Townsend’s responsibilities will center on attending to client needs and
growing Atwell’s Oil & Gas practice throughout the region. Townsend
explains that his work ensures that project milestones are met and
deliverables are both accurate and timely.

“The job description is about managing utilization and resources, but I
see it as a matter of managing and assigning value to priorities. My ten
years in the Marine Corps started after I’d begun my career in
engineering. That time taught me the importance of leadership—how to
direct and empower teams in ways that give them a reason to want to
follow you.”

Working primarily with communication assignments, he served on multiple
deployments, including Iraq. “It was the fulfilment of a life-long
desire to serve, and the experience transcends the work I do today,”
said Townsend.

Most recently, Townsend has ascended through project management
positions with G2 Integrated Solutions providing asset management, risk
assessment, and consulting engineering services for builders and
owner/operators of oil and gas pipelines.

His responsibilities within Atwell’s growing national oil and
gas-related business practice will include coordinating and ensuring
safety in the field, and he will provide oversight of integrity
assessments, engineering, design, and operations for pipelines and
related facilities.

“Rod will be a great asset for this growing segment of our business,”
said Atwell Vice President Drew Celovsky. “We need strong, experienced
leaders to oversee the oil and gas operations at Atwell, and his
technical expertise, combined with his stellar management approach,
enhances our leadership team greatly.”
