Expanding enterprise-wide engineering leadership to support company-wide growth and deliver solutions for a rapidly evolving nuclear market.
Structural Integrity Associates (SIA) is pleased to announce two leadership promotions that strengthen our engineering organization and enhance the integrated services we deliver to clients across critical industries.
Over the past five years, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Michael Battaglia has been instrumental in growing SIA’s Nuclear business during a period of unprecedented industry expansion. His experience and leadership have helped our clients address complex challenges related to asset life extension, safety, and operational performance.
We are excited to announce Michael’s promotion to Senior Vice President, Engineering Services. In this newly formed role, he will oversee SIA’s engineering organization, driving operational efficiency, expanding engineering capabilities, and increasing collaboration across our businesses—including nuclear, critical infrastructure, energy, and pipeline integrity compliance. Michael will continue to serve as SIA’s Chief Nuclear Officer, ensuring continuity and sustained focus on nuclear services.
In conjunction with this transition, SIA is proud to promote Erica Libra-Sharkey to the position of Vice President, Nuclear. Erica brings more than 20 years of nuclear industry experience and has held several key leadership roles at SIA. For the past several years, Erica has served as Mr. Battaglia’s top operational executive in Nuclear, where she has been instrumental in the success of the business unit, guiding strategy, execution, and growth. A recognized industry leader, Erica is a Project Management Professional (PMP®) and an American Nuclear Society “40 Under 40” honoree. She has successfully led large, complex initiatives—including the implementation of Continuous Noble Metal Injection (CNMI), a first-of-its-kind technology demonstration for the industry.
