Chemical engineering alum Stephanie Eggert ’04 has been named senior vice president of operations for Hilco Redevelopment Partners (HRP), the firm remediating the former site of the Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) refinery.
Eggert’s appointment to this newly created role was announced in an August 17 press release.
The company, which remediates and redevelops complex and obsolete industrial properties, seeks to transform the PES site into a “state of the art, multi-modal logistics campus.”
“I am excited to contribute to the site’s future as it is transformed into an economic and employment catalyst that will have a positive impact both locally and regionally,” says Eggert. "The PES site was and will continue to be a strategic location for commerce in the Northeast."
In her previous role, Eggert worked on the refinery site for seven years as vice president of business planning for PES. Prior to that, she held various positions of increasing responsibility with Sunoco Inc.
Eggert’s familiarity with the refinery site will provide HRP with “a unique depth of expertise that will help the organization effectively manage business operations, synthesize workflows, and coordinate planning initiatives as we work to create an environmentally friendly employment hub here in Philadelphia,” says Roberto Perez, the company’s CEO.
Eggert also serves as the Vice President of the Women's Leadership Forum of Greater Philadelphia and is the former lead recruiter for the Engineering College Recruiting Program.
