WETHERSFIELD, CT — VHB announces the appointment of John Hapkiewicz as the Managing Director of the Wethersfield, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massachusetts, offices. In this role, Hapkiewicz will lead VHB’s efforts to help strengthen the state’s transportation and energy infrastructure, as well as partner with municipalities and developers to expand housing and enhance quality of life for community members.
Hapkiewicz joined VHB last year as Director of Transportation in Connecticut, leveraging nearly 30 years of transportation engineering and leadership experience to enhance collaboration with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), municipalities, and construction partners. His career began as a Project Engineer at CTDOT, and the professional relationships he has since cultivated have been integral to his work on several bridge and transportation projects throughout the Northeast. In just over a year, he has been instrumental in adding nearly 30 structures engineers to VHB’s team and significantly growing the office’s transportation market revenue.
Hapkiewicz steps into the Managing Director role with 25 years of prior leadership experience as Vice President at consulting firms Jacobs and AECOM. Hapkiewicz succeeds Robin Bousa, who is retiring later this year after a 30-year tenure at VHB.
