“When I think of MTC’s Core Values, there is no need to look further than Tim to find the best example,” says Nick Fransted, P.E., Vice President, and Renewable Energy Division Manager at MTC. “He truly is a team member you can trust in giving you a thoughtful response even if it takes extra time, like that often needed to explore those obscure questions from clients. His reflective personality allows him to remain true to himself, which coincides with his exceptional service to project teams. Having his variety of experiences at MTC and outstanding Excel skills, you can always count on Tim to be there.”
As Tim steps into his new role, his primary goal for the West Michigan CMET Division is clear: “I want us to become a trusted partner to each client by continuously holding to our quality standards and providing prompt communication and service. I’d also like to find ways to help each of our employees advance in their job knowledge and skills to progress in their role at MTC.”
