Congratulations to Amanda Beck Larkin, PE, CFPS, CET on her promotion to Project Delivery Department Manager in our Buildings Division.

Her expertise and commitment have been instrumental in driving numerous high-profile projects to completion, and her proactive problem-solving skills have consistently set her apart.

As Sr. Design Process Group Manager, she managed the overall planning, monitoring, and implementation of the design process and quality improvements for the Buildings division, as well as collaboration across all our divisions for consistency.
