HDR Promotes Miloš Vasiljević to Transportation Program Management Director

Miloš Vasiljević, a skilled leader on some of HDR’s largest transportation programs, has been named the company’s next transportation program management director. 

Based in Arizona, Vasiljević will set the strategic vision for the firm’s transportation program management practice, supporting clients and programs across all transportation markets. Vasiljević will also coordinate with HDR’s company-wide program management director and the program management directors in other markets to optimize strategy, services, quality control and client service across the company.

Vasiljević joined HDR nearly two decades ago and has served in leadership roles on some of the company’s most notable program management assignments, including the $1.7 billion South Mountain Freeway in Arizona, $2.5 billion Carolina Crossroads program in South Carolina and most recently leading HDR’s work as General Engineering Consultant on the I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor in Arizona, a nearly $1 billion program that includes four major projects stretching 26 miles near Phoenix. 

“The program management director role exists to help clients deliver transportation programs with greater certainty, less risk, and clearer alignment with their strategic goals,” said Vasiljević. “By standardizing best practices, leveraging robust project controls and data, and integrating advisory, technical and field services, we can help clients make better decisions faster and demonstrate tangible value from their investments. Ultimately, that translates into safer, more reliable, and more resilient transportation infrastructure for the communities we serve.” 

Program management encompasses a wide range of services that HDR provides, from program development and planning to design and construction management. It supplies clients a single trusted partner that looks across an entire program — not just individual projects — to manage scope, schedule, budget, risk and stakeholder expectations.​ The result is benefits that could not be obtained by managing each project individually. 

“Miloš stands out for his strong ability as a program builder, mentorship of others and his proven ability to be a trusted advisor for our clients,” said Transportation President Tom McLaughlin. “Both his technical and his interpersonal skills are top notch, and the programs he leads are better because of his involvement.”
