Nick Golon Named President and Chief Engineer of TFMoran

Bedford, N.H. July 8, 2026– TFMoran, a leading engineering and surveying firm serving northern New England since 1968, has appointed Nick Golon, PE, as President and Chief Engineer, effective July 1, 2026. Golon succeeds Robert Duval, PE, who announced in May that he would step down as President while continuing as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Golon joined TFMoran in 2005 and has served for the past six years as a Principal and head of the firm’s Civil Engineering Department. He is the fourth President in TFMoran’s 58-year history.

Golon credited TFMoran’s thoughtful succession planning as a foundation for the firm’s continued momentum. “The future is always in motion. Throughout its history, TFMoran has adapted quickly, stayed nimble and evolved to meet the needs of its clients and communities. I’m excited for what’s ahead as we remain deeply committed to the clients, communities and colleagues who define our firm.”

Raised in Maine’s Lakes Region, Golon developed an early interest in engineering through his seventh-grade shop teacher and a bridge-building competition, where his bridge earned first place. He continued that path through drafting and design classes at Lake Region High School’s vocational center before attending Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering Technology. While at Wentworth, Golon gained hands-on co-op experience as a field surveyor and field engineer on projects including the Kendall Station Repowering project in Cambridge, Mass., and Boston’s Big Dig.

Golon brings more than 25 years of civil engineering experience across a broad range of projects and is licensed in New Hampshire and Maine. During his tenure at TFMoran, he has led some of the firm’s largest site development projects, including the Merrimack Station Clean Air Project, a major pollution-control upgrade designed to significantly reduce mercury and nitrogen oxide emissions, and the Village on Technology Hill, a 110-acre mixed-use live-work-play development that integrates residential, commercial, and industrial uses in a walkable, environmentally focused community.

Golon has served on the Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), including as President, and continues to support ASCE’s education committee, which raises more than $20,000 annually for scholarships awarded to high school and college students. He also serves on the Project Committee for NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire, helping recommend projects that advance the organization’s mission to enhance people’s lives and the community environment by providing access to quality housing. Outside work and community service, Golon lives with his wife and three children on their 1785 homestead in Bedford, N.H. He enjoys gardening, landscaping, following the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots, and telling stories around the campfire with his family.

“Our past presidents established a strong legacy of technical excellence, steady leadership, and trusted client service, and I look forward to continuing that progress,” Golon said. “TFMoran’s strength has always come from its people and from the long-standing relationships we have built with our clients, partners, and communities. As we move forward, we will remain focused on delivering thoughtful, practical solutions while supporting the next generation of engineers, surveyors, and design professionals who will carry the firm into the future.”

Bedford, N.H.  June 10, 2026 – TFMoran, a leading engineering and surveying company in northern New England since 1968, is pleased to announce that Jay Aube, Director of Environmental Permitting, is stepping into the role of Principal and joining the firm’s ownership group.

Aube has more than 20 years of environmental permitting experience, including five years at TFMoran. His expertise includes wetland delineation, functional assessments, compensatory mitigation and restoration plans, as well as the design and permitting of coastal resiliency and shoreline stabilization projects. His work regularly involves environmental permitting at the federal, state, and local levels, and representing clients before regulatory agencies, boards, and commissions.

“Jay has been instrumental in TFMoran’s mission of promoting responsible development while protecting important natural resources,” said Robert Duval, TFMoran President. “His focus on environmental permitting ensures that projects are approved efficiently and responsibly.

Aube has contributed to several high-profile TFMoran projects, including the Granite Woods Commerce Center, a 500,000-square-foot Class A warehouse that required complex environmental permitting and infrastructure planning. The project extended municipal water and sewer service to the I-93 Exit 11 interchange, permanently preserved more than 400 acres of land, and added much-needed industrial space to the southern New Hampshire market. Aube was instrumental in securing the environmental permits for the project.

Aube is a Certified Wetland Scientist and serves on legislative committees for the Associated General Contractors of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Association of Natural Resources Scientists.

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:
