David J. Stewart, P.E.

Director
EMCOR Government Services

 

Value Delivered

David serves as the field project managers’ primary link to EGS’s corporate support structure. For sites throughout the eastern United States and in the Caribbean, his team provides the responsiveness and expertise required to meet clients’ most demanding requirements on large, multi-function facility operations contracts. David’s exacting oversight begins with the proposal development, bid review and phase-in activities, and continues through delivery of contracted services. While the contracts vary in scope, they typically cover a wide range of services, including transportation, operations and maintenance, facility repair and maintenance, family and transient housing operations, grounds maintenance, pest control, custodial services, security, refuse disposal and environmental services.

 

Expertise

David joined EMCOR after gaining nearly 30 years of engineering, facilities management, construction and leadership experience with the U.S. Navy. A retired naval officer, he held a succession of increasingly demanding positions in a variety of Navy and Marine Corps public works and contracting organizations, serving on both operational and Washington, D.C. staffs, as well as on multiple tours with the Seabees.

 

Highlights of his distinguished career include tenure as public works officer/resident officer in charge of construction for the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia. There, his duties consisted of overseeing the base’s comprehensive renewal, a project that demanded aggressive master planning and extensive construction work. He also served as director of contracts for the Northern Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. In this post, he managed annual contracts valued at over $450 million per year across nine northeastern states. In addition, he was commanding officer of Amphibious Construction Battalion Two in Norfolk, Virginia, where he led his team to new levels of readiness, while expanding their operational capability. Other positions included: principal engineering advisor to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., and director of Seabee Readiness and Total Force for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Washington, D.C. In this latter role, he planned, programmed and executed a $2-billion material renewal program for Navy expeditionary forces, and crafted and implemented comprehensive workforce-shaping strategies for the global NAVFAC workforce of 18,000.

 

David holds bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering from the University of Southern California and in business management from the University of Maryland. He also has master’s degrees in civil engineering, with an emphasis on structural engineering, from Stanford University, and in national security studies from the National Defense University’s Industrial College of the Armed Forces. In addition, he is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management Advanced Executive Program. He is a registered professional engineer (civil) in California, and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Chi Epsilon.
