Aaron P. Shroyer, MBA
Aaron P. Shroyer has 20+ years of experience as a manager and senior team lead in varies technology and engineering industries. Aaron served honorably in the United States Navy as an Avionics Technician and shop supervisor and held a Secret Security Clearance. Aaron led and trained junior sailors in troubleshooting and implementation. Aaron was key in implementing the NAVY’s first “AIRSPEED” program, which is the Navy’s version of Six Sigma and Lean process management. These results led to an increase in shop productivity and by the end of Aaron’s Naval career, oversaw a team of 40 technicians responsible for troubleshooting and repairing over $15 billion worth of advanced avionics for the US Navy.
Aaron attended Kansas State University and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering. During his stay Aaron held two internships working for a company named Delta Microwave and Burns & McDonnell. While working for Delta Microwaves Aaron reversed engineered and created a troubleshooting matrix with schematics and parts layout which resulted in an expedited way for technicians to trouble shoot and fix Raytheon’s amplifying filters for guided missiles. Aaron was then responsible for training the technicians on how to use the matrix. This effort resulted in isolate the constraints and repaired the entire backlog of faulty Raytheon’s amplifier filters. Aaron’s trouble shooting matrix became a standard operating procedure within Delta Microwaves.
While working as an intern at Burns & McDonnell as a telecommunications engineer, Aaron created a new alarm manual for various substations and microwave stations which held a comprehensive list of all possible fault conditions for Pepco Holdings Inc. and how the operator should handle the faults. This led to an increase in system reliability and dependability meeting NERC requirements. This effort led to Burns & McDonnell hiring Aaron full time.
After graduation from electrical engineering, Aaron spent over 10 years working as the senior team lead consultant engineer for some of the nation’s top Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms; BMcD and Sargent & Lundy. Aaron built and oversaw multiple teams of engineers developing major power infrastructures in green-field and brown-field projects ranging from distribution level 12.8 kV & 34.5 kV to high voltage and extra high voltage up to 500 kV. Aaron’s successful leadership led to completing these projects on time and under budget for some of the largest public utility companies in the USA. Aaron also has vast experience the renewable energy space with over 1,600 MW of projects in Wind, Solar, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Notable projects include Hot Pot Solar and BESS project which was a 350 MW solar project with a 280 MW BESS, and its sister project Iron Point which was a 250 MW solar project with a 200 MW BESS. At the time, the combined size ranks these projects as the largest BESS projects in development in the US.
As his career developed, Aaron wanted to become not only a technical expert, but in addition a more versatile business executive. In late 2019, while working full time, Aaron was accepted in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s MBA program with an emphasis in business analytics, entrepreneurship, and strategic innovation. Aaron Graduated in May 2022. Aaron joined SEPMI in January 2022.
Aaron’s lifetime cultural commitment to climate change drove him to integrate leading technology and managed the process for producing Hydrogen with Solar energy. This process was developed to maximize synergies and growth opportunities to produce green hydrogen. Aaron built SEPMI’s portfolio of renewable projects and continues to build the R&D division of SEPMI.
