Neel-Schaffer, Inc., is pleased to announce that Richard Aillet, PE, the former director of engineering services for the City of Ruston, La., has joined the firm and will work out of Neel-Schaffer\u2019s office in Shreveport, La.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Aillet will serve as a Senior Project Manager, with an emphasis on water and wastewater projects. He worked for the City of Ruston for 14 years, eight as the director of water utilities and the last six as the director of engineering services. Prior to that, he worked in the private sector as an engineer and project manager in Louisiana and Texas.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cAs a professional engineer with many years of experience in both the consultant and municipal arenas, with an emphasis in utility engineering, Richard will be a tremendous asset to the region and the firm, particularly in north Louisiana,\u201d said Jerry Trumps, Neel-Schaffer\u2019s Southwest Area Manager. \u201cRichard will provide both technical and project support, along with business development support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trumps said Aillet\u2019s addition puts Neel-Schaffer \u201cat an even higher level in north Louisiana, especially considering his engineering background in water and wastewater.\u201d Additionally, said Trumps, \u201che adds significant depth to the Neel-Schaffer overall discipline as we continue to expand our water and wastewater discipline throughout the Southwest Region and firm-wide.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to do work back in Shreveport, where I grew up, was really inviting,\u201d said Aillet. \u201cI have a lot of engineering friends in the industry there, and the chance to go back and network and work with them in that environment is something I\u2019m really excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aillet holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Louisiana State University and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Louisiana Tech University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
