Farris Engineering welcomed Chad McCarthy as Senior Plumbing Designer the beginning of this year. He brings over 17 years of experience to the mechanical engineering team. Chad earned his associates degree in architectural technology from Southeast Community College. Since then, he has been designing plumbing systems for health care, hospitality, and commercial projects. Most recently his projects have included senior living facilities, multi-use buildings and large multi-family projects.

Chad holds both a Certified Plumbing Design (CPD) and a Green Plumbing Design (GPD) certificate through the American Society of Plumbing Engineers. Those who attain these certifications are leaders within the industry and have advanced skills in the design and specification of plumbing systems.

“I came to work for Farris Engineering for the opportunity for new challenges and diversity of project types,” Chad said. “I’m excited to be a part of the engineering design team that bring your buildings to life.”

Aside from work, Chad enjoys riding motorcycles, 4 wheelers, going camping and spending time with his children, wife and grandkids. He also enjoys just hanging out at his house and using his Green Mountain smoker.
