Posted by Kimberly Walters on March 01, 2023

J.F. Brennan Company, Inc. (Brennan) announces the promotion of Christopher Rousseau, P.E., F. ASCE to Hydro and Renewable Energy Market Leader. Rousseau’s promotion is announced concurrently with Brennan’s strategic objective to further invest in renewable energy development.

Rousseau will use decades of experience in hydroelectric generation working for Midwest-based utility, Minnesota Power, to support the repair and rehabilitation needs of Brennan’s hydro dam clients. Catering to a huge need for early contractor involvement; Rousseau is bridging the gap between hydroelectric dam owners, engineers, and the contractor teams that perform inspections, maintenance, and rehabilitation work.

“Our commitment to alternative project delivery methods, including CM/GC, and other forms of early contractor involvement, means we’re uniquely prepared to serve hydro asset owners in all aspects,” says Rousseau.

Rousseau currently sits on the National Hydropower Association (NHA) Board of Directors, where he works closely with hydro users across the country in promoting the nation’s largest source of green energy. “We are committed to strengthening market focus within the hydropower and renewable energy industry,” concludes Rousseau.
