Kevin Johns has been appointed to Vice President and will retain his role as Movable Bridge Business Unit Director. Johns joined the firm in 1998 and has gained experience on all types of railroad and highway movable bridges, including vertical lift, swing, and bascule. Within the past five years, he has served as either Project Manager or Task Leader on 28 movable bridge projects — eight of which had a construction cost of over $100 million. In his new role, Johns will provide input and strategic direction for both the Movable Bridges Business Unit and the firm at large.
Christopher Ahlskog has been promoted to Technical Manager. Since joining the firm in 1998, Ahlskog has mastered structural analysis, load rating, and both the design of new bridges and the rehabilitation of existing bridges — including highway, railroad, and movable bridge structures. He also has expertise in routine bridge and maintenance inspections spanning many different construction projects. In his new role, he will coordinate welding-related reviews and provide guidance for welding in design projects across the firm.
Daniel Irwin has been promoted to Project Manager. Irwin joined Modjeski and Masters in 2003 and works in the Railroad Business Unit. He has experience in the analysis, design, rehabilitation, and rating of movable, long span, and fixed highway and railroad bridges. In his new role, Irwin will rely on his experience to help build upon the firm’s reputation.
