SENIOR PROJECT ENGINEER

Nicholas Szarzynski is a Senior Project Engineer at KLINE, bringing over six years of experience in the design of concrete, steel, and wood structural systems. As a licensed professional engineer and LEED green associate, Nicholas is committed to integrating sustainable design practices into both new construction and restoration projects.

Since joining KLINE in 2021, Nicholas has contributed to a wide range of project types, from complex mixed-use buildings to historic preservation efforts. His rotation across all of KLINE’s regional offices has given him diverse market exposure and deepened his understanding of client-specific needs. Nicholas has worked closely with Principal Mathewos Michael on various restoration projects and designing technically demanding buildings, further strengthening his expertise in structural rehabilitation and modern construction techniques.

Nicholas holds a Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Dayton. Prior to KLINE, he worked with Baker Concrete Construction, gaining valuable field and design experience in formwork and shoring systems for concrete structures.

Proficient in tools such as AutoCAD, Risa 3D, ADAPT PT, STAAD Pro, Tedds, and Winbeam, Nicholas brings a detailed, solutions-oriented mindset to every project. His collaborative and client-focused approach makes him a trusted resource for delivering resilient, efficient, and innovative structural designs.

Originally from Illinois, Nicholas grew up just outside Chicago, where frequent visits downtown with his grandfather sparked an early fascination with skyscrapers and urban design. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, golfing, hiking in national parks, and exploring new culinary scenes. He is a proud sports fan; he follows his hometown teams—the White Sox, Blackhawks, and Bears- and college sports from Michigan and Dayton.
