MSA is proud to recognize the accomplishments of employee owner Jamie Johnson, DES, who recently earned licensure as a Designer of Engineering Systems (DES) in the state of Wisconsin.

To obtain a DES license, an applicant is required to have a minimum of 7 years of eligible experience in specialized engineering design work, proving competency in all aspects of the trade. Individuals holding a DES license may engage in the preparation of plans and specifications for projects and are authorized to consult, investigate and evaluate the plans and specifications of others.

Johnson joined MSA in 2023 with the firm’s acquisition of Fredericksen Engineering and serves as a senior engineering technician II on the firm’s Buildings – Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) team. He has over 25 years of experience working in IT and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for a wide variety of MEP projects, leading digital design and information technology solutions for clients across the state of Wisconsin. Jaime works from MSA’s Mequon office location.

“I’m thrilled to congratulate Jamie on attaining DES licensure,” commented Nick Wagner, senior vice president and Buildings service line lead at MSA. “This is a pivotal professional milestone on top of an already remarkable career. I commend Jamie’s dedication to ongoing career development and look forward to employing his skills and talents to MSA’s projects going forward.
