Sought After Engineering Leaders Joins the Guernsey Team, Bringing Decades of Experience to Oklahoma

Guernsey welcomes the addition of Eric R. Taylor, PE, LEED AP, to its team of experienced engineers. With over twenty-one years of experience in mechanical engineering, Eric brings a wealth of knowledge and international expertise to Guernsey.

“I am thrilled to welcome Eric to our team. His expertise and experience are invaluable, and they are magnified by his authentic interpersonal skills. He will contribute real strength to Guernsey, our clients, and our Oklahoma communities,” said Jeff Napoliello, Senior Vice President and Director of the Design Group. “I look forward to learning from him and collaborating to grow our teams and deliver to our clients the value add and top-notch service they have come to expect from Guernsey.”

Before joining Guernsey, Mr. Taylor served as Senior Mechanical Engineer, Design Manager, Section Head, and Project Manager at Black & Veatch’s Federal Division in Overland Park, Kansas and Arlington, Virginia. Eric led mechanical and multidisciplined AE teams throughout the nation and abroad. However, Mr. Taylor’s roots run deep in Oklahoma: many years ago, he called OKC home, serving as a process and facilities engineer within the Maintenance Wing at Tinker Air Force Base. For those first six years of his engineering career, he managed non-destructive inspection of critical jet engine rotating hardware, designed facility modifications, and managed a $15-million maintenance contract.

“I am very familiar with Guernsey’s reputation for strong service and a value-driven culture,” said Eric Taylor. “It is important as my family moved back to Oklahoma that I found a 100% employee-owned company eager to grow with me, value the family and work-life balance, and leverage my broad organizational and leadership experience to make a lasting difference in the company, AEC industry, and broader community. I’ve found that place in Guernsey.”

At Guernsey, Mr. Taylor will lead a multi-disciplined team of engineers as Vice President and Design Group Director over Engineering. As a seasoned engineer and leader of teams, Eric will broaden Guernsey’s ability to bring enhanced value and innovative solutions to clients and communities.
