Great Place to Work®

2017-2019

If you can’t tell, Woolpert’s people are pretty awesome. Passionate about work and life, our people are as varied as our projects. We drive our company and our world.

Say hello to some of the many faces of Woolpert.

Qassim A.

Chief Scientist, Arlington

Mapmaker, scientist, drone pilot, professor—Qassim wears a lot of hats. And sports an applauded mile-long CV. Favorite thing about working @ Woolpert? “Unleashed freedom to think, create and grow professionally.” He’s driven yet adorably humble. Yes, we went there.

Bakes bread, preferably sourdough and seeded pumpernickel. Weirdest thing he’s ever eaten—sheep brains. And he LIKED them.

Latice S.

Proposal Manager, Telecommuter

Can connecting with people be a passion? That’s a yes. “And it’s a passion best exercised through travel.” Vacation 24/7? That would be sweet. Favorite travel destination is the lovely Caribbean.

Whether exploring different cultures or crafting swanky proposals, this aspiring magician (seriously) and magazine editor encourages her young daughter to think variety. Business? Sure. Magic? If it’s in the cards.

Aaron L.

Project Director, Roads & Bridges, Dayton

Aaron’s been making maps @ Woolpert for 16 years. High-tech maps, to be precise, often from aerial and drone photos. And boy is he good at it. He’s a big change agent and loves Woolpert-izing technologies like UAS. When not making maps, Aaron can be found fishing with his father in Michigan’s U.P. Biggest fish—a whopping 22lb rainbow trout. Biggest compliment from a client? His no-BS attitude.

What you won’t find is Aaron jogging. “If you see me running, you’d better run, too.”

If you can’t tell, Woolpert’s people are pretty awesome. Passionate about work and life, our people are as varied as our projects. We drive our company and our world.

Say hello to some of the many faces of Woolpert.

Nathan H.

Engineering PM, Stennis

Dr. Nate—data science and R&D whiz. Bourbon and golf enthusiast. Will be placing a putter in his son’s hands as soon as he can hold it. This Tennessee Volunteer super fan with a passion for travel and cooking is known for riding on Mardi Gras floats (don’t ask).
“Go Vols!”

Roxanne S.

Learning and Development Coach, HR Business Partner, Dayton

From developing Woolpert University to working with addicts in a prison ministry, Roxanne helps people help themselves. Obsessive about her daughter, salsa dancing and pizza (only food she’ll get gluten-sick for). Born in Italy (Army brat) but has called seven Dayton suburbs home. Most embarrassing moment? Choking on a bug during a live audio presentation.

Most beautiful yet frightening travel destination? Columbia, South America. Almost as frightening—Roxanne’s reaction to people crunching ice. Bucket list: finishing her private pilot training and licensure.

Richard W.

Water PM, Atlanta

A Project Manager for the water market, Richard manages close to $4M a year in sanitary programs. His current challenge is integrating Woolpert’s water services into the aviation market. Been with Woolpert 12 proud years. And he’s a new opportunity junkie on both the work and personal sides. His upcoming wish-list trip may involve a certain island in Greece. Santorini, please!

Bobby S.

Architect, Chesapeake

Bobby’s creativity never sleeps—architectural drawings by day, oil paintings by night. Enjoys the techy side of his craft and discovering new methods, yet completely addicted to routine.

When he’s not selling some of his more than 75 oil paintings (mostly of abstract trees), he’s cruising with his wife in his two Mustangs. Digs participating in charity efforts and regularly donates art for auctions.

Jeremy Q.

Google Account Exec, Dayton

Self-described “Google evangelist,” Jeremy was born a salesman. Woolpert claim to fame: helping his team win Google Maps Partner of the Year. High school curler (ice, not hair) and avid collector of vinyl records. Prizes his Mars Volta LP and all things tiki, but HATES Norwegian lutefisk, aka fish jello (obviously).

This native Minnesotan is laid-back and easygoing—just don’t ask him for a meeting to schedule another meeting. Those inspire his, ahem, affinity for directness.

Crystal C.

Geospatial PM, Dayton

Mapmaker extraordinaire. Crystal worked her way up from temp receptionist to managing aerial photo projects across Ohio. Loves her job—and her clients. Has an “attitude of gratitude” and a knack for perseverance. Was a dino-loving kid who grew up on squirrels-n-dumplins’ in Louisiana. (Didn’t realize that was a thing.)

When not making maps, Crystal nurtures a furniture addiction—and three teenage boys. And you thought you were busy…

Holly S.

Marketing Manager, Columbus

Holly clarifies and accelerates her groups’ marketing efforts without breaking a sweat. She’s known for challenging the norm—and stealing chocolate from co-workers. Crazy for horses, too (she used to show them and still rides trails), ever since watching Secretariat win the Triple Crown.

Favorite Woolpert success? UAS work @ the Savannah airport. “It was a marketer’s dream to bring to life all that they’re doing with that technology.” Pet peeve? “People who phone it in; you know, don’t do their best.”

Jeff F.

Client Service Director, Telecommuter

Jeff loves ideas but runs from widgets. Creates sellers out of doers by “leading people in the right direction and then getting out of their way.” In a previous life, managed pine beetles for the U.S. Forest Service. Professor Jeff treats Texas A&M students to twice-yearly lectures on geoscience.

He’s crazy proud of 3 cool kids—a “budding Jane Goodall,” music/radio producer and microbrewer. Loves alpine geomythology (what?) and biking. But not necessarily at the same time.

Aaron L.

Project Director, Roads & Bridges, Dayton

Aaron’s been making maps @ Woolpert for 16 years. High-tech maps, to be precise, often from aerial and drone photos. And boy is he good at it. He’s a big change agent and loves Woolpert-izing technologies like UAS. When not making maps, Aaron can be found fishing with his father in Michigan’s U.P. Biggest fish—a whopping 22lb rainbow trout.
