WESTFIELD, MA — Tighe & Bond, Inc., a northeastern company focusing on engineering, design, and environmental consulting, announces several promotions within key positions. Current Water Business Line Leader Peter Grabowski, PE will move into the roles of Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

As COO, Grabowski will coordinate the daily operations of Tighe & Bond’s 12 offices, focused on project delivery, quality management, and resource allocation; as CRO he will provide oversight of the firm’s professional liability matters and be actively involved in overall enterprise risk management. Grabowski will assume these roles from his predecessor, Bill Hardy, PE, who will remain Building Services Business Line Leader for the firm’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and GIS engineering teams.

To maintain continuity in leadership, the firm named Vice President Tiffany Labrie, PE, CDT to become the next Water Business Line Leader.
