Case will oversee high-level accounting and administrative duties in order to facilitate company growth, according to the press release.

She has 10 years of experience in tax accounting, financial consulting and corporate invoicing. Prior to joining BlueInGreen, Case was accounts payable manager at the e-commerce company Acumen Holdings in Fayetteville.

Project engineer Shirey studied steam generation as an engineering intern at Paul Mueller Company, a global supplier of heating, cooling and storage solutions, and gained firsthand experience with process line equipment as a manufacturing intern at Molex, a leading global supplier of advanced electronic components and technologies, according to the BlueInGreen release.

Before joining the company as a full-time employee, Shirey worked as a mechanical engineer intern for BlueInGreen, where he focused on optimizing HyDOZ system performance within specified system parameters.
