Jason Dolmetsch, P.E.
President

Jason is the president of MSK, where he began his career in 1998. As company president, he maintains key client relationships and cultivates new opportunities, directs the company’s strategic decisions, and supports the growth and development of MSK’s people. 

A civil engineer by training, Jason has long been interested in the role of creativity in engineering services and holds that the best engineering consultants provide more than just technical skill; they also cultivate an understanding of clients’ long-term vision and develop projects to help clients realize this vision. In keeping with this philosophy, Jason works to develop new leaders in the engineering profession who can not only solve pressing client problems but also cultivate new opportunities for community investment, growth, and transformation.

As a professional committed to building vibrant communities, Jason is an active and involved community member. In 2005, he joined the Cambridge (NY) Community Partnership. In his decade of service, he contributed to a wide range of community renewal and reinvestment initiatives, including a major redevelopment project that required new wastewater treatment infrastructure, for which Jason secured a $160,000 grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to fund an innovative on-site wastewater system treating 8,000 gallons per day. Jason currently serves on the board of the Bennington County Industrial Corporation, and he provides leadership to the Southern Vermont CEDS steering committee as chair of the Bennington County Regional Economic Development board.  He is a member of the Vermont Business Roundtable.

Patrick Smart, P.E.
Senior Environmental Engineer

Pat is a senior engineer at MSK and the director of our Montpelier office. He joined MSK in 2020 and brings to our clients more than 15 years of experience in environmental engineering. He is responsible for guiding the development of water treatment and distribution projects and new business initiatives. 

Pat is dedicated to developing engineering solutions that make life better for people while decreasing the human footprint on the environment. In his previous position at the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s Public Drinking Water Supply Program, he worked to ensure that Vermonters have universal access to clean water delivered through safe, reliable infrastructure. In this role, he led the public water system construction permit program, helped to draft regulations to protect the public from groundwater contamination, and oversaw inspections of all types of water systems in Vermont. 

As a project engineer, he is attracted to difficult and dynamic engineering problems. Early in his career, he conducted original research on mine water treatment technologies and bioremediation systems. He has since developed broad professional expertise on the remediation of groundwater and surface water contaminants including heavy metals, radionuclides, gas and oil, products of combustion, and industrial chemicals. As part of this work, he has been involved in Superfund projects.

Currently, Pat is guiding MSK’s environmental engineering practice, focusing on water quality and contaminant remediation projects. He is the primary project lead for the preparation of water service line inventories and lead service line replacement projects and has been the driving force behind our development of an innovative systematic stepwise approach which effectively identify lead while reducing costs by half. He is also currently collaborating with the USEPA Office of Research and Development to submit a journal on these techniques for publication in Fall 2023.

Pat holds an M.S. in environmental science and engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and a B.S. in environmental engineering from the University of New Hampshire. He lives with his family in Montpelier.

Michael Mazzu
Staff Engineer

Michael, a western Massachusetts native, was born and raised in North Adams where he enjoyed outdoor activities and using any chance he had to play guitar. Through his involvement in the school marching and jazz bands along with personal groups formed amongst friends, Michael developed a strong love for all things music.

Following his passion from his earlier years, Michael attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst where he pursued to further his craft on the guitar by studying Jazz and African music. However, he soon realized he missed the academic challenges he was fond of, and thus went on to earn two bachelor’s degrees in his time at UMass: one in civil engineering and the other in jazz guitar. While some may find these two an odd juxtaposition, it was an easy choice for Michael as he had always been interested in how structures were created and the vast scale and complexity of civil infrastructure.

Michael joined MSK in the summer of 2020 as an intern assisting in construction observation, returned the following summer, and finally joined the team full time as a staff engineer working heavily on the lead service line remediation project and assisting in engineering design in 2022 when he graduated from UMass.

Michael still continues to play guitar to this day and brings this creative mindset to the engineering field to help provide others with a unique perspective and quality, detail oriented solutions to projects he is working on. His time spent playing in multiple musical groups and organizing shows helped him hone his communication skills, an integral part of the civil engineering trade.

Ethan Loveland
Technician

Ethan joined MSK in 2020, bringing with him years of experience managing complex operations in the food retail sector and a passionate commitment to creating a cleaner, safer environment. Following his decision to pursue a career transition, Ethan earned a B.S. in natural resource management from SUNY-ESF.

As a member of our construction inspection field crew, survey group, and environmental engineering team, Ethan draws on his experience in data collection, data analysis, and water quality science to strengthen MSK’s project work.

Ethan is a longtime resident of Hoosick Falls, NY. When not at work, Ethan enjoys pursuing his interests in forest ecology and wildlife biology.

Stephanie Mulligan
Director of Operations

Steph has been with MSK since 2016 and manages MSK’s operations, finances, and human resources, drawing on her wide and varied experience in business administration.
