermore, “WordPress” is a user friendly interface used to update the website in a timely manner. Designed for people that are not involved with coding languages, it is the same tool used to post to blogs. With this resource at hand, visitors are not stuck with pages that display data pertaining to a decade ago. HPE news will be updated with the simple submission of a post to the website.
