Effective January 1, 2025, PND Senior Vice President and Principal Engineer Dempsey Thieman is promoted to become the firm’s fifth President. Thieman was hired in 1995 (five months after Campbell, incidentally) and has managed hundreds of projects at PND from the Aleutian Islands to the North Slope. A professionally licensed civil and structural engineer, Thieman has overseen several large waterfront and expansive civil infrastructure developments. His arctic, coastal, and waterfront engineering expertise continue to push PND’s propensity for producing ambitious and innovative designs.
