Connect with Emily on LinkedIn: Emily Compaan
MCE is proud to congratulate Emily Compaan on being named one of Finance & Commerce’s 2026 Rising Young Professionals! The award recognizes people early in their careers who are already showing leadership, giving back to their communities, and making an impact in their industries.
As a mechanical designer on MCE’s aviation team, Emily consistently delivers strong work, and her role has grown with it. Beyond design, she now handles construction administration, attending construction meetings and running weekly site walks to keep projects moving. She’s also investing in her own growth, having passed the FE exam and now working toward her PE.
Emily is one of the people who make MCE a great place to work. She welcomes and trains new hires so they feel supported from day one, photographs our projects, supports our social media, and serves on the events committee.
Outside the office, Emily volunteers with Feed My Starving Children and Artisan Youth Group. Each year, she leads a team to Ensenada, Mexico with YUGO Ministries to build homes for local families. This year, she also traveled to Mongolia and the Dominican Republic with Engineering Ministries International to put her HVAC design skills to work on community facilities.
We’re glad to have Emily on the MCE team and can’t wait to see where her career goes next. Congratulations, Emily!
