Aaron Nordman, P.E.
Aaron earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1997. He cultivated his interest in civil engineering early on as an independent excavation contractor working his way through school. Upon graduation, he began his professional career with an environmental engineering contractor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However, Michigan was always home and in 2001 he joined Performance Engineers, Inc. as a civil engineer and obtained licensure in Michigan.
​
At PEI, Aaron was responsible for project management, commercial and residential site design, roadway design, sanitary system design, and project inspection. He obtained additional licenses for drinking water and wastewater operation through the State and began growing the contract operations services at PEI. The blend of his construction background, operations experience, and engineering skills led to an increased involvement and expertise in municipal infrastructure.
He became a partner with James Malewitz (founder) and Robert “Boomer” Bomier in 2014, succeeding James as president of PEI upon his passing in 2020. As president, Aaron is committed to maintaining the core principals of Performance Engineers that James Malewitz began the company with: stewardship of company resources, stewardship of client resources and stewardship of public resources.
