Summary
Keith Mclaughlin is a licensed Professional Engineer and business owner with over 30 years of hands-on leadership in engineering, construction, and operations for oil pipelines, terminals, and municipal infrastructure. He has led multi-billion-dollar projects from concept through commissioning, recruiting and mentoring high-performance teams while managing budgets, contracts, and stakeholder communications across states and regulatory environments. Known for big-picture risk analysis and an ability to foresee and mitigate problems before they materialize, he combines construction field experience with IT, manufacturing, and financial management fluency. His career highlights include leading engineering and construction for major pipeline expansions and directing turnaround efforts that saved millions and accelerated schedules. Based in Duluth, he pairs technical depth (PE, mechanical engineering background) with strategic program development and business development acumen through his consulting practice. A less obvious strength is his breadth across sectors—from surgical device manufacturing to wastewater and SCADA systems—giving him an unusually broad systems perspective in energy projects.
