Jerry Carl Wolverton Jr., P.E., F.ASCE, a civil engineer for 33 years and founder and chief executive officer of Wolverton and Associates, has been named a Fellow by the ASCE Board of Direction.

Wolverton is responsible for the strategic vision and overall operation of the firm. As its leader, he regularly communicates the corporate viewpoint to key clients and other external constituencies. He conveys mission, culture, and vision to staff and serves as mentor for principals and officers of the company. His commitment is to ensure that each of his clients receive the necessary resources available to yield a successful project through qualitative and quantitative measures. These measures include staffing needs, technology practices, public and staff safety, and quality assurance.

Further in the past decade, Wolverton employees have won three Young Engineer of the Year Awards from GSPE, more than any other firm. Wolverton’s mentorship and focus on growing young engineers into business leaders and trusted advisors is the key to the firm’s continued presence in this award category.
