ACI Mechanical and HVAC Sales is pleased to announce Jessica Smith as the newest sales engineer at ACI Mechanical and HVAC Sales Oregon. General Manager Richard Luna is expanding sales coverage in the fast-growing Portland market area, and Smith is a perfect fit with her strong foundation in the commercial HVAC community.

"This is an exciting time for ACI Oregon. Jessica's experience in commercial HVAC and air distribution experience is unparalleled," said Keith Glasch, president and principal at ACI.

"Using my field experience, mechanical engineering degree, and market knowledge in Oregon is my main goal," said Smith. "I love solving complex problems for engineers and contractors; this is the perfect role for me."

Smith has 12 years of commercial HVAC experience, working both with mechanical contractors and manufacturers representatives. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, at 18 she decided to move to California where her experience began. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in construction management and mechanical engineering from California State University - Sacramento. Her experience in commercial HVAC and air distribution really took off when she started working for Norman S. Wright Mechanical Equipment Co. in California.

"Looking after Mechanical Contractors became a passion of mine," said Smith. "Working for Sheet Metal and Mechanical Contractors, then serving their equipment needs really gave me the insight on the needs of these customers."

As the sales engineer on each project, Smith will provide leadership in the project coordination with her experience in preconstruction, estimating, design build, project management, and HVAC equipment sales. She wants to provide an incredible relationship focused on meeting the needs of the company's customers and having a successful project for everyone involved.
