Micky Dobson Joins Firm as Principal and Operations Director for Civil Business Unit

Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. (SSR), a leader among firms in design, consulting, and planning, is pleased to announce that Micky Dobson has joined the firm as a Principal and Operations Director for the firm’s civil business unit. In this role, Micky will be responsible for strategically leading the unit’s operations, driving growth, and enhancing the civil team’s impact across the communities we serve. 

Dobson brings nearly two decades of experience in civil engineering and urban development, having played a pivotal role in middle Tennessee’s transformation into a major metropolitan hub. His leadership on complex development projects—including collaboration with SSR’s MEP team on high-profile stadiums for the Nashville Sounds and Tennessee Titans—demonstrates his deep expertise in design and operations. 

“Micky has been part of Nashville’s transformation from a growing town to a major metropolitan player, leading complex development projects over the past two decades,” said Andrew Johnson, Principal. “His design and operational expertise, combined with the deep municipal water capabilities we have in-house, positions us to deliver even greater impact in our civil business unit as we grow while staying closely connected to the communities we serve.” 

Dobson’s hiring reflects our commitment to investing in leadership that aligns with our long-term vision and values. 

“I am very excited for the opportunity to join the SSR team,” said Dobson. “Over the years, I’ve made great relationships with SSR colleagues that I am eager to continue. In recent conversations with the leadership group, there is a clear vision and direction for the company’s future. I look forward to being a part of the continued success and growth of SSR.”
