Tim Fish and Tim Ward to Lead Eastern U.S. Aviation Strategy
HDR has appointed new regional aviation leads to support its growing Eastern U.S. client base. Tim Fish will lead the Southeast, while Tim Ward takes charge in the Northeast.
As senior members of the aviation leadership team, they will lead multidisciplinary project teams and collaborate directly with clients to advance airport facilities. They will also set HDR’s aviation strategy for the region and strengthen services for current and future clients.
Fish brings more than 20 years of experience in construction management and civil engineering, spanning airfield design, land development, environmental remediation and geotechnical engineering for public and private clients. He has led multiple complex airfield and terminal projects at major airports. Fish frequently serves as project principal or director on major South Florida projects, putting the right technical resources in place to deliver high-quality work on time and within budget.
Ward has more than two decades of experience managing design on active airfields and delivering continuous design solutions. His work across a wide range of airports has sharpened his ability to evaluate available information, identify additional requirements to meet client objectives and move projects forward efficiently. Ward has led major airfield programs, including the 72-hour rehabilitation of Runway 4-22 at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, and the nearly $200 million North Airfield Development program at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
“As our aviation practice continues to grow across the Eastern United States, aligning our leadership structure with our clients’ needs is essential,” said HDR Aviation Director Bill Peduzzi. “Tim Fish and Tim Ward bring deep technical expertise, proven leadership and strong client relationships to their respective regions. Their experience will be instrumental as we continue delivering innovative, high-quality solutions that help airports plan, build and operate for the future.”
