Tim Ratay, Preconstruction Executive
Tim joined MEB in 2018! With over 20 years of valuable construction and preconstruction experience, he quickly grew into the role of leading preconstruction at MEB.
Ohio Creek’s Ballentine Pump Station
He’s most proud of his work on the Ohio Creek Watershed Project. Tim said, “That project was a big milestone for the company as it was the first large-scale, competitively bid alternate delivery project we won and was the first pursuit I worked on. It was a very tough preconstruction phase. It required a lot of value engineering and collaboration to get the project to a GMP, let alone constructing it and ultimately deeming it a successful project for all involved”.
Tim said he looks forward to the future of MEB as we build on our reputation as a trusted alternative delivery partner. He said MEB is the most employee-focused company he has worked for.
“Tim excels at developing innovative ways to attack problems and provide constructable solutions for our partners and MEB. We look forward to the future growth of MEB with Tim leading our preconstruction efforts.” // David Ervin, MEB President
