Theresa recently stated, “Commonwealth Engineers has provided me with opportunities for professional growth and development that I would never have dreamed of when I first started working here. This company equips you with all the tools you need to succeed and rewards hard work.  My favorite part of the job is meeting and working with cities and towns to help them with their infrastructure needs. The clients become lifelong partners and friends.”

Since her return, Theresa has led the Business Development Team to tremendous success year after year. Under her direction, our company has seen growth even amid the pandemic. Her dedication has helped countless Indiana and Kentucky clients find all the necessary resources to continue the important work of maintaining and improving their water resource infrastructure, no matter the challenge. We are grateful to have Theresa leading the charge and helping our communities ensure the health and safety of their residents and our environment.
