IMEG Corp. has promoted Eric Reinsch<\/span>, PE, SE,<\/span>\u00a0to the role of client executive, leading one of the firm\u2019s structural teams.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eric<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0also a new principal with the firm<\/span>, is experienced in the design of structural\u00a0<\/span>systems for various building types\u00a0<\/span>in markets including healthcare, education, industrial, municipal, and commercial. He most<\/span>\u00a0recently served as a project executive working out of IMEG\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0home<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>office in Rock Island<\/span>, IL. He took time out recently to answer the following questions:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What drew you toward structural engineering?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I\u2019ve always been fascinated with construction. I was the kid with my nose pressed to the car window as we drove by road or building construction. Throughout my childhood you could usually find me making creations, such as blanket\u00a0<\/span>forts, treehouses, and various structures for my GI Joes with Lego<\/span>\u00a0bricks<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Construx<\/span>. I always knew I would be in the AEC industry<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and my enjoyment of\u00a0<\/span>physics and math led me to structural engineering.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u00a0<\/span><\/b>is<\/span><\/b>\u00a0one of your most memorable projects?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Deaconess Gateway\u00a0<\/span>Hospital Patient Tower B addition in Newburgh, IN. It was a<\/span>\u00a0six-<\/span>story patient tower addition with consideration for a seven<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0floor<\/span>\u00a0located in a high seismic zone. It was one of my fist major projects as a young structural engineer and I\u00a0<\/span>was\u00a0<\/span>teamed with my longtime friend and\u00a0<\/span>IMEG\u00a0<\/span>coworker, Katie Goldberg. I found\u00a0<\/span>it very<\/span>\u00a0rewarding to be\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>two<\/span>–<\/span>year engineer leading the superstructure design and construction administration on a large project. I learn<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0a lot about design, project management<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and construction through that project.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your approach to the consultant-client relationship?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Frankly, t<\/span>he\u00a0<\/span>strongest client-consultant\u00a0<\/span>relationship<\/span>s occur when you<\/span>\u00a0become friends. I\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>try to make clients successful with their business and with the various stakeholders\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>ir<\/span>\u00a0projects even if it doesn\u2019t always involve engineering. I\u00a0<\/span>joke<\/span>\u00a0that you know you have a good relationship with a client if you can text them in the evening\u00a0<\/span>about something\u00a0<\/span>and they\u00a0<\/span>reply with a meme.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>his<\/span>\u00a0past year\u00a0<\/span>we\u00a0<\/span>had some fun conversations\u00a0<\/span>about<\/span>\u00a0how everyone was dealing with 2020.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What<\/span><\/b>\u00a0trend\u00a0<\/span><\/b>or\u00a0<\/span><\/b>technologies<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>will affect structural design in the\u00a0<\/span><\/b>future?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Modular<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>p<\/span>re-fabricated construction,\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>higher degree of virtual design and construction, and automation<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>artificial intelligence in design and construction. I think the next five years will be revolutionary in how technology is expanded in the AEC industry. It will lead to more efficient design<\/span>s,\u00a0<\/span>buildings<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>AEC process<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0owners having a greater understanding of their building<\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>process in design and final\u00a0<\/span>operation<\/span>;\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0pushing buildings<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>structures beyond today\u2019s perceived limits.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Describe the qualities and capabilities of your team.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>My team\u00a0<\/span>is in<\/span>\u00a0four offices in four different states<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0which is a bit unique. I believe this geographic diversity has allowed us to hire and develop great people\u00a0<\/span>who have<\/span>\u00a0vast experience in a wide variety of market segments. We\u2019re highly knowledge<\/span>able in<\/span>\u00a0the subt<\/span>letie<\/span>s of the various markets<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>building types<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0we bring unique perspectives and high collaboration to our\u00a0<\/span>designs<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>we\u00a0<\/span>can adapt and respond quickly to project needs. A recent example of this<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>wa<\/span>s the team rally<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0to design\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0new<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>three-<\/span>story<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>73,000<\/span>-square-foot<\/span>\u00a0YMCA in roughly five weeks to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>meet the aggressive schedule\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0opening prior to January 2021. It opened December 21<\/span>st<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>is already having a great impact on the community<\/span>\u00a0of Davenport, Iowa.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you do in your free time?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Bit of a clich\u00e9 here, but I enjoy spending time with friends and family<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 albeit,\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span>\u00a0has\u00a0<\/span>been a lot of virtual hangouts this past year.\u00a0 I<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>enjoy<\/span>\u00a0doing various home improvement projects, playing games and\u00a0<\/span>doing\u00a0<\/span>various activities with my two boys in the\u00a0<\/span>backyard<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and playing Sunday night sand volleyball with friends.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>passionate about getting the next generation interest<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0in STEM fields and enjoy talking with kids through various volunteer opportunities.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6838,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nQ&A with Eric Reinsch, new client executive for structural - IMEG<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imegcorp.com\/news_events\/eric-reinsch-named-client-executive-for-structural-team\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Q&A with Eric Reinsch, new client executive for structural - IMEG\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IMEG Corp. has promoted Eric Reinsch, PE, SE,\u00a0to the role of client executive, leading one of the firm\u2019s structural teams.\u00a0\u00a0 Eric,\u00a0also a new principal with the firm, is experienced in the design of structural\u00a0systems for various building types\u00a0in markets including healthcare, education, industrial, municipal, and commercial.
