Scott Siefkes

Scott joined Michaels Engineering in 1997 and began his career designing solutions for cleaning up leaking underground storage tanks, assisting industrial facilities with air pollution permitting, storm water pollution prevention and hazardous waste management. Around 2002, Scott began working in Michaels’ energy division, performing energy analyses, energy audits and investment-grade energy studies. As the company grew, Scott managed the Energy Programs Engineering department, which included all work for one of Michaels’ largest (and longest-term) clients. His duties included client/customer liaisons, program design and implementation, energy analysis and report review, project management, recruiting and mentoring. Late in 2012, Scott took a minority stake in the company.

As of the beginning of 2016, Scott moved into the Chief Operating Officer role for Michaels Energy, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the company, as well as human resources, accounting and information technology.

Scott earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Beyond work at Michaels, Scott and his wife, Sarah, are busy raising their 4-year old daughter and loving (almost) every moment of it. Scott also enjoys being outdoors, working and playing on recreational land that he owns with family, removing invasive plants, maintaining hiking trails, picking morel mushrooms, hunting and fishing whenever he can. Winter brings one of Scott’s favorite pastimes – snowmobiling. He is part of the local snowmobile club, and is active in fundraising and maintenance of local trails.
