Carolynn Gellings, owner of Gellings Technical Services LLC, has spent her entire engineering career in the Milwaukee area contributing to a number of notable projects. She led the I-794/Hoan Bridge reconstruction project for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and served as construction manager for the Hop streetcar’s first phase of rail and wire system construction.
Following those projects, she served as engineering services manager for Waukesha County Department of Public Works, leading the engineering division and serving as the county engineer.
Since then, she has started her own engineering firm, with a focus on stakeholder engagement on infrastructure projects.
“She is known for her ability to both lead large technical teams and work tirelessly with stakeholders impacted by her projects,” said Ian Abston, director of the Hoan Group. “The Hop construction exemplifies this, as she coordinated with more than 700 stakeholders along the route, dealing with a range of issues, including multi-year utility and construction work, safety coordination of an electrified system, valet parking reconfiguration, and Summerfest traffic planning.”
