According to New York City-based Dagher Engineering, Michael Levine, P.E., has joined the MEP firm as executive vice president and chief operating officer. Levine has more than 35 years of experience in corporate leadership and engineering. Levine will strengthen Dagher Engineering's project management based approach to design, as well as the firm's commitment to advancing building science. "I see these two things as going hand in hand," Levine said. "The type of organization that Dagher Engineering is, and its management structure, puts the focus on the client, and on development of new technologies. This isn't a company that cares solely for profits; this firm is passionate about engineering." Levine will have full P&L responsibilities, lead all office operations, and act as principal-in-charge on public sector projects. He will also lead Dagher Engineering's domestic business development efforts. Levine brings invaluable experience in the governmental sector, as well as public and private schools, universities and hospitals. "There is such a huge opportunity to benefit the community we live and work in with this type of project," Levine said. "And Dagher Engineering has been committed to working within the public sector since the firm was founded."
