“Transportation infrastructure is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, and strengthening this foundational system will be imperative moving forward from a global crisis,” said Mike DeBacker, Vice President and Transportation Group General Manager at Burns & McDonnell. “Steve is deeply passionate about designing and building innovative transportation infrastructure that will support our communities for generations. His wealth of industry experience, robust leadership abilities, and dynamic vision perfectly position him to lead our transportation construction services in this critical moment and beyond.”
With two decades of transportation construction experience, Kellerman has spearheaded large-scale infrastructure projects for public and private sector clients throughout the Midwest. As Chief Engineer for a regional construction company, he oversaw construction of major interchanges, bridges, and interstates and led development projects for residential, commercial, and retail properties.
Most recently, Kellerman served as third-party Manager for a $288-million design-build project in eastern Kansas, supporting the construction of 27 bridges and two diverging diamond interchanges.
“Now more than ever, complex transportation projects require multidisciplinary collaboration and reliable, cost-effective design,” Kellerman said. “I am proud to lead a team that has decades of experience in designing and building some of the nation’s most challenging transportation structures. We diligently assess a project’s unique risks, complexity, budget, and schedule to tailor our approach and deliver solutions that meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.”
