Home / News & Insights / Mechanical Engineering Chief Matt Ford Receives Engdahl Award
Matt Ford, Haskell’s Chief Mechanical Engineer, is the 2020 winner of the company’s Engdahl Award, given annually to a Haskell employee who has provided leadership and made significant contributions to design excellence.
Ford joined Haskell 14 years ago as an assistant project manager in the Steel Shop and then became a design engineer before assuming his current role.
“Matt's dedication has elevated the quality of work in the discipline, added consistency to deliverables, and made resource sharing throughout the company seamless,” his nominators wrote.
Ford was cited for numerous contributions, including:
He was chosen from a field of five shortlisted nominees that also comprised Ramon Ramirez, Design Manager in the Mexico City office; Bob Streets, a Senior Mechanical Engineer in the Industrial Fee for Service group in Oklahoma City; Chris Flagg, AE Group Operations Principal for the Infrastructure & Transportation Group in Jacksonville, Florida; and Ron Garnett, Corporate Illustrator in Jacksonville.
The Engdahl Award recognizes a Haskell employee who has provided leadership and made significant contributions to design excellence. Nominations are judged on design leadership, creativity and innovation, client service, staff development, contributions to quality processes/outcomes, and the furtherance of integration.
Haskell’s Architectural and Engineering (AE) practice comprises 659 team members, including 216 licensed design professionals who hold a total of 1,128 total licenses. It will produce more than $100 million in revenue in 2020.
The Engdahl Award is named for Dave Engdahl, Haskell’s former Chief Architect and AE Practice leader. It was established upon his retirement in 2007 to honor his 28 of years design leadership. Here is a list of past winners:
2008: Peter Skirbst
