James Meisenbach

James Meisenbach is passionate about helping people in his job and in his personal time. As GIS Group Manager, he uses his technical skills to help clients leverage data for smart decision-making, but his greatest skills are interpersonal: listening and understanding what people need, building trust, and fostering a safe environment for honest communication. His core values are integrity, compassion, and humility. As a leader, he embraces collaboration over hierarchy and clearly communicates goals to keep a project schedule and budget on track.

His professional experience spans most types of infrastructure assets: transportation, water and wastewater systems, fiber optic communications infrastructure, municipal public works, upstream and midstream oil and gas, and MS4 compliance. During the pandemic, he demonstrated his commitment to community by training to become a volunteer firefighter and emergency responder, building physical and mental skills to handle a wide variety of crises. The work has helped him deepen his existing empathy and compassion.
