Meridian’s Survey Division Manager, Michael Nadeau has worked for the firm for over 18 years, serving as a Project Manager and Survey Coordinator with some of Utah’s largest entities including UDOT, DFCM, Salt Lake City, PacifiCorp and the LDS Church. Michael brings confidence to his clients with his professional style of management, design support, surveying, mapping, right of way design, and construction oversight.
All who know him would agree his accolades are well deserved. Michael’s dedication to the profession spans multiple facets and has impacted many other Surveyors in the community with his leadership and contributions, including: Adjunct Instructor at Salt Lake Community College and Utah Valley University, Chairman of the Surveying Program Advisory Committee at SLCC, Chairman of the Western Federation of Professional Surveyors (WFPS), WFPS Director for the Utah Council of Land Surveyors (UCLS), Past Chairman of the UCLS and Active Member of the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), and the International Right-Of-Way Association (IRWA).
Employees and field crews at Meridian will vouch that Michael is an enthusiastic manager to work with because of his zeal and go-getter attitude. “He always inspires us to do our best work every day”. As a life-long learner, Michael is an advocate for other employee’s individual strengths and encourages each of us with continuing education and professional development by building talent and skills, attending conferences, attaining licenses, or joining affiliations.
Michael’s wife, Sheri has been supportive of his committed work ethic and required life balancing. In her words, “Mike is a hard worker, loves his profession and is dedicated to success.” Darryl Fenn, President of Meridian Engineering adds, “Mike has truly grown and matured to become one of the best surveyors this generation has known. Mike has applied himself to learn his profession in all aspects of surveying for the benefit of our clients. He is self-driven and forward thinking. He models what a surveyor should be to his students, co-workers and peers. We, at Meridian are proud of Mike and his accomplishments.”
Meridian is thankful to have such a key member of the intermountain based Survey community as an employee for the last 2 decades. We will be having a celebration luncheon in his honor at our corporate office on March 3, 2021.
