NORFOLK, VA — HDR has promoted Mike Tugman, P.E. to East Region Program Management Leader to help lead its holistic program management services.

“Mike’s deep connections throughout the industry will allow [him] to assist DOTs and private concessionaires in developing innovative, holistic solutions and providing overall support — from planning, funding, and design to procurement, delivery, and maintenance," said Transportation Program Management Director Erin Slayton.

With over 30 years of multidisciplinary experience, Tugman will drive the delivery of holistic program management services for clients in all transport markets throughout the Eastern U.S. He will continue the diversification of HDR’s capabilities, helping teams and clients capitalize on value-added services and coordination throughout the project life cycle.

Tugman brings project management and task leader experience on large, complex highway programs as well as small, fast-paced projects. His experience extends to various alternative delivery methods, including design-build and public-private partnership projects. For more than 20 years, he has been involved with Eastern Federal Lands Highways Division indefinite delivery/quantity contract task orders. Recent experience includes managing a multifaceted design-build interstate managed lanes program near Washington, D.C. for Virginia DOT and developing and delivering a $3-billion express lanes program along I-95/395/495 in Northern Virginia with Transurban.
