RESPEC welcomes Mike Rabe as the new Director of Transportation in its Infrastructure (INF) business unit. In this role, Rabe works out of the Anchorage office, managing air- and land-based transportation projects.
Rabe has thirty years of experience in Alaska infrastructure. He earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from UAA. Rabe has been an active member and leader in several organizations, such as the American Council of Engineering Consultants—Alaska Chapter, the Alaska Professional Design Council, and Anchorage Tomorrow, all of which he has served as president.
“As the new Director of Transportation, I am eager to build positive relationships with my team and clients,” Rabe says. “I look forward to upholding RESPEC’s core values of passion, accountability, caring, and teamwork and working collaboratively to achieve all our shared goals.”
