Carlson began his career at Westwood in 2003. In his most recent role as Director, Land Survey Services, Carlson worked closely with the service group to improve operational consistency, bring alignment to the service group and markets, and identify and pursue strategic business development opportunities. In addition, Carlson worked in collaboration with Westwood’s Power Division to expand the service offerings to include geospatial technology such as drones, terrestrial scanning, and GIS. Carlson is an advocate for investment in staff development. With his support, the group implemented the NSPS Certified Survey Technician (CST) program at Westwood in which 27 employees are currently certified at various levels.
In his new role, Carlson will lead Westwood’s Land service groups to include water resources, planning and landscape architecture, transportation, and water/wastewater. He will support operations and the strategic objectives of the division expansion of Westwood’s existing services and explore the opportunity to implement new services that best support the firm’s customer base.
