“Because he’s an Arizona native and has watched the state grow and develop, Kyle has a unique perspective and understanding of the state’s needs and complexities," Director of Water Services Jeff Sober said. “With Garver, he’ll bring the full collection of resources, expertise, and water and wastewater experience that creates customized solutions for all of our clients.”
A civil engineer by trade, Cole started his career as a Transportation Engineer in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a Field Construction Engineer for a decade and then transitioned into the roles of Design Engineer and Design Manager for water and wastewater systems.
But Cole, who has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a masters degree in hydro systems engineering, felt passionate about returning to his home state to help address its water challenges. He knew he could bring his specific skill set — along with expertise in sustainability initiatives and water resource management — to the task.
“This is home for me. It’s where I grew up, and it’s where I'm going to stay. I have a vested interest in Arizona's success,” Cole said. “And as a broader scope kind of person, I’m well suited to this job. I’m able to look at the big picture for an area or region and plan and future proof systems for clients.”
