Provan & Lorber, Inc., engineers and planners, is pleased to announce that Ryan W. MacDonald, Assistant Survey Manager, has recently received accreditation as a New Hampshire Licensed Land Surveyor.

Mr. MacDonald, a resident of Ashland, received his surveying and mapping education from the Denver Institute of Technology (now Westwood College) and has ten years of surveying experience. He formerly served as Chief of Survey and has been promoted to Assistant Survey Manager since rejoining the staff in 2005. 

Licensure signifies that the surveyor has met national standards and has demonstrated a high level of competency in the profession. The firm now has two licensed land surveyors on staff, to better serve all of New Hampshire.

Provan & Lorber, Inc. provides civil, environmental and structural engineering and land surveying services throughout northern New England for municipal, recreation/resort, healthcare, commercial and industrial clients. Founded in 1984, the firm has 20 employees, with offices in Contoocook and Littleton, New Hampshire.

Provan & Lorber, Inc., engineers and planners, welcomes back James Murn to our Littleton office.

Murn, a Dalton resident, received his BS degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Wisconsin.  A NH Certified Wetlands Scientist and Licensed Septic Designer, he has previously served as a wetlands inspector for the State of New Hampshire.  He left Provan & Lorber, Inc. in 2001 to join Presby Construction and Presby Environmental, providing home design and septic system design and review.  

Murn said his decision to re-join the staff in Littleton was based on new opportunities he couldn't pass up. "Provan and Lorber has offered me new and diverse opportunities.  I will be able to apply my current skills and also have a chance to learn and grow into new areas of increasing responsibility."  

And the company is pleased to have back a colleague whose site design experience includes local projects such as Littleton Regional Hospital, Staples, and VIP Auto. 

"Jim brings expertise and integrity to this position," says Tim Grant, P.E., Regional Manager. "He is a great asset to the company and to our clients."

Tim Grant, P.E., Regional Manager for Provan & Lorber, Inc. in Littleton, said "this newly refurbished building has a better office layout for our staff.  It also has more parking and puts us closer to I-93 for the convenience of our many clients and vendors.  Provan & Lorber has had an office in Littleton since 1988 and we love the community.  We plan to be in Littleton for a long time, to continue serving our North Country clients."

Grant noted that the office telephone number, 444-6301, and fax number will remain unchanged.
