Masha Dinaburg, Associate Principal at MG Engineering D.P.C, Top 10 Inspiring Women Leaders of 2022

"Leading with Persistence & Determination"

Masha Dinaburg is an Associate Principal with over 30 years of diverse engineering experience, including office high-rise residential and apartment buildings, mixed-use developments, central heating and refrigeration plants, pharmaceutical facilities, government facilities, hotels, and universities. She is responsible for all aspects of HVAC engineering, from system requirements through completion of construction, as well as cost estimates, energy conservation studies, and project management.

Masha is a support system to the female business owners who are trying hard to establish themselves. She states, “Well, I’d say for any female owners to not only break any stereotypes but to be a pioneer in your field. You only can succeed if you are passionate about your job. I feel like you have to love what you are doing. So persist and continue your education to be a frontrunner.” She has also been inspiring and empowering team members to become great leaders of tomorrow because she is a big believer in leading by example. “So, I have very high demands for myself, as I focus on the quality of my work. And by working closely with my team members I am trying to guide them to their succession,” adds Masha.

MG Engineering (MGE), formed in 1991, is a full-service consulting engineering firm specializing in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, fire alarm, lighting and commissioning/sustainability services. In addition, they offer information technology, premise security, and audiovisual services through their technology firm MGE Unified Technologies. MGE engineers and designers are exclusively qualified to solve today’s varied and complex engineering problems. MGE operates on the cutting edge of technological innovation and delivers the engineering solutions of tomorrow today. Their collective engineering experience covers a broad range of sectors including but not limited to residential and mixed-use developments, corporate interiors, building infrastructure, retail, hospitality, healthcare, educational, institutional, nursing home/assisted living, laboratory and research, governmental, data/telecommunication centers, restaurants, theaters, and cultural/recreational.

Masha has been working in the engineering field for over 30 years. “I love engineering and view every project that I had completed as a success story. My role over these 30 years has changed, but my excitement of coming to the project site to see each completed building makes me proud every time,” she elucidates. “It’s amazing to see hundreds of my completed projects used for residential, hotels, offices, schools, pharmaceutical, and medical facilities. All of them are changing their neighborhoods in positive ways. But if I was to take anything from my career it isn’t so much about valuing the results, as great as they can be. Instead, I have realized that you must enjoy the journey of creating each project, and the personal evolution that comes with it.”

During her career journey, Masha has learned several leadership lessons. Still, the most important one she shares is, “As a female leader I recognize that having strong organizational skills and the ability to negotiate are among some characteristics that I can recognize in other female leaders.” Armed with such a unique ideology, Masha has taken the company to new heights.

One of the most significant achievements of MGE is growing at an unprecedented rate. Thanks to Masha and her team, the company found the necessary guidance to enhance themselves. “When I joined the company, I helped to create the current structure of the company by organizing teams. This restructuring helped to improve workload balance and the quality of our services.”

Masha wants to find more time to help her city with environmental and energy conservation goals using her engineering knowledge for the days to come. “I want to continue working with my partners to build a bigger and stronger company with more diverse portfolio of the projects.” She adds, “I realized that one of the most useful tools you can use is positivity. You must stay optimistic and go to your goal no matter what types of hurdles exist. Because when we are optimistic then we have a better ability to solve any problems.” WL
