GARNER, NC, December 03, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Joseph Zeumah Nkemontoh has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Nkemontoh established a distinguished career in engineering, focusing on design and construction management. Now retired, he spent over 15 years as a senior engineering associate in Portland, Oregon, from 2005 to 2021, where he played a pivotal role in the design and installation of cathodic protection systems. These systems have been crucial for safeguarding infrastructure including water pipes, water tanks, reservoir pipes and rail transit from the effects of corrosion. His expertise in this area is a testament to his dedication and skill in ensuring the longevity and safety of essential public utilities.
During his tenure in engineering, Mr. Nkemontoh chaired the board for the National Association of Corrosion Engineers'(NACE), Portland section, from 2012 to 2014. In this capacity, he contributed to shaping policies and strategies that facilitated section activities and coordinated relations with other NACE International groups. His leadership extended beyond his professional duties as he also served on the board of trustees for the Western area states of the organization.
Between 1991 and 2005, Mr. Nkemontoh was a district traffic engineer with the Portland Bureau of Transportation and Environmental Services. During this time, he worked on traffic and environmental engineering projects that improved transportation and sewer infrastructure, enhancing safety and livability within the city. His early career began as an engineering assistant with the electrical design group at Caltrans, Los Angeles, from 1989 to 1990, where he honed his technical skills and laid the foundation for his future accomplishments.
Mr. Nkemontoh's academic background included earning a Bachelor of Science in mathematics and English literature from the University of Sioux Falls. He then studied electrical engineering at Cal State Los Angeles, and subsequently got certified as Engineer in training. He also got certified in the principles of failure analysis, as well as Corrosion/Cathodic Protection technician, while practicing corrosion engineering. Prior to this, he got his general certificate of education (GCE) in liberal arts and sciences from the University of London. This diverse educational foundation has been instrumental in his ability to approach engineering challenges with analytical precision and practical communication skills, while the certifications underscore his commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
In addition to his professional achievements, Mr. Nkemontoh has been actively involved in civic organizations. Most notably, he served as a board member for Good Samaritan Ministries International, demonstrating his dedication to community service and support for charitable causes.
