BROOKFIELD, Wis. — raSmith, a multi-disciplined civil and structural engineering and surveying firm, has announced the promotion of Paul McIlheran to assistant director of site design services. Previously a senior project manager, McIlheran brings nearly three decades of site planning and design expertise to his new role.

I am looking forward to working closely with Paul as we continue to grow raSmith’s local and national presence and forge solid working relationships with developers, architects, general contractors, and owners in all market sectors. Paul’s strategic mindset will be an asset to the site design services division.”
