"The work I'm involved in improves communities, like delivering reliable access to clean water, and safer wastewater, storm water, and solid waste management facilities," says John Chandler, construc­tion management expert. With over four decades of experience in the industry, John has delivered projects valued at $350M.

He's experienced in providing project management, bid preparation, construc­tion management, and engineering and design services related to a variety of projects including water and wastewater plants, trans­porta­tion, sewer and storm drainage projects, engineering and marine construc­tion projects, and more. 

His proudest project was a nanofil­tra­tion expansion initiative for the Dania Beach WTP in Florida. "It was a design-build project and I was the liaison between the designer and builder," he says. "I was responsible for coor­di­nat­ing their efforts with each other, and with plant operations and owner project management. It was a truly collab­o­ra­tive project that earned LEEDS certi­fi­ca­tion and a DBA award."

"CDM Smith values people above all else," John says. "The firm provides resources and oppor­tu­ni­ties to further develop known skills, to discover and develop new skills, and to reach beyond your comfort zone to excel beyond your expec­ta­tions."
