We are proud to announce Continuum Services has received the BOMA Engineer of the Year award three times in the last four years. This year, we congratulate Dan Johnston for receiving Building Engineer of the Year.
The Leadership Awards honor members and firms who exceed expectations in their professional work. They are essential to BOMA’s success and positively influence local commercial real estate. Winners are reviewed by peers for BOMA involvement, industry achievements, and community outreach.
About Dan
Dan has been in the industry for 15 years and is the lead engineer overseeing a team of five engineers and two maintenance technicians. Prior to Dan’s career in engineering, he served in the U.S. Army as a squad leader and staff Sargent for 10 years.
Dan works in a 45-story Class A office building totaling 1.6 million square feet, with approximately 4,000 tenants. In addition to property, Dan and his team are responsible for maintenance in two Detroit garages, which house 3,100 parking spots.
From 2004 to 2016 Dan worked as a First Class Engineer for Hines in various buildings, including One Detroit Center, Renaissance Center and Campus Martius, as well as serving as the Lead engineer at the Detroit Public Safety Headquarters.
Fast Response
“There was a water incident in our building when a drinking fountain coil ruptured. I called Dan at 1 a.m. to alert him of the situation and he was on-site within 30 minutes. As he was trying to get up to the 22 floor to isolate the leak, he became entrapped in the service elevator.
While entrapped, Dan was able to talk another engineer less familiar with the building, to find the shut off and isolate the leak,” explained Tom Bartkowiak, engineering and facilities manager at Continuum.
Dan exhibits leadership in any situation. His mentoring provides growth opportunities for the engineering team. Dan has helped apprentice engineers progress in their career to engineers, and engineers to first class engineers.
In addition to being such a great leader, he is easy to get along with and works well with the property management team (and any other employee); there is never a time that you feel he’s not a part of the building or his coworkers. We feel very comfortable going to him for any question.
Great work Dan!
