NorthStar Engineering

NorthStar Engineering NorthStar is Civil Engineering, Planning, and Surveying The Mission of NorthStar is to Develop People Who Enhance Our Communities.

At first glance this may not appear like our mission has anything to do with architecture, surveying or engineering, but at the end of the day everything we do is about people. We hire great people and invest in them intentionally so that they are growing and learning, continuing to love what they do, and working in an environment that supports their best work. Our team is then able to serve our c

ustomers with excellence and the result is quality projects that make our communities a better place to live, work and play. Keeping our focus on our people allows us to attract and retain the best team possible, a team that is committed to doing great work and doing it in a way that makes the projects and process more enjoyable for everyone. We are committed to hiring people who are excellent at what they do, but also are aligned with our values and excited about the mission we have. TEAMCENTRIC

In July, Paradise Elementary School celebrated the grand opening of its newly rebuilt campus, marking the completion of the last of four schools destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire.

NorthStar had the opportunity to be part of this important project, providing the initial topographic survey, site civil design, and wastewater design for the new campus.

Now, students and teachers are filling the classrooms, library, STEM spaces, and outdoor learning areas as a new school year begins.

We hope they have an amazing school year!

Earlier this month, the NorthStar team had the opportunity to celebrate an exciting milestone for our community: the ribbon cutting of the Enloe Health Gonzales Comprehensive Cancer Center!

NorthStar has been part of this project since design began in 2023, providing engineering and surveying services.

Now complete, the new center will bring cancer care services together in one location, giving patients throughout the North State greater access to comprehensive care close to home.

It’s incredibly rewarding to see a project move from plans and groundbreaking to a completed facility that will have such a meaningful impact.

Congratulations to Enloe Health and all of the project partners who helped bring this vision to life. We’re grateful to have been part of the journey.

Last week the NorthStar team joined Enloe Health and fellow project partners for the groundbreaking of the new Heart, Vascular, and Imaging Center on East Avenue.

The new 68,000-square-foot facility will bring heart, vascular, and imaging services together in one location, expanding access to care and bringing new technology and resources to patients throughout our region.

We’re grateful to be part of another Enloe Health project that will have a meaningful impact on our community.

What makes the NavVis VLX3 Scanner such a valuable tool?

✔ ADA Design-Level Results
Capture high-detail scans that meet ADA design-level standards, helping support accessible designs from the very beginning.

✔ One Walk. Total Recall.
Document steps, slopes, structures, utility markings, and natural features in a single site visit, reducing the need to return to the field.

✔ More Than a CAD File
Create a complete visual record of your site that can be referenced throughout the design process whenever questions arise.

✔ Faster & More Cost-Effective
The NavVis VLX3 significantly speeds up field work. Projects requiring three or more days of surveying can see a minimum cost savings of 20%, with savings reaching up to 40% on projects exceeding five days.

✔ Never Miss a Detail
Need to verify the height of a tree or the width of a sidewalk months later? The information is already captured in detail.

Good food, great company, and a little friendly competition.

Last week, the NorthStar team gathered at Hatchet Hangout for our annual Summer Social. It was a great opportunity to step away from our desks, spend time together, and enjoy an afternoon of fun outside the office.

A big thank you to Tacos Jalisco for the delicious food!

Celebrating 5 Years! 🎉

This week, we’re celebrating Kellie Emery and her 5-year anniversary at NorthStar!

Since joining the team in 2020, Kellie has become a valued member of our Civil Engineering team. As an Assistant II Civil Engineer, she enjoys the variety her role brings, from roadway projects and hydrology reports to commercial site design and onsite inspections. She also enjoys helping others learn and making sure everyone involved in a project feels like part of the team.

Some of the projects Kellie is especially proud of include the Cape Cod Apartments in Paradise and the CTHP Behavioral and Dental Clinic in Mendocino County. Both projects have a personal connection for her, allowing her to give back to communities that are close to her heart.

Outside of work, Kellie enjoys spending time with her dog, Rebel, tending to her roses and fruit trees, practicing yoga, reading fantasy books, and playing video games. Originally from Ukiah, she moved to Chico to attend Chico State and began her career with NorthStar shortly after graduating.

Congratulations on 5 years, we’re grateful to have you as part of the NorthStar team!
