“We are excited to be adding John to the Plummer team as his technical expertise and national experience increase our bench strength in the areas of planning, design and construction of water resource, flood mitigation and resiliency, water/wastewater treatment, conveyance and stormwater pumping facilities,” said Chris Young, PE, CEO of Plummer Associates.

The opening of the Tampa office supports Plummer Associates’ strategy to remain privately owned and grow its geographic reach nationally. In 2019, Plummer Associates expanded into the Rocky Mountain region by merging with FEI Engineers, based in Colorado.

“I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to lead Plummer’s operation in Florida and work alongside some of the most talented professionals in the water and environmental industry,” said Keane.

John’s passion for helping communities secure clean water has taken him across North America. Keane earned his Bachelor of Science in civil and coastal engineering from the University of Florida. He is a Professional Engineer in Texas, Florida, and New Mexico and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).

“Major issues utilities face in Florida include increasing population growth, more stringent limits on discharges from wastewater utilities, environmental restoration, replacing aging infrastructure, and becoming more resilient to environmental factors. We’re now positioned to provide engineered solutions for water providers to maximize water efficiencies,” added Keane.

Plummer Associates employs approximately 170 employees and the company’s 2020 revenues were $34 million. It currently has ten offices in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Florida.
