Coffman Engineers Announces Federal Programs Leadership Transition
Alaska-Based Principal Brent Little, PE, Leads Company’s Federal Strategy
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, October 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Coffman Engineers, Inc. (Coffman) has named Brent Little, PE, as its new Federal Programs lead. Little began transitioning into this role in early 2023 as Dave Gardner, SE, Coffman’s former Federal Programs lead, began preparing for his eventual retirement. Little and Gardner worked closely together in 2023 to facilitate a seamless transition.
Coffman’s federal program leverages engineering knowledge and best practices through office champions companywide. This approach has proven successful as Coffman’s federal revenue has grown from $13 million in 2017 to $27 million in 2022. Under Gardner’s guidance, the federal group refined contract negotiation and diversified project pursuits across federal agencies.
“Dave has done an impressive job unifying our federal efforts across the company, and Coffman’s market growth clearly reflects his efforts. Brent’s experience in federal/DoD and his leadership abilities are what we need to build on the team’s accomplishments and develop more resources across an even wider geography to better serve the federal market,” said Dave Ruff, PE, CEO.
As the Federal Programs lead, Little supports the market sector strategy and companywide federal champions as they lead projects and new pursuits. He is a mechanical engineering principal in Coffman’s Anchorage office. His career has focused on federal sector work for various agencies in the U.S. and abroad. Little started his career with the Omaha District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and credits much of his success to that early mentorship and training.
