Electrical Engineering Manager, CMTA Inc.; BA, Electrical Engineering, Wright State University

Evers started his career in MEP engineering as a drafter at Heapy Engineering in 2007. He joined CMTA in 2019 and has a background in design, including primary and secondary power distribution systems, lighting and lighting controls, fire alarm systems and motor controls. His experience includes projects in the K-12, higher education and health care markets. One notable project is the campuswide electrical grid replacement project at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. Evers worked with the college to update its electrical infrastructure across campus while adhering to codes and standards within existing space limitations. He coordinated building shutdowns to align with the college’s schedule, all while delivering the project on time and within budget. Other recent electrical engineering projects include a net-zero ready residence hall at Oberlin College, a master plan at Marshall University, Galen College of Nursing in Kentucky and the GE Aviation EPISCenter. Several of his projects have won awards, including The University of Dayton Roger Glass Center for the Arts, earning the U.S. Green Building Council of Ohio’s 2024 Local Market Leadership Award. Additionally, GE Aviation EPISCenter won the Ohio Economic Development Association’s 2014 Best Economic Development Project. Evers values volunteerism, working with Feed the Kids Columbus, a nonprofit that supports children facing food insecurity. His volunteer efforts also include contributing his time and skills to Habitat for Humanity. Valuing time with his wife and their two young sons, Evers prioritizes being there for the big and small moments, whether it’s cheering them on at a sporting event, offering advice during challenging times, spending quality time together or simply dropping them off at school in the morning.
