Mike Novak

RA

Principal, Industrial, North America

Mike Novak knows that a successful Industrial project starts well before design gets underway. He understands how early decisions can determine whether a project works as intended, from how efficiently it operates to how easily it can adapt as technology, production demands, and business priorities change.

That perspective comes from years of working across manufacturing, logistics, and data center environments. Mike helps clients respond to rising energy demands, increasing automation, and pressure to move projects faster while keeping decisions grounded in what is practical, achievable, and right for the business.

Clients value his ability to get to the heart of an issue quickly. He asks the right questions, tests assumptions early, and helps teams focus on what will have the greatest impact. His style is direct, practical, and collaborative, giving clients a clearer path forward when projects become complex.

His experience across private and public sector projects gives him a broad view of how different organizations approach risk, investment, and delivery. An avid cyclist, Mike knows when to push, when to adjust course, and when a smarter route will get you further.
