Meet our Team

In addition to our leadership team, day-to-day project management duties are shared among the firm’s Associates. The Associates are a group of exceptionally dedicated professionals and technicians.

Our Associates include professional engineers, professional land surveyors, licensed water/sewer operators, and experienced engineering technicians. Each month, the Principals and Associates meet to discuss our client’s projects, our service level to them, and any emerging opportunities available for their consideration.
