Environmental and construction services firm Brown and Caldwell announced that it has added longtime drinking water professional Christopher Corwin as the company’s national drinking water leader.
Corwin has held various leadership roles throughout his 20-year career related to drinking water process planning, distribution system water quality, treatment optimization and modeling, and bench- and pilot-scale testing. With a focus on solutions to lower energy use, resource use, and waste production, he has led several projects in lead reduction, emerging contaminant treatment, and integrated water master planning.
The firm says that Corwin’s hiring will bolster Brown and Caldwell’s 75-year legacy of solving complex water issues at a time when communities face unprecedented challenges with access to clean drinking water.
Based in Denver, Corwin will grow the firm’s drinking water practice, aligning its technical and R&D experts with clients to deliver groundbreaking solutions to safeguard water supplies and enhance system reliability.
Corwin was previously a faculty member of the University of Colorado Boulder, teaching undergraduate and graduate-level courses in all areas of environmental engineering. He will utilize his mentorship skills to develop Brown and Caldwell’s young professionals while supervising a team of national drinking water specialty leaders.
“I am delighted to welcome a passionate visionary in Chris to our growing drinking water practice,” says Meghan Krishnayya, Brown and Caldwell’s director of technical practices. “His highly technical experience paired with a focus on sustainability will greatly benefit our clients in making investments go further while protecting precious water resources.”
A licensed professional engineer, Dr. Corwin holds a bachelor’s in civil engineering from the University of Kentucky, and a master’s and doctorate in the same field from the University of Colorado Boulder.
