About Andrew Bennett
I grew up on the Lake Erie waterfront at my Dad\'s marina/boat yard and am now an MIT-trained naval architect with a passion for the “big picture” challenges faced by the working waterfront. My background includes more than 30 years of planning, design, and construction of waterfront facilities, vessels, and terminals. Building on my master’s degree in Coastal Zone Management from the University of Washington, I have managed numerous waterfront planning and design projects, ranging from single vessel education/tour services to 15-vessel high-speed ferry systems. My recent experience includes the design of the world’s longest cable ferry system in British Columbia, a new award-winning, multi-modal ferry terminal in Mukilteo, WA, and a number of ferry planning, operations, and maintenance studies on both the East and West Coasts. I am also the board president of Northwest Seaport, a maritime heritage and workforce development non-profit organization in Seattle, and a past president of the Seattle Propeller Club.Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG) AssociateCore Values: Community - Diversity - Respect - CelebrationStrength Finders Top 5:1.

Experience
Principal, Waterfront Services
Jun 2016 — Present
The Waterfront/Heavy Civil team is involved in major infrastructure projects ranging from shipyard, port, and ferry facilities to underground transit stations & tunnels to transportation structures to waterfront parks. Our engineers and planners help public and private sector clients from planning through design and into construction. We like to lead complex, multidisciplinary projects but are more than happy provide structural engineering expertise as a subconsultant if that\'s all that\'s needed. Big projects that need creative solutions are what we do best.
