West Plains Engineering is pleased to announce a transition in leadership in our Cedar Rapids office. Beginning this Spring, Jeff Reinhart, P.E. will focus on leading our electrical engineering staff, while we welcome Mike Drahos, P.E. as the new office manager.

Jeff has been the office manager in Cedar Rapids for the past 15 years, but has a passion for getting back to what he loves most about his job – being an engineer and finishing his career in a more technical role. Obviously, as engineers ourselves, we respect and understand that decision. To support him, we’re bringing in Mike, who has more than 25 years of experience in MEP consulting as a mechanical engineer in Iowa and Minnesota, and joins West Plains after running his own construction firm.

Jeff will manage the office throughout the transition until Mike joins us full time August 1. Jeff will then focus on leading the electrical engineering staff and expanding our services in complex electrical projects.

We want to thank Jeff for his years of outstanding leadership as a manager. We appreciate his skill and experience as an engineer, and know he’ll continue to be a great partner for our clients in Iowa.

If you have any questions about the transition, please call the Cedar Rapids office at (319) 365-0030.
