Senior Principal & CEO

Veitas Engineers

As CEO of Veitas Engineers, Jonathan Bayreuther is humbled to guide the next generation of structural engineers dedicated to multifamily housing. Under his leadership, the more than 65-year legacy of the Veitas family lives on in a pragmatic approach to constructable, efficient buildings. Jonathan has spent his career building a reputation as a engineer that views the structural design as only one, albeit important, element of any project, and that ultimately a successful building is about the people that design, build, and eventually live in it. His focus on people applies both to buildings and developing a strong, resilient Veitas team, using lessons from his time developing mentoring programs at a previous firm and as chair of a National Engagement and Equity Summit for NCSEA. Prior to joining Veitas Engineers, Jonathan became a devotee of LEAN design methods and collaborative modeling with experience designing award-winning hospitals, labs, class-A offices, university housing and classroom buildings. A firm believer that work and life are not separate, he strives to balance shepherding his work team with being a father to four active kids and supporting his wife who homeschools them in southern NH.
