John S. Haldane is the Chief Technical Officer of B&W Energy Services and one of the founding members. John has 26 years of experience in the pre-commissioning, commissioning & operational cleaning industry in a wide variety of industrial sectors.

A graduate mechanical engineer from Clarkson University, John began his career as a Field Engineer for a large industrial cleaning company. Through hard work, dedication and technical experience, he rose to the position of Engineer in Charge. During that time, he managed several regional bases for the company, earning the respect of the people in the organization by showing great command of each project. Financial and safety goals were achieved and client satisfaction rose under his guidance.

John was then selected by the company, over many other candidates, to head up the company’s new venture into Nuclear Services. Under a teaming agreement with the largest nuclear equipment manufacturer, multiple multi-million dollar projects were executed on time and within budget restraints. Included in this endeavor was the design and functional testing of a brand new fleet of specialized equipment. Under John’s leadership, this group flourished and became a team in which many of the company’s most distinguished employees wanted to become a part of.

It was after this period when John focused in on pre-commissioning activities. Taking on another new role, he quickly became efficient in engineering these activities and learning many new codes and standards associated with these activities. This is the time period when the founding members of B&W Energy Services were introduced to one another and shortly afterwards the new company was formed.

In the early years of B&W Energy Services, John was instrumental in developing the specialized equipment and also with the execution of the precommissioning activities in the field. He developed a network with owner & engineering company pre-commissioning personnel that would become a very loyal group of B&W clients.
