Paul R. LeBaron has been named director of land surveying at Boston’s Nitsch Engineering, taking over the position from his father, Paul S. LeBaron.

With the firm for 10 years, the younger LeBaron is a registered professional land surveyor with more than 20 years of experience. In his new role, he will be responsible for managing the survey staff of 20, and providing quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) on projects. He specializes in laser scanning and will continue to oversee all of Nitsch Engineering’s laser scanning projects. He is a member of NAIOP and the Northeast Energy Commerce Association.

The eldest LeBaron will remain with Nitsch as executive project manager and will be focusing on managing projects, while mentoring and training staff. He has 39 years of experience working on public and private sector survey projects, and extensive knowledge in historical research throughout Eastern Massachusetts and upstate New York. He is a member of the Massachusetts Association of Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers, and the National Society of Professional Surveyors.

"Land surveying is a critical component of our services, and the LeBarons have been a key reason that the department has grown over the past 10 years," said Lisa A. Brothers, president and CEO of Nitsch Engineering. "Paul S. led the way in expanding our land surveying services and market sectors, and I’m delighted to work with Paul R. as he leads our land surveying department to even greater success in the future."
