Success Story
Karl Yakawich, PE – Transportation Business Unit Manager
Great West Engineering Transportation Business Unit Manager Karl Yakawich has strong vocational roots. Born and raised in Helena, Montana Karl worked for his father’s construction business in his teen years where he developed a passion for improving infrastructure and bettering public safety. During his senior year at Montana State University, Karl was selected for an internship at Great West Engineering.
As he gained real-world knowledge under the mentorship of now President Emeritus Daniel McCauley, it became clear that Karl had a bright future in the engineering world. He was hired as a full-time employee at Great West where he was mentored, attended training, and gained his PE license. Karl’s passion for improving infrastructure and bettering public safety came into focus as he developed a specialty in road and bridge projects working throughout the western US. After close to a two-decade career with the Firm, Karl is an owner and principal in the firm who heads up the Transportation Business Unit leading the charge of his passion and sharing his knowledge with interns and young engineers.
