Former maintenance engineer Eric Moore recently was named Facilities Management’s director of maintenance. Moore replaces former director Dan Whatley, who was named the executive director of Facilities Operations in August.

As director, Moore will oversee zone maintenance, shop maintenance, in-house construction, preventative maintenance and the technical advisory teams for all trades under the blanket of the Maintenance Department.

“After conducting a thorough national search, Eric emerged as the best fit for the position,” Whatley said. “Eric’s experience in industrial maintenance, as well as his years at Auburn both in the Utilities and Energy and Maintenance Departments make him a uniquely qualified individual for this position.

“In addition to his experience, I am confident that Eric’s leadership, strategic vision and desire to continuously improve will be of great benefit to the Maintenance Department and the Facili-ties organization as a whole.”

Moore joined Facilities Management in November 2011 as an energy engineer with Utilities and Energy before moving to Maintenance. He graduated from Auburn with a bachelor’s in me-chanical engineering and a minor in business in 2006. He is currently pursuing a master’s in engineering management.

He is certified as a professional engineer and an energy manager.
