Zephyr Rail is proud to share that Michelle Sabers has been named a 2026 Rising Star of the AEC Industry by Zweig Group — a national honor recognizing the next generation of leaders across architecture, engineering, and construction.

Michelle has quickly become a structural engineer who pairs technical precision with genuine investment in the people and the profession around her.

“Her ability to pair sharp technical execution with a real commitment to advancing the field is exactly what sets a rising leader apart.”

Her impact reaches well beyond project delivery. Michelle has helped strengthen Zephyr Rail from the inside through internal engineering tool development, and she invests in the engineers coming up behind her — mentoring students and leading licensure initiatives within ASCE.
