At the Helm
Branch Manager Aaron Roy, P.E.
Leading our Auburn location is Aaron Roy, P.E., who serves as the Branch Manager. With over seven years of experience in geotechnical engineering and construction monitoring and consulting, Aaron specializes in planning, managing, and supervising geotechnical explorations. His expertise extends to on-site drilling, boring log preparation, and the development of geotechnical recommendations for projects with complex subsurface conditions.
Aaron’s work history has involved managing numerous site investigation programs and assisting in the preparation of comprehensive geotechnical reports. His experience encompasses a wide range of activities, including project management, subgrade proof rolling, monitoring undercut and backfill, evaluations of footing and subgrade bearing capacity, and foundation inspections.
Using his diverse skill set, Aaron applies his knowledge to ensure high-quality project outcomes and foster the growth of our Auburn team. When he’s not in the office, Aaron enjoys time with his family and concentrating on his greatest role of all: new dad.
