Jim Sokol
Principal
“AEI does not complete 'repetitive' designs. AEI is organized and focused specifically on the development of unique and specialized facilities.”
AEI teams get excited about and excel at thinking in new ways—conceiving new technology applications and developing new approaches. This is not limited to engineering solutions but extends to all aspects of our business, including new delivery methods and alternative working relationships with design and construction team members. We believe that these attributes are of immense value to projects.
Jim Sokol has over 35 years of experience in engineering and project management, ranging from master planning, conceptual design, and cost estimates through construction document development, scheduling, and construction supervision. An accomplished project leader, Jim has developed innovative communication tools and techniques to help building owners and decision-makers understand complex technical aspects of building design, modern energy use, and sustainability.
Jim has led projects for clients in the healthcare, infrastructure, mixed-use, and research markets, including prominent projects for Amgen, Inc., Seattle Children’s Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Providence-Swedish Health Alliance, University of California, Berkeley, Oregon Health and Science University, Oregon State University, and Dendreon Corporation.
