Jacobs Associates expands Vancouver office
4 July 2013Jacobs Associates has opened a larger office with locally based staff dedicated to British Columbian (BC) projects. The expansion will help the firm better provide tunnel and underground engineering for hydroelectric, mining, water supply, wastewater, rail, highway, and other transportation projects in the BC and the Western Canadian market, the company said earlier today.
Associate Peter Raleigh, PEng, and Staff Engineer Stephanie Fekete will be relocating to Vancouver and joining lead associate Dean Brox, PEng, to support the expansion, the company said. Recently hired staff engineer, Jose Aguilar, and project engineer, Katerina Sakarova, will also be joining the Vancouver team.
Dean Brox, who helped establish the company's new Vancouver office in November 2011, said: "Vancouver is a great city for Jacobs Associates to establish a new office in and serve the local British Columbian and Canadian market. Our local clients have already expressed their gratitude at seeing our on-the-ground presence for face-to-face meetings on short notice, and the delivery of services in a timely manner."
