James M. “Jim” Croy, Sr., PE, founder of Georgia-based, full-service consulting firm Croy, was honored as the recipient of the Engineering Impact Award during the annual Georgia Engineering Awards, hosted by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Georgia (ACEC Georgia) and the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE). According to ACEC Georgia, the Engineering Impact Award is given to an individual in the private sector whose outstanding leadership and achievements have benefitted the entire state of Georgia.
“It’s no question that Jim has had an incredible impact on Croy, as well as our state’s transportation system,” said Gregory D. Teague, PE, CEO of Croy. “It is a true joy to see him recognized for the impact he has made, and that has so clearly rippled far beyond our firm. We are grateful to have such a leader associated with our organization, and I’m honored to call him a friend.”
In his more than 50-year career, Croy has served in various roles such as former Director of Cobb County Department of Transportation (DOT), Deputy Director of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA), and Executive Director of the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA). In 2005, he founded Croy-MSE (later re-named Croy Engineering) alongside former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and developer John Williams. Under his leadership, the Marietta-based consulting firm has grown from a small company of 17 employees and one office location in Marietta to nearly 120 employees in three Southeastern states.
“Jim is a visionary leader and an extraordinary engineer,” says Michael L. “Sully” Sullivan, President and CEO of ACEC Georgia. “During his exceptional career, he has remained committed to the industry and the betterment of communities across the state. His robust portfolio of projects and initiatives will leave a lasting legacy for Georgia residents, making him an excellent honoree for our Engineering Impact Award.”
