Cattran was hired by Woolpert as a phase manager in the firm’s Dayton headquarters in 1999.
The announcement comes after what Woolpert said has been a “stellar” year. The company recorded sales topping $125.8 million and profits of more than $8.6 million.
“The strategic plan that we set into motion at the end of 2014 helped us focus and work collaboratively as a firm in 2015,” Cattran said in the company’s announcement. “We had five-year highs in profitability, utilization, sales and net revenues. I am also confident that we can sustain this level of performance into the future.”
Cattran succeeds Mike Flannery, who served seven years as CEO, a company spokeswoman said.
Cattran earned bachelor’s degrees in English and geography from Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, and a master’s degree in geographic information systems from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Recently, he earned a scholarship to the Global Executive 2016-17 Master of Business Administration program at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.
Beavercreek-based Woolpert has 213 employees at its County Line Road headquarters and 609 total at 24 offices across the country.
