Please join us in welcoming Keith LaGrange, P.E. to High Tide Consultants! 👏

We are excited to welcome Keith LaGrange, P.E. to the HTC team as a Senior Civil Engineer in our Covington office.

Keith brings more than two decades of engineering, public works, and project management experience across both the public and private sectors. Most recently, he served as Director of Public Works for the City of Mandeville. His career also includes serving as Director of Public Works for the City of New Orleans and Director of Public Works for St. Bernard Parish, as well as experience in private engineering consulting.

A graduate of the University of New Orleans, Keith brings an extensive understanding of municipal infrastructure, permitting, development review, construction, and the processes involved in taking projects from concept through approval and completion.

While much of Keith’s career has been in the public sector, he also has a strong interest in private development and site design projects. His experience working on the public side of the development and approval process gives him a unique perspective when assisting private clients. Understanding how municipalities review projects, identify concerns, coordinate infrastructure, and navigate permitting and approvals will be a valuable asset to HTC’s private development work.

Keith will work with our team on both private development and public infrastructure projects, bringing another level of experience and leadership to our growing engineering group.

We’re excited to have Keith at HTC and look forward to the knowledge, perspective, and experience he will bring to our clients and our team.

Welcome to HTC, Keith! 🎉
