(December 19, 2022) \u2013 Neel-Schaffer has promoted Graham Legate, PE, DBIA, to fill the new role of Construction Management Practice Leader.<\/p>\n<p>Neel-Schaffer\u2019s staff of Construction Engineers and Inspectors has grown to more than 100 across the company\u2019s nine-state footprint.\u00a0 In this new role, Legate will be responsible for supporting all operations and business development as well as other needs for all Construction Management and Inspection staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGraham\u2019s experience with Neel-Schaffer and his time in the construction industry makes him the perfect fit for this role as we continue to expand our Construction Management Practice,\u201d said Chief Operations Officer <strong>Robert Walker<\/strong>, PE. \u201cGraham has already worked with many of our construction managers across the company, helping them with scheduling and other construction related issues. We see this as a seamless transition into this role where he will now be working daily with our construction management groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Legate has 15-plus years of experience in Transportation\/Construction design and management, including nearly 13 years in two different stints with Neel-Schaffer. In between those stints with Neel-Schaffer, he worked for three years for a regional construction company where he specialized in major interstate reconstruction projects with high traffic volumes and detailed traffic control requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am thankful for this opportunity to lead our company\u2019s construction staff into the next phase of growth for our firm,\u201d said Legate. \u201cConstruction is a fast-paced, ever-evolving sector that requires a special skillset to achieve success. Our recent growth is a testament to our staff\u2019s capabilities, and I am excited to help continue that growth in more states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Legate is a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. He holds DBIA certification from the Design Build Institute of America and he is a Registered Professional Engineer in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, and Arkansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JACKSON, Miss.
