JACKSON, Miss. (March 27, 2023) \u2013 Zach Foster, PE, is the new Engineer Manager of Neel-Schaffer\u2019s office in Columbus, Mississippi, the firm announced today.<\/p>\n

Foster succeeds Kevin Stafford, PE, who will continue to work out of the Columbus office. Stafford also serves as Vice President for Neel-Schaffer\u2019s North Mississippi Operation, which includes offices in Columbus, Starkville, Southaven, and West Point. The West Point office was added on February 10, with the acquisition of Calvert-Spradling Engineering, Inc.<\/p>\n

“Zach has demonstrated excellent project management skills, making it the right time in his professional development for him to advance to this new role,” said Stafford.<\/p>\n

Foster, a Columbus native, began his career at Neel-Schaffer in 2011 and has been based in the Columbus office ever since. In January 2023, he was named a Vice President within the company.<\/p>\n

“I am thrilled and grateful for this opportunity for both myself and my family,” Foster expressed. “My wife and I are fortunate to have found careers close to our hometowns, and this promotion is incredibly significant for me. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the growth of this office in the next five years.”<\/p>\n

Foster also serves on the Board of Directors for the Columbus-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Stafford praised Foster, saying, “He has exceptional people skills and is well-regarded in our community. Zach is dedicated to serving the community where he was born and raised.”<\/p>\n

Foster holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Mississippi State University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
