About Taylor Maxwell

Passionate Project Engineer and Senior Mechanical Engineer specializing in Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) projects spanning dairies, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants, with additional expertise in pipeline engineering and utility interconnects. I lead the design and execution of gas upgrading facilities, manure management systems, and transmission infrastructure through EPC, progressive design-build, and front-end studies, taking projects from concept through commissioning.In addition to my RNG focus, I bring experience in PFAS water treatment systems, aerospace manufacturing, semiconductor cleanrooms, and industrial gas turbine plants. My combined experiences have sharpened my ability to solve complex problems, manage multidisciplinary teams, and deliver innovative engineering solutions.
