Bedford, N.H.  May 7, 2026– TFMoran, a leading engineering and surveying company in northern New England since 1968, has announced that Robert Duval, PE, will be stepping down as President effective July 1, 2026.  He joined TFM as Chief Engineer in 2003 and has served as President since 2013.

Under Duval’s leadership, TFMoran expanded through strategic acquisitions, earned NH Business Review’s “Best Engineering Firm” BOB Award for 14 consecutive years, and was named “Best Company to Work For” by Business NH magazine for the past two years.

“We’ve built this company around exceptional service to our clients and our communities,” says Duval. “I’ve always believed that when you hire good people and provide them a positive work environment, you create a culture of success that benefits our employees, our company, and ultimately, our clients.”

“I am proud of the important contributions we have brought to our communities – introducing mixed-use developments, new employment opportunities, and workforce housing projects. These projects have improved the quality of life in our cities and towns, strengthening city centers while protecting the surrounding natural resources.”

“Nick has been an important part in TFMoran’s success over the past two decades,” says Duval.  “I have full confidence that Nick will lead TFMoran to even greater accomplishments in the years ahead.”

“This is an important and exciting moment for TFMoran, and we are deeply grateful to Bob for his many years of outstanding leadership and dedication,” said Golon. “Bob has led with preparedness, insight, curiosity and genuine care for both the people and the work, always encouraging us to ask the right questions and think more deeply. His guidance and presence have shaped our firm in lasting ways. With over 40 years of experience, Bob remains a trusted mentor and valued resource, and his impact will be felt for many years to come.”

Jay Aube Featured in New England Real Estate Journal 2026 Spring Preview

TFMoran is proud to share that our Director of Environmental Permitting and Senior Environmental Scientist, Jay Aube, CWS, was recently featured in the New England Real Estate Journal’s 2026 Spring Preview as part of their Expert Engineer Spotlight.

In his article, Jay highlights upcoming changes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), including the implementation of Nationwide Permits (NWPs) beginning March 15, 2026. These new permits will replace the existing Regional General Permits across New England, creating a more consistent federal permitting process.

One key takeaway is the introduction of a standardized 0.5-acre impact threshold for non-tidal resources, which may affect how projects are planned and permitted moving forward—particularly in states like New Hampshire.

For a full breakdown of what these changes mean and how they may impact future development, read Jay’s complete article here:
