Oil Patch Bits: PND names new president, senior VP, shareholder

The board of directors of PND Engineers Inc. has elected Jim Campbell, P.E., to the position of president, and Dempsey Thieman, P.E., S.E., to senior vice president. Campbell and Thieman succeed John Pickering, P.E., and Mike Hartley, P.E., respectively.

Campbell, who joined PND in 1995, brings pride and enthusiasm to his new role. “PND is a premier civil and structural engineering company with a focus on serving our clients and engineering innovation” he said. “Our company’s gradual but steady growth over the past 37-plus years is a result of clients’ trust and return business. Our staff is top-notch, and our customers deserve no less. I see great things in PND’s future.”

Thieman looks forward to helping perpetuate the culture of leadership that has shaped PND into the successful company it is today. “We have grown since I came aboard more than 20 years ago, and with growth has come opportunity and challenge,” Thieman said. “Nonetheless, our values have remained constant. Our staff is committed to client service and satisfaction, and working with integrity as a team to provide innovative and cost effective design solutions. Our motivation, and inspiration, come from our customers.”

PND’s board has also selected Torsten Mayrberger, P.E., PhD, to be a principal in the firm. Mayrberger has 15 years of professional engineering experience, and joined PND’s Anchorage office in 2009. He specializes in geotechnical investigations and deep foundation design in permafrost soils, as well as geotechnical investigations in marine and non-permafrost soils. He was also instrumental in establishing PND’s AASHTO-accredited state-of-the-practice geotechnical lab testing facility in Anchorage.
