“Being honored with CDM Smiths 2018 President’s Award for Innovation is my proudest accom­plish­ment,” he says. “It was a humbling experience and a reminder of how fortunate I am to work for a firm I’m so very proud of and with people I respect and care about while serving in a role I have a tremendous passion for.”

“For the first half of my career with CDM Smith I served as a technical resource supporting internal business tech­nolo­gies, but over the last ten years my role has evolved to spear­head­ing the use of disruptive tech­nolo­gies like drones, mixed reality and remote assist devices and helping establish CDM Smith as a leader in these fields and cementing our reputation as a truly innovative firm,” Scott says regarding his profes­sional evolution.
