Nick Zech, PE

Founder & Principal Engineer

Zech Engineering was founded on a straightforward premise: clients deserve to work directly with the engineer who does the work. When you work with Zech Engineering, you work directly with Nick Zech, PE, a licensed Professional Engineer and Master Electrician, from the initial scoping call through the final deliverable. You get senior-level expertise and direct access to your engineer on every project.

Nick has over a decade of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on power systems and electrical safety compliance. His background spans industrial manufacturing, commercial construction, and institutional facilities, including earlier electrical design work on major distribution, retail, and institutional projects. Studies he has performed have identified overdutied equipment, outdated arc flash labels, and coordination failures that facility owners didn't know existed. That field experience is what goes into every study and every deliverable.

Zech Engineering provides arc flash studies and electrical engineering services for industrial and commercial facilities. We help contractors, manufacturers, and property managers stay compliant with NFPA 70E and OSHA, with minimal disruption to operations.
