Neal Deiters
Started with Power in 2013
Regarded as our “Career Path Unicorn,” one might be hard-pressed to find a more unique career journey than Neal’s. He is built to be a team player, stemming from his days as a Big 10 football player and continuing through his 10+ years at Power. Spending the first few years of his career in the field before pivoting to our Preconstruction team, Neal now serves as a Project Manager for our self-perform Carpentry Group. Neal is a great example of expanding one’s knowledge across the organization by saying “yes” to every opportunity that he spotted. Doing so has enabled him to become an invaluable resource to Power.

Arthur Lin
Started with Power in 2023
Some people “find their best fit” early (see Trevor), while others may take a few years. Arthur started the first two years of his career with another firm on travel projects throughout the Midwest. Knowing he was ready to return to Chicago, Arthur tapped on his network from his time at U of I to re-connect with Power, knowing it was the right place for him to grow long-term. When Arthur isn’t beating his coworkers in 2v2 basketball, he’s continuing to add to his project experience which now includes data centers, high rises, student housing, and higher education buildings - all just six years into his career.

Trevor Symbal
Started with Power in 2016
Any college student can find value in a conversation with Trevor on best ways to navigate various internship opportunities. By senior year, Trevor had four internship experiences, with four different companies, roles, and locations. Doing so put Trevor in the perfect spot to make the right decision on what he wanted to do after graduation. Power ended up being his right fit (lucky for us) and he was able to apply all of the PE, MEP, Preconstruction, and VDC experience picked up throughout his four years on Day One.

Kevin Zile
Started with Power in 2023
Kevin worked hard to maximize opportunities throughout his college career and now beyond. After completing two internships with other firms, he eagerly joined Power to work on a 19-story, 420,000 sf luxury apartment in Fulton Market. His technical skills and positive attitude earned him a return offer for an eight-month co-op. Kevin then moved to the East Coast to help build a 12-story, 1M sf student housing facility in Raleigh, NC. In both roles, he was a key operations asset, often described as the glue of his teams and amongst other Power interns. While finishing his studies, Kevin continued to work part-time remotely. Now, he’s launching his full-time career as a project engineer on yet another multifamily development: a 22-story building in Denver, CO
