ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE
Becky Sipes, EI
Becky grew up on a farm in southern New Mexico, watching her parents adapt and modernize in response to ever increasing regulatory challenges, critical water shortages, and stark international competition. Engineering seemed a natural transition from the farm, and after college she worked with the Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration developing over 15 years of experience in nuclear safety, quality assurance, and hazardous materials packaging and transportation. After some time working on government projects, she decided it was time to get back to her roots, working in a small business where there is room to innovate and create lasting solutions.
Expertise
Becky is knowledgeable of the hazardous materials packaging and transportation regulations, risk assessments, and safety basis evaluations. She works closely with professional engineers managing projects, developing contact documents, technical specifications, engineering reports, and navigating various governing authorities, requirements, and processes.
