Doug leads Schemmer’s Engineering Division, guiding teams and projects with a steady, experience-driven approach built over nearly three decades with the firm.

Since joining Schemmer in 1997, Doug has worked as both a design engineer and construction engineer on multi-million-dollar municipal projects across the region. That hands-on experience still shapes how he leads today. He stays involved in project management and quality reviews while focusing on what matters most: supporting his team and helping them grow.

Doug is known for his practical mindset and his ability to dig into the details when needed. Whether he’s mentoring engineers, technicians, and field staff or collaborating with company leadership, he brings a thoughtful, solutions-focused perspective to the work.

Outside of the office, Doug’s curiosity carries over into everyday life. He enjoys tinkering to figure out how things work, spending time hunting, fishing, and hiking, and cheering on his kids at their games throughout the year.
