Smith will continue interfacing with his design engineering team with coaching, mentoring and quality control checking as he begins with his transition from full-time employment in December, to an as-needed basis in the spring and continuing into the summer of 2025.

Smith is a graduate of Wilson High School in West Lawn, and Berks Vocational Technical School in Leesport.

Smith expanded his career into the consulting engineering field working at Gilbert Associates Inc. in Green Hills, where future Entech Engineering Associates founders Tom McMahon, Bill McMahon (unrelated), and Daniel Castellani had also worked.

While at Gilbert, Smith was briefly assigned to the Municipal Water/Wastewater Division, the Nuclear Pipe Support Group, and a two-year field assignment at Carpenter Technology in Reading.

In January 1987, Daniel Castellani asked Smith to join his small engineering firm. His expertise in facility layouts, process piping, HVAC, plumbing and fire protection were a complement to Entech’s growing design capabilities.

The Entech Civil/Environmental Resources (CER) business unit was created when Entech moved into the municipal market, beginning in 1996 with the City of Reading Water Bureau.

A City of Reading “project island” was created at Entech. Smith and other Entech professionals provided concept layouts, detailed design, and construction oversight of 142 individual projects. This municipal water work design quickly expanded into municipal wastewater, civil design, and industrial water/wastewater fields, which ultimately resulted in the opening of six additional branch offices within Pennsylvania.

Smith became a shareholder in 1996 and assisted with building the CER Municipal Design Team by adding drafters, designers, and design engineers, who all collaborate with Smith.

A resident of Heidelberg Township in Berks County, Smith currently serves as a Consistory Elder of St. John’s Reformed Church in Sinking Spring, and continues to provide community service as a former trustee and current property committee member by providing his expertise with oversight on a current capital campaign design and pending construction project.
