With over 20 years of experience as a Geotechnical Engineer, Kevin has coordinated and provided subsurface investigations, geotechnical design, pavement management, and geotechnical specifications. 

In 2015 Kevin was the catalyst and did much of the groundwork for S. W. Cole Engineering, Inc. to launch a test boring explorations company, and he served as General Manager and Driller during the company’s first years. In 2023, the subsidiary merged with Seaboard Drilling and the company became Seaboard Drilling, LLC. 

Beginning in 2020, Kevin served as a Driller specializing in all forms of rotary drilling, and he established our Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) capabilities.  

Now, as Drilling Operations Manager, Kevin is responsible for managing projects, drill schedules, and personnel for our Bangor, Maine, and Somersworth, New Hampshire offices. 

Kevin is known for his commitment to quality, efficiency, and thoroughness, even in challenging circumstances. His background in geotechnical engineering and his years of experience as a Driller have provided him with valuable expertise, which he uses to train other team members and elevate the skills and experience of our teams. 

We are grateful to Kevin for his years of dedication and his willingness to step into this role, allowing us all to continue benefiting from his leadership.
