Christopher Keaney
Steve made Helical a wonderful place to co-op for the six months I spent working under him. He was eager to teach me about the industry and would give me valuable feedback on my work which enabled me to consistently improve over my time there. He understood the value of the co-op experience to me, and would continually check in to make sure that I was getting exposure to what I wanted to know more about in the industry. Above all, Steve gave me the autonomy to work on projects to improve the Design Center's process overall, trusting me to work diligently and interpret his instructions as I saw fit to work towards a common end goal.

Mar 2017 - Present
- Managed the Design Center, leading a group of engineers to provide preliminary and final design support to project managers and construction staff. Served as a primary resource for design-related questions about Geopier ground improvement solutions. - Accelerated company growth (20% average annual growth rate and 200%+ increase in annual sales between 2017 and 2021) by establishing a structured approach to design that produces consistent and repeatable results and providing robust training and mentorship for new hires. - Increased design capacity over the first two years (+110% design submittals and +178% total volume of work completed) by identifying workflow inefficiencies, implementing standard practices, and building checklists and design templates. - Improved the project sales process by developing a comprehensive project evaluation system and preparing detailed/innovative preliminary designs that help project managers win more projects. - Improved company synergy and collaboration by developing the Design Center into a centralized hub, providing design and construction support to project managers and construction personnel through all stages of a project. - Made Helical more competitive in the market by enabling rigid inclusion slab support. Led the development of a design method using finite element analysis via Plaxis 2D and RAM Elements. - Boosted company scalability by streamlining the design process. Developed complex/adaptable spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel enhanced with VBA coding. Incorporated the use of various geotechnical design software such as Settle3 and Slide2. - Developed new standards and training to provide design support for non-ground improvement techniques (micropiles, helical piles, DIPs), allowing project managers to have a greater focus on sales. - Streamlined the preparation of preliminary layouts, submittal drawings, and installation tracking by converting paper-based systems to a computerized system utilizing AutoCAD 2D.
