Coffman Engineers Inc. said Sept. 26 that it is pleased to announce Spencer Osgood’s achievement on earning his Alaska Professional Engineering license in civil engineering.

Osgood graduated from Colorado State University in Fort Collins with a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering. He joined Coffman in 2016 as an intern supporting the corrosion control engineering department performing cathodic protection surveys. After graduating, he transitioned to a full-time position in the civil engineering department.

Osgood’s experience includes commercial, industrial and military projects throughout Alaska and the Pacific Islands. He has knowledge in hydrological engineering including water, stormwater and wastewater utility systems, as well as site design, project coordination and design, permitting, trenchless utility design and fuel storage containment systems. He is also certified as a NACE cathodic protection technician and continues to support corrosion control projects.

Osgood credits his growth as an engineer on the mentorship he received from colleagues and the experience he gained on a wide scope of projects - from oil and gas industry projects to replacing sanitary systems with air vacuum systems in the Pacific Islands region. He has also learned from his clients. He leverages the good relationships he’s built with them to understand their needs and challenges to find practical applications for each project. “We congratulate Spencer on obtaining his PE and look forward to a very bright future,” said Coffman principal civil engineer, Mike Frison, PE.
