James White

Danvers, MA According to Hancock Associates, a leading provider of land surveying, civil engineering and wetland science services, James White, PE has retired from H.W. Moore, the firm’s Boston division. White joined H.W. Moore in 1978. He worked primarily on private sector projects and developed relationships with many of the real estate developers and architects in the Boston area. His attention to detail, ability to solve complex engineering problems and his professionalism made him the go-to civil engineer for his clients. Over the years, he also worked on numerous public sector roadway and municipal building projects and became a trusted peer review consultant for several area Planning Departments.

“It is difficult to find a municipality in Eastern Massachusetts where Jim did not leave his imprint,” said H.W. Moore senior project manager, Fred Keylor. “He will be greatly missed by his loyal clientele and even more so by his H.W. Moore and Hancock Associates family.”

“Jim was the face of H.W. Moore, an industry leader and instrumental in perpetuating H.W. Moore’s superior reputation in the Boston area,” said Hancock Associates President, Wayne Jalbert, PLS. “His tireless dedication, perseverance and commitment to the field of Civil Engineering will be missed. We wish him a long, healthy and happy retirement.”
