Baltimore, Md. – RMF Engineering has appointed a new partner out of the firm’s Raleigh, North Carolina office: Barney York, PE, CBCxP, MBA. York’s appointment comes after his accomplishments in successfully growing the North Carolina office’s commissioning team and building the firm’s reputation for excellence in commissioning services over the past seven years.
“Each of our partners has demonstrated an outstanding level of skill and proven themselves to be a key member of the strategic leadership team,” said Duane Pinnix, president and CEO of RMF. “Barney’s dedication to the success and growth of our firm’s commissioning services is unrivaled and we’re looking forward to seeing his skills grow in this new role.”
As partner, York will continue to grow RMF’s commissioning portfolio not only in North Carolina but across the entire corporation – with a focus in the Southeast region.
York is a commissioning team leader who has been with RMF for 15 years. He specializes in the commissioning of complex building and infrastructure facilities and leads RMF’s southeastern U.S. based commissioning team, which specializes in new, re- and retro-commissioning of buildings and campus infrastructure systems.
York has been actively involved in educating the construction industry on maximizing the value gained to projects through strategic commissioning and has worked with North Carolina’s legislature to establish commissioning requirements for all state-owned facilities. He has commissioned a number of notable projects including the North Carolina Museum of Art, Reagan National Airport, Raleigh-Durham International Airport and the North Carolina State University Yarbrough chilled water plant.
Recently, York earned his master of business administration from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in the top 10 percent of his class. He is a registered professional engineer and certified building commissioning provider.
