Mitchell Lampley, PE, CEM

Director of Engineer and Tech Support

 I attended Vanderbilt engineering school on a Navy ROTC scholarship from 1986-1990 and received my BE in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation I entered the US Navy and attended Navy Nuclear Power School to become a Nuclear Power Officer aboard the USS Virginia (CGN-38) a nuclear powered cruiser. I held various positions aboard ship and had responsibility for plant chemistry and one of the two mechanical engine room divisions. After my active duty commitment, I moved to Oak Ridge, TN to become a Shift Technical Advisor at the Y-12 Security Complex. I provided engineering support for the uranium enrichment division of Y-12. After 18 months, I was able to move back to Nashville area (home) and take a job with Square D Company (Electrical Equipment Manufacturer). I held several jobs during my tenure at Square D including Design Engineer, Electrical Design Team Leader, Software Test Lab Supervisor, Project Quality Manager and Market Specialist. During the 11 years with Square D, I also became a registered Professional Engineer in TN and a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and was awarded a patent by the US Patent Office. I started at Vanderbilt in 2008 as the Plant Engineer and was promoted to Director of Engineering and Technical Support 6 months later.
