Robert Card, who served as undersecretary of energy from 2001 to 2004 and later became president and CEO of the Canadian engineering firm SNC-Lavalin, has joined the Strategic Advisory Board for Energy Department contractor Longenecker & Associates.
“Bob is one of the most brilliant strategic minds in our industry and I am honored that he has agreed to join our board. His experience both in industry and the Department of Energy will be invaluable as we grow,” L&A President John Longenecker said in an Oct. 21 news release.
Card, who currently works as an industry consultant, stepped down as SNC-Lavalin president and CEO in 2015 after more than three years in the top spot.
He previously served as president and CEO of Kaiser-Hill Co. LLC, where he assumed responsibility for the DOE Rocky Flats cleanup project in Colorado during the mid-1990s.
Card spent most of his professional career with CH2M HILL, joining the company in the 1970s and advancing into the ranks of management before overseeing Rocky Flats. He would return to CH2M Hill in 2004 to serve as president of energy, water, and facilities until 2012.
Las Vegas-based Longenecker & Associates offers technical and management consulting for nuclear and environmental industries.
