Jackie Uhling, Automation and Controls Engineer in our Liberty Lake, Washington office, came to H2E straight from the University of Idaho nearly four years ago with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Hailing from Lewiston, Idaho Jackie always knew she would be an engineer due to her natural affinity for problem solving and enjoyment of math. She decided on electrical engineering after doing wiring on her house with her family.
Jackie is known for her love of automation, constantly researching technologies and processes in the industry. Having worked on both the Power and Automation & Controls teams initially, she now claims that “Automation is way more interesting; I like how involved in the processes we work on it is. There are a wide range of things you can learn and do in automation, all of them are interesting.” This attitude has fueled Jackie’s ambition to make her team the most technically advanced in the office, starting her own internal competition for Staff level engineers designed to bolster their engineering awareness and knowledge through challenges she issues.
The dedication that Jackie shows to the quality of her work is a clear embodiment of H2E’s values. She claims that working on something difficult or nearly impossible to solve and then overcoming it is the best part of the job. According to her, “I’ve been brought a lot of joy by this job and learned passion for engineering and solving problems.” Through this mentality Jackie strives to learn and be better on every project, every day. With the achievement of her PE exam, the career goal of becoming a Fellow Engineer and the drive to never be outworked, Jackie’s value and career trajectory continue to escalate. Jackie also mentioned how appreciative she is of the team and mentors she has found at H2E.
In her personal time Jackie enjoys camping, snowboarding, and fishing with family and friends. She is well known around the office for her desire to always win, whether it’s the companies Chilli Cook-Off, Team Challenges, or even work done in a week, Jackie always endeavors to be first in the rankings.
We are very privileged to have Jackie on our team!
