Tim Ward, P.E.

“Airports are like small cities with many critical parts that overall make the difference for all passengers as well as the many employees who work there every day. I love having the opportunity to work on the many different parts that make airports an enjoyable and unique destination in themselves.” 

With more than 15 years in the aviation field, Tim has firsthand experience with the wide range of diverse, interconnected aviation projects that we have the resources and technical knowledge to support. His core projects include runways, taxiways and aprons, as well as terminal modernization projects including baggage handling systems, hydrant fueling systems, boarding bridges, roadways, parking lots, utilities, airspace and site development projects. Tim serves as a senior technical advisor and project manager as well as a mentor to many of our talented young professionals. 

Experienced with a broad range of airside, terminal and landside programs, Tim has gained valuable perspective through his involvement in a wide variety of projects and positions.

He is known for his dedication to his clients and commitment to quality.
