We thank U.S. Bank for the opportunity to share our story and celebrate the journey that has brought us to where we are today.

In January 2026, Joey Anderson joined APEX Consulting Engineers as Director of Construction Services. Since beginning his career more than 30 years ago with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Joey has developed expertise in construction inspection, resident engineering, and project management. Throughout his career, he has worked on a wide range of transportation and municipal infrastructure projects. Today, he oversees APEX's construction services operations, supporting project delivery, staffing, training, and business development efforts.
 
Joey takes pride in his extensive hands-on field experience and believes it gives him a unique perspective as a leader. Even as a director, he remains actively involved in projects and enjoys staying connected to the day-to-day realities of construction management. His experience in the field provides him with a strong practical understanding of project delivery and a well-rounded perspective on team development.
 
Joey enjoys the variety that comes with his role, where each day presents new challenges and opportunities. Whether he's managing projects in the field, meeting with clients, reviewing resumes, or helping solve unexpected issues, he values the fast-paced nature of the work and the need to think strategically.
 
"We're not playing checkers. We're constantly playing chess."
 
One of the aspects of his role that Joey finds most rewarding is the opportunity to mentor employees and help them grow professionally. Having benefited from strong mentors throughout his own career, he is passionate about sharing his knowledge and helping develop the next generation of engineers and construction professionals.
 
Joey also appreciates the close-knit culture at APEX, where leadership is approachable and accessible. He values being part of conversations that shape projects and decisions and working in an environment where people are recognized as individuals rather than just roles.
 
As APEX continues to grow, Joey's goal is to help expand our construction services capabilities, strengthen our team of construction professionals, and position APEX for new opportunities. For him, personal success is inseparable from the success of the entire organization.
 
"My personal goal, my personal achievement doesn't mean anything if the company does not grow."
