In conjunction with this development, Neel-Schaffer has appointed Jamie Collins, PE, as Arkansas Operations Manager.<\/p>\n<p>Neel-Schaffer provides road and bridge engineering design services to the Arkansas Department of Transportation, and establishing a Little Rock office is a natural progression in the firm&#8217;s commitment to serving the state with innovative engineering solutions, guided by Neel-Schaffer\u2019s core values of Care, Service, and Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie brings over 30 years of expertise in civil engineering and public service. For the past 12 years, he has held various roles with the City of Little Rock, most recently as Director of Planning and Development, where he managed all aspects of private construction, roads, subdivisions, building permits, and rezoning applications. An Arkansas native, Jamie earned his Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Arkansas Tech University. His career includes 17 years in Arkansas and additional experience in California and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jamie\u2019s wealth of experience and leadership will be a tremendous asset as we establish and grow our Little Rock office,&#8221; said Melinda McGrath, PE, Executive Vice President for Neel-Schaffer\u2019s Central Region. &#8220;He is also a great fit for our company because of the way he embodies the Neel-Schaffer values of Care, Service, and Excellence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jamie said his goal is to expand Neel-Schaffer\u2019s presence in Arkansas, making the firm\u2019s full suite of engineering, construction management and consulting services available across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great opportunity to build something new,\u201d Jamie said. \u201cWe are an excellent firm that has an established presence in the Southeast.
