Water Systems Senior Engineer Mark Ferguson was recently honored with the company’s annual Tower of Excellence award.
The Tower of Excellence Award recipient has made a significant impact on Conway Corp through outstanding dedication and exceptional job performance. This employee consistently displays characteristics valued by co-workers and is dedicated to fulfilling Conway Corp’s mission.
Mark was nominated by several co-workers for his ability to go above and beyond all expectations in seeing that no detail is overlooked prior to beginning new projects. The nomination called him “a valuable resource to both Conway Corp and the citizens of Conway.”
“He has a very strong work ethic, often being here early in the morning until well after everyone has gone home. All the projects he has can be overwhelming, but he remains calm and patient with the process. He really cares about Conway Corp and wants to see everyone succeed.”
Another nomination said:
“I appreciate Mark’s ability to consider the future for Conway’s water and wastewater systems,” Conway Corp Engineering & Planning Manager Dale Gottsponer said. “With the work his team is doing today, Conway Corp is in good hands with Mark’s leadership.”
Mark has helped secure funding for large projects in Conway. He currently serves as the project manager on the Roger Q Mills Plant Expansion and has been integral in procuring funding for the massive project. Conway Corp is receiving a multi-million dollar loan from the Arkansas Natural Resources Department to complete the expansion. His hard work has been a major part of getting these funds secured and he will continue to manage this project to completion.
Despite his commitment, Mark was surprised to win the award. He voiced his dedication to giving his best day in and day out.
“Just to be nominated for the Tower of Excellence award and recognized by my peers is a huge honor,” he said. “Winning it was very unexpected. I feel privileged to join the prestigious group of previous recipients and will strive to live up to its reputation.”
Mark joined the company as a part-time DAT installer in April 2012 before being promoted to a full-time water systems engineer in May 2013. He was then promoted to water systems engineer 2 in December 2017. He was promoted to his current role in December 2020.
