Practice
Teams Enhance Services
As
part of Gannett Fleming's program to continuously improve its services, we are
now utilizing “Practice Teams," each led by a “National Practice
Manager."
Core business teams include environmental resources, transportation, facilities
and information technology.
All
of the teams consist of full-time staff focused on improving approaches throughout the geographical areas of each practice.
These teams ensure that all projects meet our high corporate quality
standards.
