Celebrating Matthew Smith Joining the Principal Team

Please join us in congratulating Matthew Smith, PE, in his new role as Principal. His dedication to our team and clients has been instrumental in shaping Anchor’s success. We look forward to seeing his impact on the leadership team and how he will help shape Anchor’s future!

Matthew joined the Anchor team in 2013 as a Project Engineer, shortly after graduating from Calvin University with a B.S. in Engineering with a concentration in Civil and Environmental Engineering. During his tenure at Anchor, Matthew has additionally filled the roles of Project Manager and Director of Engineering. In his new role as Principal, he will oversee the overall operations of Anchor Construction, as well as contribute to the direction of Weaver Companies, a group of four interconnected companies, including Anchor, each focusing on specialized, in-demand components of environmental development, construction, and civil engineering.

Over the years, Matthew has become a driving force behind our success, bringing over a decade of experience in civil-site engineering and becoming a licensed professional engineer in over 20 states. Matthew has a strong background in civil-site engineering, including site layouts, stormwater drainage, utilities, erosion control, and project management for industrial, manufacturing, warehousing, commercial, and solid waste facility construction projects. He also has valuable experience in land planning, zoning, land use entitlements, and managing projects and personnel.

Having worked on projects like our recent silicone polymers manufacturing facility project or several large warehousing projects across the country and playing a key role in expanding the company’s presence in markets such as plastics manufacturing facilities and the solid waste industry, Matthew is well-prepared to take on this role and guide our team forward.

Anchor is proud to have the ability to promote from within and continues to invest in strengthening our next generation of leaders to support the company’s growth.
