Employee Spotlight – Mary Barfield

Have you met Mary Barfield? She’s quite the traveler! She responded to a job listing on Craigslist when the Great Falls office was searching for a new structural engineer to round out their team. She has had the opportunity to work remotely for a brief period and is now in the Media, Pennsylvania office. She came back this fall from an Eastern Mediterranean cruise with her family and when asked about it she told us “It was AWESOME!”

Her previous work history has been anything but dull. Before her time at TD&H, Mary was deployed to Afghanistan as an Air Force civil engineer in 2006. While there, she worked with military and local engineers and contractors to design and construct facilities and infrastructure on the Air Force Base.
