Theodore von Rosenvinge IV, PE, DGE
Senior Principal
As a founding Principal, Ted leads and promotes a culture of quality that is based on teamwork, client service, critical thinking, technical excellence, pragmatism and professionalism. Prior to earning his advanced degrees, Ted began his career as a union construction worker in Boston. Since then he has served in roles from Field Engineer to Principal-in-Charge of hundreds of projects involving foundation engineering for high-rise buildings, major bridges, rail facilities, marine projects, earthwork/underground construction and soil mechanics. His expertise also includes serving as a forensic/expert witness, providing field and lab testing, and implementing geotechnical instrumentation.
An American Society of Civil Engineers Fellow since 1998, Ted brings enthusiasm and passion to all aspects of the field. Whether brainstorming with clients, mentoring younger members of the firm, serving as a guest lecturer on a hot button topic, or receiving accolades for an award-winning project, Ted is inspired and motivated by the work and long-term relationships he has developed as the firm’s lead underground intelligence officer.
Above ground: When the opportunity arises, Ted can be found sailing. He has crewed on and completed 10 Newport to Bermuda sail races (635 miles). A guitarist, guitar collector and songwriter, he also enjoys playing rock’n’roll nearly as much as engineering rock’n’soil.
