Our Pittsburgh Branch Manager, Justin Zelekovitz, was recently featured in an in-depth interview with Capital Analytics Associates, where he discusses the evolving market dynamics in the civil engineering and construction sectors, the firm’s growth milestones in Western Pennsylvania, and his vision for the future of our Pittsburgh operations.

In the feature, Justin discusses how Hillis-Carnes has strategically expanded its presence in the region since opening the Pittsburgh office in 2021. He highlights the importance of adaptability in changing economic conditions and how thoughtful planning has allowed the office to remain competitive while continuing to grow its client base and service offerings.

Justin also reflects on the office’s recent relocation to Fox Chapel, noting that the move supports both operational efficiency and increased accessibility to key regional markets. Under his leadership, the Pittsburgh team has taken on major projects, including construction materials testing and special inspections for The Meridian mixed-use development, as well as Carnegie Mellon University’s Richard King Mellon Hall of Sciences — one of the office’s largest projects to date.

The article further emphasizes Hillis-Carnes’ commitment to developing talent locally through partnerships with universities and internship programs. Justin underscores the value of mentoring young professionals and providing hands-on experience to help prepare the next generation of engineers and construction professionals.
