Greenhorne & OMara CEO Will Be Stantec Manager when Purchase Is Done
Skinner
Joseph Skinner, president and CEO of engineering firm Greenhorne & O'Mara, Laurel, Md., will join Edmonton, Alberta-based consulting giant Stantec as a practice managing leader as of Dec. 31, the firms tell ENR. The new role follows Stantec's planned acquisition of G&O, announced on Nov. 30 and set to be completed by year's end. G&O, with 520 employees and 2011 revenue of $72.6 million, ranks at No. 145 on ENR's list of the Top 500 Design Firms.
When the acquisition is complete, Skinner, a former regional vice president who became CEO in January, will be based in Raleigh, N.C. Stantec will also gain 171 additional employees from two other design-firm purchases to be completed by Dec. 31. To be acquired are Moncton, New Brunswick-based Architecture 2000 and C3TS, a Coral Gables, Fla., transportation engineer with 150 employees.
