Congratulations to Liz Lackey, who has been named one of the Top Young Professionals in the Mid-Atlantic Region by Engineering News-Record magazine (ENR)! She is one of just 20 professionals selected in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

At only 32 years of age, Liz has already built an impressive resume of experience in both the public and private sectors. Prior to joining HRG, she worked as an environmental engineer at IBM Microelectronics and as a water treatment process specialist for the City of Thornton in Colorado. She is a talented engineer with a passion for data analytics, an innovative thinker who continually improves processes, and a trusted mentor to her fellow team members. She’s also actively involved in the industry (as a member of the young professionals and communications committees at the Western Pennsylvania Water Pollution Control Association) and an avid supporter of her community (contributing time and money to numerous conservation groups).

We are lucky to have her on our team and so happy to see her being recognized alongside such talented, accomplished professionals on this list.
