“We are extremely excited to add Environmental Services to our portfolio with Pete’s leadership,” said Sessyle Asato, PNW Group Leader. “While we will continue to team with our long-standing partners, the addition of this discipline will provide us opportunities to deliver in-house environmental planning, permitting, and documentation expertise to our clients.”

Pete has worked on numerous federally funded transportation projects. He delivers a proven track record of managing and executing environmental compliance and permitting for infrastructure and restoration projects across the Pacific Northwest.
Pete has served as Project Manager for many vital regional projects, including the BPA Shelton-Fairmount No. 1 Fiber Upgrade and Line Rebuild on the Olympic Peninsula and the Elliott Bay Acclimation Net Pen Improvement Project for the Port of Seattle.
