Overview
Principal and Project Manager, Erin Kueht, was chosen as a 2022 ENR Texas & Lousiana Top Young Professional
Included within ENR Texas & Louisiana’s 2022 class of Top Young Professionals are architects, engineers, project managers, and entrepreneurs based in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, or Texas.
Among the key selection criteria are an individual’s professional achievements, such as acquiring or progressing toward industry certifications, success in creating more efficient systems, designing new processes or managing landmark projects, seeking innovative approaches to their work, both within and away from the office, as well as a steadfast dedication to giving back through volunteer work across the industry and within their own communities.
Kueht has spent her entire engineering career at Walter P Moore managing complex structural projects in a variety of markets, including sports, education and cultural facilities. She has served as project manager on high-profile projects including Churchill Downs, Houston Botanic Garden, the Stephen F. Austin Basketball Practice Facility and multiple renovations at Minute Maid Park, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston.
Kueht is co-leader of the contractor’s project management committee, which provides ongoing project management training and development. She has co-chaired the sustainable design community of practice for the past seven years and is an annual presenter at FastStart—a seminar for new structural engineering hires.
A founding member of the Houston Architecture Construction and Engineering (ACE) mentor after-school program for high school students, she is focused on engaging students about the architecture, construction and engineering industry. Most recently, Kueht piloted the firm’s Passion Behind Design webinar series with ACE, enabling students to hear from professionals within the industry during the pandemic.
Kueht returns to her alma mater Texas A&M each semester to teach the introduction to structural engineering class. After one of these classes, a student introduced himself and said he chose civil engineering based on one of Kueht’s high school ACE mentor presentations.
