Burns & McDonnell has named Rafael Pagan as a project manager on its regional transmission and distribution team in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Pagan will oversee a team of power delivery engineers focused on design and execution of substation and transmission projects.
“The Mid-Atlantic region continues to upgrade aging infrastructure and at the same time, has a growing demand for power,” said John Olander, Burns & McDonnell president and Transmission & Distribution general manager. “Adding to the local presence in the Washington, D.C., area increases our ability to better serve our clients. Rafael has the strong technical knowledge and project management experience to grow our local team and help provide solutions from concept to completion.”
Pagan has more than 10 years of experience in high-voltage transmission, substations and distribution systems. He’s managed, developed and engineered projects across the U.S. ranging from 13-kV to 500-kV, with individual values exceeding $25 million.
“Rafael has worked for and with major utility companies throughout the Mid-Atlantic, giving him a deep understanding of the region’s infrastructure needs, challenges and regulations,” said Jeff Ganthner, general manager of Burns & McDonnell Mid-Atlantic offices. “His consulting, project management and design abilities make him a strong addition to our expanding team.”
