Dewberry announced that David Sutley, PE, has been hired as a senior project
manager in the firm’s Denver, Colorado, office.

Sutley joins the firm’s resilience solutions
group with more than 15 years of experience working for four federal agencies,
including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Weather
Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). He
previously managed the delivery of large-scale, multi-frequency inundation
mapping to the counties and communities of North Dakota. This large-scale,
base-level engineering project represented the first time a 2D rain-on-grid
hydraulic model had been utilized to produce flood risk data that meets FEMA guidelines
and standards at a statewide scale. In his new role with Dewberry, Sutley is
responsible for project management and business development.

“We are very excited to welcome David to the
firm,” says Dewberry Associate Vice President Jean Huang, PE, CFM, ENV SP. “His
knowledge and expertise in mapping and water resources for federal agencies is
a valuable asset, and we’re excited about being able to continue offering these
services to our clients in the West.”

Sutley earned a master’s degree in water
resources engineering (2005) and a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering
(2003), both from the University of Alabama.
