Emanuelson-Podas (EP) recently announced the hiring of Chris Konechne, PE, as a Senior Electrical Engineer.

Konechne returns for his second stint at EP, where he previously worked as an electrical designer from 2009 to 2015. Since then, he has built an impressive career leading client development, engineering and strategic growth efforts in the telecommunications sector.

At EP, Konechne will leverage his broad background in the AEC and telecommunications industries to help drive quality and innovation across the firm’s electrical engineering efforts. He will also play a key role in developing EP’s Brookings, S.D. office, leading efforts to strengthen relationships with architects, developers and contractors in South Dakota and western Minnesota.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Chris back to the team,” said Matt Fults, PE, Managing Partner and Electrical Engineer. “He’s an exceptional engineer with a rare mix of technical expertise and business acumen, both of which will be integral to expanding our Brookings, S.D. office. We’re excited for the impact he’ll have in both our projects and our client relationships.”

Konechne will be based in EP’s Brookings, S.D. office.
