PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:
Jacob Zilliox, PE, joined EVstudio as the Structural Engineering Lead for the EVolution Studio. He brings 12 years of structural design experience across wood, steel, concrete, and masonry systems. This range lets him match each project’s structure to its budget, schedule, and building type rather than defaulting to one system. His project experience includes water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, industrial process structures, and tilt-up concrete warehouses. Jacob is a licensed professional engineer in Colorado and Washington. He also holds Cal OES Safety Assessment Program (SAP) certification, which qualifies him to help evaluate the safety of buildings after disasters. He works closely with architects, contractors, and owners from early design through construction, which helps catch coordination issues before they reach the field.
PERSONAL:
Originally from Rockford, Illinois, Jacob enjoys learning about history and science and taking on DIY home projects. If he had a time machine, he would go full Doctor Who and explore all of time and space, with a special stop in the Neolithic period.
EDUCATION:
B.S. Civil Engineering, Colorado School of Mines
