Holt joins Bartlett & West to focus on Florida market
Michael A. Holt, P.E., joined Bartlett & West as a market manager, bringing two decades of design experience in the transportation sector, with extensive experience in stormwater management best practices for new and retrofit projects.
Holt is based in Florida and leads Bartlett & West’s focus on work in the Florida market, leveraging his experience in business development and client relationship management.
Joe Caldwell, Bartlett & West chief executive officer, said the company’s strategic plan includes expanding into markets that are growing and would benefit from our services. “Michael’s expertise in stormwater and drainage brings value not only in the state of Florida, but across our footprint,” Caldwell said. “As Bartlett & West focuses on the areas where our resumes are deepest, in transportation and water/wastewater, we can add value in the high-growth areas of central Florida.”
In addition to Holt’s position, Bartlett & West is hiring for positions to serve the Florida market in bridge and roadway design, traffic analysis, water/wastewater engineering and project management.
Holt has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of South Florida in Tampa. He has project experience in drainage design for small and large projects in both the design-bid-build and design-build models, including such recent projects as the I-75 auxiliary lanes “Moving Florida Forward” design-build and the SunRail Phase II North design-build for the Florida Department of Transportation District 5. His work includes plans production, stormwater design and analysis, design documentation, utility coordination, and quality control of construction plans and design documentation.
He has worked extensively with permitting agencies to obtain appropriate permits and exemptions including environmental, stormwater, and utility deflections for construction of large and small projects across Florida. His clients have included Florida Department of Transportation as well as numerous counties, cities and transportation agencies across the state of Florida.
Holt is excited to be a part of the next chapter of the Bartlett & West plan for growth. “I look forward to advancing Bartlett & West’s commitment to lead our communities to a better tomorrow,” he said. “With the company aiming to serve the Florida market, I look forward to continuing to serve some of my favorite clients in this new role with support and backing from an amazing team.”
