Lindsi Hammond joined GRI in August 2015 and co-founded the GRI Pavement Division, spending the next six years tripling it in size to become one of the largest pavement divisions in the Pacific Northwest.

While she works on many large, complex projects, including one of the first seismically resilient airport runways for the Port of Portland, Hammond said she appreciates the opportunity to help small communities that do not have the staff to manage their pavement.

鈥淚t鈥檚 fun to see a road being built, but it鈥檚 really rewarding to help people more cost effectively manage their pavement and see agencies allocating funds to roadways in the most efficient ways possible,鈥� she said.

Hammond鈥檚 technical expertise and influence within the industry were major factors to her being the first female engineer promoted in 2018 to the GRI management team, and then to a principal and a member of the GRI Board of Directors in 2019.

Through Hammond鈥檚 leadership and involvement in the Civil Engineering Cooperative Program (CECOP), GRI strives to hire one CECOP intern every year. She also is a mentor for STEM Like a Girl and brings her personal experience to her volunteer work.

Christina Villeneuve, RG, GRI鈥檚 director of business development and marketing, noted that Hammond does not limit her mentorship abilities just to pavement professionals. 鈥淪he expands her efforts as an influential industry leader to expand the A/E/C community.鈥�
