Career growth takes many forms. For some, it means developing new technical expertise. For others, it means taking on leadership responsibilities, building stronger client relationships, or finding new ways to contribute to project teams and communities.
This year, those efforts were recognized through 167 promotions across our firm—about 40% of our staff— including the 46 individuals below who have stepped into new roles as of July 2026.
Each promotion represents a personal accomplishment as well as the many ways our staff learn from, encourage, and support one another along the way.
Congratulations to our team members on this milestone! We’re grateful for the dedication, curiosity, and collaboration they bring to our work. We look forward to seeing the impact they continue to make in the years ahead.

Seattle tackled this with quick-build corrals, using simple outlines to guide parking right away, then upgrading to durable markings and in-street designs. See how we helped screen sites, refine locations in the field, and scale for daily use and major events.
