COLUMBIA, S.C. (Aug. 3, 2016) – Neel-Schaffer, Inc., is pleased to announce that Matt Lifsey, PE, has joined the firm as the Engineer Manager for the firm’s office in Columbia, South Carolina.
Lifsey, who has 26 years of experience, will serve in a management and business development role for Neel-Schaffer, marketing the firm throughout the Carolinas. He served as the President of OLH, Inc., from 2014-2016, and prior to that he worked for the South Carolina Department of Transportation for 24 years.
From 2007-2014, Lifsey served as Lowcountry Regional Production Engineer for the SCDOT.
