Multidiscipline consulting engineering firm Coffman Engineers named Jeff Brace, a civil engineer in Anchorage, as one of four new Principal Shareholders. Colleagues in San Diego, Dallas, and Atlanta also received the promotion.

“We are very pleased to welcome Jeff into the owner-principal group,” says Ben Momblow, general manager of Coffman Engineers in Anchorage. “He has been a dedicated leader, managing large multifaceted projects and delivering great outcomes for our clients. He also has been a long-time steward of our culture through his mentorship and training of staff. Jeff brings a wealth of knowledge and we look forward to his continued contributions as a principal.”

Brace has more than twenty years of experience leading commercial and federal projects. His extensive portfolio includes managing design-build and design-bid-build projects for the military across Alaska, the West Coast, Hawai’i, and Guam, as well as overseeing commercial site design and water and sewer utility installations. His depth of experience with local and national institutions and coordinating with stakeholders and permitting agencies makes him an asset in complex infrastructure projects.

Building trusted relationships is a cornerstone of Jeff’s engineering and business acumen. He’s also a recipient of the Anchorage office’s Neil Pearson Service Award, a recognition selected by his peers for his mentorship, hard work ethic, and good nature.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
