Scaffold Engineering, Inc. (SEI), a privately held engineering firm, is pleased to announce the addition of a new partner—Vice President Eric Pannabecker. Since joining SEI in 2019 as a Project Engineer, Eric has demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication, quickly progressing to Senior Project Engineer in 2021. His contributions have proven invaluable, and his promotion to Vice President marks an important step in the firm’s continued growth and innovation.

In his new role, Eric will lead a team of professional, technical, and administrative staff, providing project management and consulting services that align with SEI’s strategic objectives.
