Timothy Bayse earned both a B.S. and an M.S. in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech. In 2009, he began working for Naval Facilities located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Within his first year, he took over the largest project for the northeast United States and acted as a manager for a large project to construct an electric test drive facility in Philadelphia. During that project, he drove the large value engineering proposal, saving $300,000 dollars by changing out the type of filter screens that could be used in a large 72 inch circulation line used for cooling of engines. He also spearheaded the engineering team and acceptables group to provide natural gas compressors to the testing lab. In 2011, he became the lead on a Utility Energy Service Contract that saved Naval Facilities over $2 million at no cost to the government. This was accomplished by replacing the heating systems in all the government buildings at the Philadelphia Navy Yard using energy management services offered by the local utility provider.
In 2014, Mr. Bayse took a Department of Defense (DoD) call for a temporary assignment in Africa. During this time, he was the lead engineer on over $340 million of work that directly impacted the DoD warfighter by providing running water, paved roads, brick and mortar barracks, and airfields. While in Africa, he continued to remotely work on design projects in the United States.

Mr. Bayse has won many awards while working for NAVFAC, including Engineer of the Year for the Midland region of NAVFAC in 2015. In that same year, he also won Engineer of the Year for the entire international organization of NAVFAC, which labeled him as a top 10 for the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Engineer of the Year. He was awarded the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Medal, an award established for military to recognize the accomplishments of the workforce of the DoD in direct support of the armed forces, whose members are engaged in operations to combat terrorism in all forms throughout the world.

He earned his professional engineering license while working abroad in Africa, flying back to the United States to take the exam. While serving in Africa, Tim assisted the state department with English language lessons with local students at elementary and high school levels. He taught math and English, as well as led discussions about politics and global economy.

As a member of the contingency engineer response team (CERT) for the Navy, he assists in planning, designing, constructing and sustaining facilities for the commanders, warfighter and families. The group also reaches out to other nations during times of need, such as in 2010 when the tsunami and hurricane hit Haiti. He volunteered for the damage assessment team that went to help restore wharfs, airfields, and perform building inspections of thousands of buildings to assist the local community.

Mr. Bayse married a fellow Hokie and they currently reside in Pennsylvania, enjoying traveling, archery, motorcycles, and playing guitar.
