Adam Young Returns to Freese and Nichols as Facilities Practice Leader
Adam Young, PE, CEM, has rejoined Freese and Nichols as Facilities Practice Leader, bringing extensive technical expertise, leadership experience and a client-focused perspective to the role.
As practice leader, Adam is helping guide the strategic direction and growth of our Facilities groups, strengthen client partnerships and connect architecture and specialized engineering expertise across the firm to deliver comprehensive solutions for complex facility projects.
“This role is about strategy, building relationships and connecting people,” Adam said. “I enjoy bringing teams and expertise together to find solutions and create opportunities for our clients.”
Service Director Vimal Nair has seen the Facilities practice grow significantly in recent years, both in the services we provide and the markets and regions we serve.
“Adam brings a unique combination of technical leadership, strong client relationships and a deep understanding of our people and culture,” Vimal said. “His experience and perspective position him well to build on that momentum and lead Facilities through its next stage of growth.”
Adam previously spent 18 years at Freese and Nichols, advancing from technical engineering into project management, operations and leadership. His background includes mechanical and electrical engineering and complex facility systems in aviation, infrastructure and institutional environments. His experience spans the facility lifecycle, from planning and design through construction, commissioning and operations.
After leaving Freese and Nichols, Adam broadened his industry perspective through work on the DFW Airport Terminal F program. His experience on the owner and program delivery side strengthened his understanding of client priorities and how engineering decisions affect construction, budgets, operations and long-term facility performance.
Together, his consulting and owner-side experience gives Adam a well-balanced understanding of complex facility projects and the importance of aligning technical solutions with clients’ broader goals.
Returning to Freese and Nichols also allows Adam to build on the relationships and knowledge he developed during his earlier career with the firm.
“This opportunity aligned with exactly where I wanted to take my career,” Adam said. “I’m excited to be back at Freese and Nichols and build on the strengths of this practice.”
Based out of our Fort Worth headquarters, Adam is focused on building on the practice’s established expertise, strengthening collaboration across disciplines and identifying opportunities to deliver greater value to clients while supporting the continued growth of Facilities.
Adam earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kansas State University.
