I started my construction career back in 2003 when I enrolled in a Civil Engineering program at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The engineering program included three paid internships, two of which were in the Heavy Civil Construction field. The first was with Kiewit building the 145th St Swing-Truss Bridge in NYC & Albany, NY. The second was with Wharton-Smith building Water and Wastewater Treatment plants in SE Florida. In 2008 I graduated from RIT with a BS in Civil Engineering and a passing grade on the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE).Out of college I accepted a position working with an engineering firm inspecting the I-294/Tollway expansion in Chicago, IL. After a few winters, I decided to head back to Florida and work for Wharton-Smith were I spent four years working as a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager and Estimator building Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants throughout Southern Florida. While working for Wharton-Smith, I really expanded my knowledge of the Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant construction field. The opportunity with Florida Design was a chance for me to expand my skills from a single project to a company running multiple projects. My first couple of years were spent estimating projects helping double the company’s backlog, then as Vice President continuing to increase our business development and aiding the Team in logistics and business decisions. With my past experience in the WTP and WWTP industry I decided to open my own company. Lawrence Lee Construction Services, Inc was formed in the fall of 2017 and is headquarters in Martin County.
