Former executive director of of Alamo RMA hired by Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc.

Pape-Dawson appoints Griebel to lead business growth in Austin

Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. hired Tom Griebel, the former head of the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority, to lead the firm's business development initiatives in Austin.

Griebel will work at the Pape-Dawson Huffcut Engineers office in Austin, a company San Antonio-based Pape-Dawson formed by merging with Huffcut & Associates last February. He is the company's new vice president of corporate development.

"We expanded into Austin to better serve the projected needs for engineering services along the (Interstate 35) corridor and also provide new growth opportunities for our outstanding employees," Pape-Dawson CEO Sam Dawson says. "We are thrilled to have Tom join our team during this exciting period in our company's history, and we believe he will play a key role in our future in Austin."

Prior to working as the executive director of the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority -- the organization spearheading the effort to bring toll-roads to San Antonio -- Griebel served as the executive director of the nonprofit San Antonio Mobility Coalition (SAMCo). SAMCo lobbies for increased federal, state and local funding for San Antonio's growing transportation needs.

He also has held various leadership positions within the Texas Department of Transportation.

Pape-Dawson is San Antonio's largest engineering firm ranked by the number of licensed local engineers, according to Business Journal research.
