Bio
Mark Hadlum
I am extremely pleased to write this recommendation for Robert Stevens. Robert and I have worked collaboratively at Edwards Vacuum and I have found him to be a great asset professionally and technically whenever I’ve required help. We worked in the USA and UK evaluating, developing working practices, migrating data and training during our global CAD roll out project. Rob was our Subject Matter Expert and the go-to person for supporting CAD at Niagara and Hillsboro offices. He also supported our Adobe Data Protection software for encrypting our drawings as PDFs. During the many years that I have worked with Robert, I have had the opportunity to observe his interpersonal skills in motivating and providing leadership. I would describe him as a dedicated and determined individual who has great presence at meetings. He is a multitasker and deadline driven to achieve a quality product.

Rob Helped support our SHE and security programs through his engineering expertise by researching creative ways to improve upon the risks found in the work environment. Rob helped design a safe solution for taking 3-D photo images of systems.
