He holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering from the University of Mostar, Bosnia.
Mojica joins HKA as an associate director, bringing more than 20 years of experience in architecture and construction management. He has expertise across claims dispute and analysis, cost analysis, negotiation, schedule development and analysis, and technical document development, among other areas.
Mojica previously spent over a decade at BRG, where he was a senior managing consultant. Before that, he spent three years as a senior consultant in Navigant’s construction practice. He was also previously a project manager at MTS Construction and an architectural expeditor at Parlovecchio Building & Development.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Lawrence Technological University.
"Detroit has seen unprecedented growth and revitalization over the last 10 years with continued commitment of private and public investment. Mile and Francisco offer the right type of expertise and experience to help us capitalize on this opportunity," said Frank Giunta, HKA partner and head of Americas.
London-headquartered HKA has more than 1,000 consultants across 40 offices in 17 countries, including 20 in the US.
