As senior vice president, Selman will lead WSB’s transportation and construction engineering and inspection divisions in Texas
Melissa, Texas – Engineering and consulting firm WSB announced today that Kelly Selman has been promoted to senior vice president of Texas. Selman, who previously led WSB’s transportation efforts throughout Texas, will now oversee and manage both the transportation and construction engineering and inspection (CE&I) divisions.
As senior vice president of Texas, Selman will oversee the firm’s growing portfolio of public and private transportation and construction clients. His role aims to strengthen and expand the firm’s transportation and CE&I services and solutions throughout the state. For years, WSB has been delivering engineering services in Texas, but the elevated role for Selman will help to support the fast growth within the region, strengthen existing and new client relationships, and build on the firm’s local expertise.
“In 2023, we gained an industry infrastructure leader in Kelly Selman,” said Jon Chiglo, chief operating officer at WSB. “The experience, leadership and drive that Kelly brings to WSB has quickly enhanced our offerings in Texas. I am confident that Kelly will elevate our CE&I services in Texas and lead our strong teams.
Selman took on the role of vice president of transportation at WSB in 2023, concentrating his efforts on addressing the state’s infrastructure needs. Prior to joining WSB, Selman spent nearly six years at EST as Texas regional manager and 32 years at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in a variety of roles including area engineer, director of operations, director of TP&D, and district engineer of Dallas.
“WSB is advancing our industry and changing the way we deliver for our clients,” said Selman “This is the perfect opportunity to take our expertise in 3D design in Texas. I’m thrilled to be leading these two key areas for WSB and I’m excited to support more clients across the state.”
As division lead for the firm’s transportation and CE&I teams in Texas, Selman will oversee WSB’s bridges and structures, roadway design, traffic engineering, transportation planning, right of way, transit planning and intelligent transportation systems, construction management, survey, materials testing services and more.
Selman is replacing Brad Martin, vice president of construction at WSB. Martin retired on September 27. “On behalf of WSB, I would like to thank Brad Martin for his commitment, leadership and contributions to our firm,” said Bret Weiss, president and CEO at WSB. “From the moment he joined WSB, he was a dedicated leader to our staff and a committed consultant to all our clients. On behalf of all our staff and leadership, we wish Brad nothing but the best in retirement.”
