Jared Lewis

CSP

Growing up, Jared Lewis often lost himself in puzzles and problem solving. When it came time to choose a college major, Jared calculated that business management would prepare him for anything.

He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from St. John’s University, incorporating STEM and risk management coursework into his program.

For the next decade, Jared acquired varied and extensive experience in construction management, project engineering, operational efficiency, safety design, and risk assessment from the City’s consultants and contractors on $500M capital improvement projects.

After earning a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) endorsement, and several OSHA and other state and national safety certifications, Jared was interested in exploring the consultant side of the industry. “Water goes with the flow no matter the barrier,” Jared reflects when thinking of how he transitioned to Hazen. Soon after, Hazen presented him with the opportunity to explore his interest in water by becoming the Firm’s first Corporate Safety Director.

Jared doesn’t just take calculated risks seriously at work, he also uses his safety mindset on the road while riding his favorite motorcycles. He still enjoys solving puzzles with his two daughters in his spare time, but to unplug from his analytical brain he often delves into creative writing, getting lost in a new book, or watching independent films and shows with his wife.
