Harris & Associates is pleased to announce that Eric Smith, PE, has joined the firm as Director of Transportation Engineering. Eric brings over 25 years of civil engineering experience, specializing in complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure programs across the Northeast—and now brings that expertise to California communities.
A Proven Leader in Multimodal Infrastructure
Prior to joining Harris, Eric held senior leadership roles at a top global design firm, where he led a 200-person transportation group and managed programs totaling over $100 million annually. His technical expertise spans roadway and stormwater design, sustainable site development, waterfront infrastructure, and climate-resilient open spaces.
Eric’s portfolio includes high-profile, community-centered projects such as the Columbia University Manhattanville Campus Expansion, the Coney Island Infrastructure Redevelopment, Metropolitan Hospital Resiliency Program, and the 107th Street Pier and Bobby Wagner Greenway Reconstruction—each reflecting his ability to deliver infrastructure that balances performance, resilience, and community benefit.
Strengthening California Communities Through Integrated Solutions
At Harris, Eric will lead transportation-focused civil design efforts while collaborating with teams in municipal engineering, construction management, and program management. His role supports Harris’ mission to build equitable, resilient, and sustainable communities—delivering cost-effective solutions that improve access, safety, and climate adaptability across California’s public infrastructure.
“Eric’s depth of technical knowledge, team leadership, and commitment to resilient infrastructure make him a natural fit for Harris,” said Vice President of Engineering, Marcus Fuller. “We’re excited to welcome him to the West Coast and to our growing Transportation team.”
