Engr. Jason Eirik McCallister
About
My Background
My name is Jason Eirik McCallister and i'm Mechanical Engineer who works as an independent contractor with a team of engineers coming together, teaming up, and taking on industrial and high-powered offshore drilling platforms. I was raised in Cold Spring, New York and went on to acquire my BSME from the University of the State of New York.
I'm professionally experienced in both Ultra-deepwater and midwater semi-submersible drilling platforms. I and my team focus on rig design, data analysis, construction of new rigs, pipeline installation, and maintenance of complex mechanical systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
“Over the past 25 years, I have gained valuable industry experience as a mechanical engineer in several companies like Halliburton where I was able to apply my formal education as a member of interdisciplinary teams of career engineers...”
Throughout my undergrad degree, I led the structures team of Northeastern Electric Racing (FSAE), where he delivered the 2017 competition chassis and developed strong skills in mechanical design, fabrication, project management, and leadership.
I've always sought to learn from leaders in Boy Scouts, engineering clubs, and co-ops, earning the rank of Eagle Scout at 17 and serving as Vice President of a STEM fraternity at the University of the State of New York.
