Mr. Blair offers more than 15 years of professional experience leading and delivering commissioning services for the life sciences, higher education and healthcare industries. He leads a team of engineers focused on the commissioning and qualification of projects following Good Engineering Practices (GEPs) and Industry Standard Guidelines (ISPE, NIH, AEE, ASHRAE, LEED). His technical expertise helps him develop commissioning strategies meeting the needs of our clients.

Josh specializes in resolving a broad range of design and installation issues for numerous types of MEP systems. His experience includes troubleshooting instrumentation control circuits and BAS control software, administering performance testing and tuning procedures, conducting installation and operational qualifications of systems, and utilizing FDA protocols in commissioning and validation of equipment and systems.

On Resolution

Our "resolution" focused approach to commissioning helps us to deliver quality projects to our clients. "We don't just come into a facility and tell our clients that their systems are not working properly. We spend the time to find the issue, develop a solution, and fix it." At Genesis, we make the extra effort to help our clients to reach their goals.

Josh says he always knew that he'd be involved in the design, engineering or building business somehow. Josh is an all-around outdoors sportsman. He enjoys skiing, golfing, and his other hobby as an avid adventure photographer.
"Our company has a 'do what it takes' mentality. As managers, if we see a need to assist our staff on a project… we jump right in, roll up our sleeves, and get it done". This hands on approach is another reason that Genesis is unique.
