Department of Energy contractor North Wind Group is splitting management of its expanded eastern region of operations into northern and southern sectors.
North Wind manager Brent Clark will take over as northeast region manager, covering Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Delaware, and Wisconsin. He will remain in his position as deputy project manager and performance integration manager for Portsmouth Mission Alliance, according to an Aug. 8 North Wind press release.
Jeff Scott, North Wind’s eastern region manager since 2012, will assume the position of southeast region manager, covering Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Under Scott’s management, the eastern region “has experienced significant growth and success,” North Wind spokeswoman Anne Smith said Friday by email. “In order to sustain the continued growth and provide operational support throughout the region, North Wind made the strategic decision to split the region into two regions.”
Mark Swantko will be business development manager for both eastern regions.
The management update is intended to ensure North Wind can serve its growing list of clients in the eastern United States, President and CEO Chris Leichtweis said in the release. He noted that the company has a new office in Chelmsford, Mass., and plans to open another office in Morgantown, W.Va., by the end of 2017.
North Wind is one of the parent companies of Portsmouth Mission Alliance, which in 2016 secured a five-year, $139.7 million infrastructure support services contract at DOE’s Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Ohio. It has a presence at a number of other DOE locations, including the Idaho Site and Oak Ridge Site in Tennessee.
