Project Engineer Craig Staggs joins McCarty Associates, LLC

McCarty Associates, LLC is pleased to announce that Craig Staggs joined the firm in November 2023 as a Project Engineer.

Staggs graduated from West Union High School in 2008. He attended Ohio State University and graduated in 2013 with a bachelor’s in civil engineering and a minor in surveying.  

As a resident of Adams County, Staggs began his career at the Ohio Department of Transportation, District 9, following graduation, where he completed the Engineer-In-Training program. He was an Engineer II in the Construction Department until 2016.  

Staggs wanted to gain further experience in the construction engineering field, so he joined Lithko Contracting, LLC as a Lead Layout Field Engineer. He was responsible for all aspects of layout on projects throughout the tri-state, including FC Cincinnati Stadium.  

In 2021, Staggs joined Parsons Corporation so that he could gain highway design experience. He worked in the highway division, where he worked on a wide variety of projects such as small structure rehabilitation, pavement rehabilitation, curb ramp improvements, intersection improvements and design-builds (Akron Beltway).  

Staggs joined McCarty Associates in 2023, where he serves dual roles as a Design Engineer and a Survey Technician. 

He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio and is ready to utilize his skills to help serve the local community. He plans to work toward his Professional Surveying License.
