Jeff Heiken

Raising 3 great kids, I coached anything and everything, probably 50 youth teams along the way. Engineering is no different, show them the fundamentals, reinforce the positive, and get out of the way and let the true stars take the field.

Jeff Heiken assumed leadership of the Tampa office in 2016, joining Affiliated Engineers with a perspective that aligns well with the visions of our clients, and a diverse resume of national engineering experience, including having run a full service architectural engineering office. The culture of the Tampa office stems from a philosophy that we are a service industry and everyone within AEI brings value to our clients and owners. In 2018, Heiken became a shareholder of the firm.

A Penn State engineering grad, Jeff began his career working on Healthcare and Research facilities, with projects for Merck, Wythe, Pfizer, BioGen Idec, Easai, and BD Technologies, and the University of Colorado. Since Jeff joined AEI, the Tampa office has supported major projects for The University of South Florida, the University of Tampa, Naples Community Hospital, and 3 major efforts for the Sarasota Memorial Hospital system. Currently under design are Sarasota Memorial’s new hospital in Venice, Florida, the Oncology Tower on the main campus, and the Oncology outpatient facility, projects estimated at over a half billion dollars of construction value, engaging multiple AEI offices.
