2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Patrick Balling, Emtec Consulting Engineers

Patrick Balling 
Mechanical Engineer 
Emtec Consulting Engineers 

Number of years at firm:

One thing on my bucket list: To visit all 50 states or backpack through Europe.

When I am not working, I am: Playing golf, snowboarding, renovating my house, or spending quality time with my wife and family.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Working on the engineering plans for the LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum in West Sayville has certainly been my most prideful project at Emtec. This museum is an incredible memorial for those lost fighting for our country, and now serves as the first Navy SEAL Museum on the east coast. The museum is dedicated to educating the public on our nation’s Navy SEAL’s. The ability to support this project in providing our professional services for such a meaningful museum has been impactful not only to me but also to our communities. 

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR? 

“Patrick Balling has been with Emtec for seven years, which includes his time as an intern. He has consistently proven to be a valuable team member, and future leader within the industry. Patrick has an exceptional work ethic and commitment to Emtec. He has been an integral part of our continued growth, providing top notch project management and mechanical engineering solutions to ensure the successful delivery of our projects.” Andrew Solano, Managing Parter at Emtec Consulting Engineers
