Project Manager

Brian Worthen, P.E.

Brian Worthen, P.E. has been promoted to project manager at Alvine Engineering. First interested in pre-med engineering, he returned to his passion for physics and graduated in mechanical engineering. Brian would like to see the industry move toward greater prioritization of building operation and ownership during design because he recognizes the value of a building performing within design parameters beyond the first few years. For this reason, he tries to emphasize early design considerations for goals such as sustainability and ease of maintenance and operation by closely coordinating with building operators and owners throughout the design process.
