Bangor-based engineering firm Haley Ward names first COO, reconfigures division

Haley Ward Inc., a Bangor-based engineering, environmental and surveying consulting firm, has named its first chief operating officer and reorganized its engineering division.

The firm said Travis Noyes was promoted to the role of COO, reporting to Denis St. Peter, the firm’s president and CEO. Noyes will supervise the five technical service line directors of the company, as well as the marketing director.

Travis Noyes will serve as Haley Ward's first-ever chief operating officer.

Noyes is the first COO of the 44-year-old company. He previously led the engineering division, where he helped support the growth of the firm through a series of acquisitions and improvements in internal processes, continued education and technology. He will remain the principal-in-charge of engineering projects and will continue to work with clients.

“Travis has led our engineering division for nearly 15 years and in addition to other significant company-wide contributions, he worked with our amazing employees to expand our service offerings in that time from civil and structural engineering to include mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineering as well as supplementing these building services to include architecture,” said St. Peter. 

“Creating a COO position in our company is an essential strategic step to support our continued growth. Travis’ COO role will help us maintain our empowering culture to attract and retain talented employees and to maintain the quality of our services to our clients."

Haley Ward also reorganized its engineering division into three technical service lines.

Scott Miller has been promoted to municipal infrastructure director and Brian Milisci is promoted to land development director. The company is currently seeking a building design director to supervise structural engineering, architectural and other disciplines.

“Two and a half years ago, I sold my company and its 123-year of history to Haley Ward and have not been disappointed. In fact, I have been impressed by their strategy to grow, provide new opportunities to our employees, and empower all of us to serve our clients,” said Miller.

Milisci is one of the former partners of Whitman & Bingham Associates in Leominster, Mass., which was acquired by Haley Ward in 2021.

“I am excited to expand my role by using my experience and expertise in site development projects to assist more of our employees and clients achieve their goals. With my previous experience at a much larger firm, I can help advise our team on ways to minimize unnecessary bureaucracies and to optimize empowering approaches as we continue to grow,” Milisci said.

Haley Ward has about 140 employees in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida.
