BREA, California (Aug. 22, 2017) — As California continues to make major infrastructure upgrades across the state, Burns & McDonnell is expanding its construction/design-build team with the hiring of Kyle Beebe. With nearly 20 years of project management and prime contract experience, Beebe will lead the team of construction/design-build employee-owners based in Southern California. 

“The need for comprehensive design-build solutions rises as the need for improvements to the roadways, airports, power grid and major facilities in California continues,” says Renita Mollman, Burns & McDonnell vice president and general manager of Southern California offices. “We’re focusing on growing our team of professionals and with Kyle’s leadership and extensive background in design-build/EPC project delivery, we are prepared to tackle our client’s toughest challenges from conceptual design through post-construction phases.”

Beebe has worked on more than 20 projects across the United States, specializing in solar, emergency generation, thermal and cogeneration power systems and underground utilities and treatment facilities. Notable projects include the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a combined heating, cooling and power plant for Montclair University and a gas-to-energy project for Olinda Landfill.
