Petroleum News

PND Engineers Inc. said May 24 that it has new leadership in its Juneau, Alaska, office. Sean Sjostedt, PE, has been promoted to PND vice president and will assume office coordinator responsibilities for the firm's Southeast Alaska operations. PND Vice President Dick Somerville, PE, who has worked at PND for over 36 years and has managed the Juneau location since 1996, will continue to work at PND and support Sjostedt in his new role as Somerville transitions into retirement. Sjostedt, who grew up in Cordova, Alaska, is approaching his 13-year work anniversary at PND, all from the Juneau office. Sjostedt specializes in civil and geotechnical engineering. "Sean gets leaned on a lot. He is a tremendous asset to PND in many ways, besides being an excellent civil and geotechnical engineer," Somerville said. "He is an exceptional human being and routinely offers help in many personal ways both in and out of the office."
