DETROIT, MI Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber announces the addition of Regine Beauboeuf as Director of Client Services and Office Lead for the firm's newest location in the city of Detroit, Michigan.

"We are excited to welcome Regine, especially as we continue to grow in Southeast Michigan," said Kamran Qadeer, FTCH Senior Vice President and Principal. "She brings significant transportation infrastructure experience to our operations, tightening our focus on the region's increasingly complex needs as it grows  and changes."

Beauboeuf, a civil engineer with 33 years of large transportation project experience in the U.S. and Canada, joins FTCH after spending 13 years at global engineering and construction firm Parsons as vice president and as board member of Parsons Transportation Group Inc. of Michigan. During her tenure, she served as project manager for the development of the Detroit River International Crossing.

"I'm thrilled to be part of FTCH's expansion to Detroit to continue the firm's tradition of striking a safe and healthy balance between the environment and the region's rapidly modernizing and multifaceted infrastructure," said Beauboeuf.

The FTCH Detroit location at 1001 Woodward Ave., one of nine offices in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, is slated to officially open later this summer. Four additional engineers and scientists across various disciplines, along with support staff, are expected to be hired. The new office will plan, execute and oversee design, engineering, construction and environmental sustainability projects for city of Detroit-based clientele.

Current projects led by the Detroit office include a study for rainwater harvesting and reuse at a major football stadium and replacement of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard over The Lodge (M-10), along with associated improvements such as extending the ramp north of The Lodge to Grand River Avenue (M-5). The Lodge project, including traffic signal replacement, signage upgrades and total rehabilitation of Grand River Avenue from Cass Avenue to I-94, will significantly improve traffic flow in anticipation of increased vehicle traffic volume near the new stadium district. Just north of Detroit, FTCH recently employed nontraditional measures to rehabilitate the deteriorating Caddell Drain in the cities of Farmington and Farmington Hills to protect drinking water, property and infrastructure.

Beauboeuf's extensive background includes 16 years as supervising engineer of the project development section for the Michigan Department of Transportation, managing a $3 billion budget with responsibility for all capacity improvements and new road projects for the State of Michigan. In this role, she oversaw development, budgeting and scheduling of roadside programs, including major transportation projects, rest areas and visitor welcome centers, landscapes, wetland mitigation sites, and noise abatement initiatives.

Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed Beauboeuf, a registered Professional Engineer (PE), in 2004 to the Michigan Board of Professional Surveyors and the Michigan Board of Professional Engineers, serving as board chair. Beauboeuf currently serves on transportation and business management committees for the American Council of Engineering Companies and as secretary of the Michigan chapter of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials.

Beauboeuf holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and architecture from the University of Haiti, and an MBA from Davenport University. She speaks French and Kreyol.
