Local engineering firm Stantec has added two transportation industry veterans to its South Burlington team. Both are former Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) employees with extensive experience with Vermont’s roads and highways.
Jim Harris is a transportation engineer with over 40 years of experience working for state transportation agencies. After spending the majority of his career with the New York State Department of Transportation, during the last 10 years he worked for VTrans, leading the $200-million Route 279 project in Bennington and the Morrisville Alternate Truck route near Stowe. Harris also served as the Vermont Governor’s representative to the Champlain Bridge Closure Emergency Committee, which established a temporary ferry service to transport people across the lake while the new bridge was constructed.
Similarly, Harry Petrovs, LS, spent the last 20 years lending his expertise in right of way planning and engineering to VTrans’ right of way unit. Before that, he worked for years as a surveyor and forestry expert for a number of local engineering firms.
Stantec’s South Burlington team has nearly 60 transportation, environmental, and infrastructure design professionals.
We’re active members of the communities we serve. That’s why at Stantec, we always design with community in mind. The Stantec community unites more than 13,000 specialists working in over 200 locations. Our work—professional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics—begins at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships. With a long-term commitment to the people and places we serve, Stantec has the unique ability to connect to projects on a personal level and advance the quality of life in communities across the globe.
