Bryan Bucchianeri, PE, 35
Bryan Bucchianeri has 13 years of experience specializing in the design and construction of complex heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and plumbing systems for water and wastewater treatment facilities, industrial plants and public infrastructure projects. His technical expertise spans large-scale treatment process buildings, administration spaces and high-performance system retrofits, with a focus on energy efficiency, code compliance and long-term operational reliability. He has led the HVAC and plumbing designs for major facility upgrades incorporating advanced treatment technologies such as PFAS removal systems and nitrogen reduction processes — critical infrastructure improvements that help utilities meet evolving drinking water and environmental regulations. From early in his career, Bucchianeri demonstrated resilience and leadership. When his team was reduced significantly, he stepped into expanded responsibilities — serving as both a junior engineer and taking on mid-level and lead design duties. That challenge sharpened the skills that now define his approach. He currently manages a 23-person mechanical team across multiple Northeast offices, guiding technical excellence while mentoring younger engineers. His project portfolio includes serving as lead mechanical engineer for major treatment plant upgrades in New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and Massachusetts, as well as acting as the project technical leader for a feasibility study supporting a buildingwide HVAC improvements project at the Rhode Island State House. Beyond project delivery, he contributes to the profession through published technical articles and participation in CDM Smith’s Technical Specialist Development Program. Bucchianeri treasures time with his wife and daughters, creating family traditions through travel, seasonal outings and beach days. He also enjoys cooking, grilling and, as a lifelong New England Patriots fan, gathering with friends to watch football.
